It is possible to configure the onboard inputs and outputs of the PCD3.M2xxx with the "device configurator". A download of this configuration is not stored.
To use the internal flash memory with file system on a PCD3 Compact (e.g. M2130V6), at least firmware version 1.08.12 is necessary!
No. This is a PG5 restriction. The ethernet configuration can only be loaded to CPU 0. It is not possible to configure the PCD6.M3 with ethernet-module as an other CPU than CPU 0.
In february 2010 a new firmware version for the systems PCD2.M177 and PCD.Smart.M177 has been introduced into production. The reason for this introduction is that a new type of flash is used on the PCD7.R400 memory modules. This new flash memory is only supported by the new firmware 3.123 (and later versions).
Yes, it is possible to connect one or two encoders with A, B and index signal directly to the onboard inputs of a PCD3.M2x30V6.
Important note: Since the PCD6 is phased out, it is not possible anymore to send the PCD6.M300 back for modification/upgrade.
In this case the DP profile: "Universell DP / FMS" has to be chosen. Other protocols won't work due to timing problems.
