See attached file for more details. A little old, but should still suffice.

Hi,
From your explanation it seems there are some changes in the CBM project from the last download to the controller or the CF's contain the different version of the project or both.
As per my experience, the right procedure is the following:
- in case you receive "Fatal error..." from control builder, remove both CF cards and batteries from the CPU
- reset the CPU's by means of switch off the power supply. Also you can use INIT buttons but I'm doing it by power supply
- download the last version of your project to the controller. Check when both CPU's are in working condition (primary and backup/dual)
- writhe the project to both CF cards - download to removable media from control builder. The CF's contents must be the same when you have redundant CPU
- insert CF in both CPU's. You can do that in operational condition of the CPU's

Thank you all for your response. Even though the feature of loading the controller with configuration data exist since quite long time, But the Improved feature of going online (I was getting fatal error..) after writing the configuration data to the external memory card is included from Control Builder Ver SV5.1.0/1.

Hi thanks for your response. The improved feature of going online after writing the configuration data to external memory card is included in ABB800xA SV5.1 Rev A.
