Rockwell Automation 2706-ND1 DL40 OFFLINE PROGRAMMING SFTWR.USER MANUAL - Manual (Page 29)

Chapter 3
Installing the Software
3 – 3
DOS version 6.0 introduced the MEMMAKER command, which automates
memory management and can often free large amounts of RAM. DOS 6.0
and higher versions also allow you to create multiple configuration files from
which to choose at startup. This feature can prove useful on PCs used for
programming the DL40 as well as other activities.
Refer to your DOS user manuals for information on creating and editing
CONFIG.SYS files, techniques for optimizing memory, and using multiple
configuration files on a single PC.
The Offline Programming Software can be installed and run in any of three
distinct environments:
•
without PassThrough file transfers
•
with PassThrough file transfers over a DH+ link
•
with PassThrough file transfers over an Ethernet link
Installation of the basic Offline Programming Software is the same for all
three environments. You will have to perform additional steps to install
PassThrough capability on either a DH+ or Ethernet link.
Use the following procedure to install the basic Offline Programming
Software files on an IBM PC. Note that prompts appearing here represent a
typical PC. The prompts you see on your computer may vary slightly from
those shown here.
1 Start your computer and log on to the hard disk (normally you will see the
DOS prompt C:>).
Note: Depending on your installation, your DOS prompt may be
different.
2 Insert the DL40 Offline Programmer disk into the micro drive. Most often
this will be the A: drive.
3 At the DOS prompt (C:>), type:
A:INSTALL
↵
4 Follow the onscreen installation prompts until installation is complete and
the C:> prompt reappears. Note: If the Offline Programming Software
program is already on disk, you will be able to overwrite the program
during installation.
5 The installation procedure automatically creates a default sub–directory
which contains the Offline Programming Software program. By default
that directory is
DL40 . Change to that directory by typing:
CD\DL40
