Onboard Memory Manager

Use the Onboard Memory Manager tab to view and manage objects stored in the onboard (FLASH) memory of a motion controller. The size and number of programs is completely flexible. It is ultimately limited by the 32 total memory objects in the Object Registry or by total available memory, whichever is reached first.
