Downloading and Monitoring
Executable
LogicPro converts your control logic program into a binary
executable program. This program is in the form of a DOS
“.exe”. This file is converted to a hex file and is then
downloaded to the controller and run.
Downloading to a controller through an RS-232 Port
To download the executable program generated by LogicPro,
follow this simple procedure.
1.
If downloading to a PPC-2000 controller:
a.
Set the control mode for each channel to
Off
.
b.
Set each alarm to
Disabled
.
2.
If downloading to a CPC400 controller, note any alarms.
Once downloading commences, all alarms are automati-
cally acknowledged.
ç
CAUTION!
Input readings during downloads are not accurate
and may vary widely due to allocation of CPU re-
sources for downloading. Stopping closed loop
control and disabling alarms ensures that outputs
remain off during download.
3.
Connect the computer to the controller by a standard
RS-232C connection through the COM1 or COM2 serial
ports.
