OMRON PLC memory expansion?

Calling out to the OMRON PLC fans,

I am currently programming an Omron CJ2H-CPU66. I am needing to take a previous program from the larger CPU (CJ2H-CPU67) and commissioning it on this CPU66.

I am now experiencing memory allocation issues. Please refer to the attached screenshot (it basically says I have insufficient memory space for the 'FB non-reained' - this inhibits me from compiling the code error-free)

I have a 128MB expansion card on the CPU66. Does anyone know if it is possible to utilize the memory card to act as an extension of the CPU internal memory areas?

Is your expansion card fitted to the CF slot, or another module??
I do not know of any other types of expansion cards, nor anyway of utilizing the CF memory as an extension of the CPU memory in the format that you are asking.

It will be a challenge to trim down a program from a larger CPU, is the step memory within limits? (View, Memory View)

That is a pretty large area for your non-retained FB's though, there must be a lot of individual instances?
The FM memory can be re-structured within limits, but looking at the size of this one not sure if you would get that far...
I'm guessing that this application could be streamlined if it wasn't reliant on so many memory hungry FB's...

Why the change to the 66 from 67, is it price?
 
Thanks lostcontrol for your response, I've resolved the issue now.
Yes there are plenty of FBs used.
What I did was to relocate the FBs to a different memory area and address.
Voila - fixed!
The change from 67 to 66 is beyond my control (it's the typical story - whats been supplied is supplied and the client needs it to work).

Thanks.
 
Hi Jamesrustin,

Referring to the 'memory view' of CPU67, the 'E' memory area stretches from E0 to EE, whereas CPU66 has a smaller 'E' memory range (E0 to E9 only).

My fix was to simply shift the allocated memory of CPU67 residing between EA to EE back into memory range E0 to E9 - voila!
