Where is the CompactFlash memory slot and USB connector located?

The CompactFlash memory slot and USB connector are typically located on the pendant of a machine or control system. The pendant serves as the operator's interface for controlling the system, providing essential access to various functions and features. This location allows for easy access and convenient data transfers, which are crucial for uploading files, updating firmware, or managing configurations.

Placing these connectors on the pendant makes it ergonomic for the operator to utilize during operations, facilitating quick interactions without needing to navigate to a larger control console or panel. In contrast, other locations such as the pedestal, main console, or control panel might not provide the same level of accessibility and ease of use, especially in dynamic working environments where quick adjustments and data handling are often required.
