Generating a Configuration File and (Optional) Parameter

Object File

Before you can load application tasks to the AutoMax Processors and UDC

modules in the rack, you must generate a configuration file for the rack and

parameter object file(s) for the UDC module(s). These files will be downloaded to

the rack first. The rack for which the configuration will be created must be

selected first.
14. Select the Generate Configuration command from the Command pull down

menu in the Task Manager.

15. Exit the Task Manager.

Loading the Operating System onto the Rack

Before loading any application tasks onto the rack, you must connect the cable

between the personal computer and the leftmost Processor module in the rack

and load the operating system onto the rack. Loading the operating system

onto the AutoMax Processors or UDC modules in the rack deletes any

existing operating system and all application tasks in the rack.
16. Select the Command pullĆdown menu from the System Configurator. Select

Load Operating System to load the operating system to all AutoMax

Processors and/or UDC modules in the rack, and optionally, to all Processors

in all racks on the network.

Loading the Configuration File, (Optional) Parameter Object

File, and Application Tasks

17. Select the Manage Tasks command from the Rack menu at the System

Configurator. Select ONăLINE from the Task Manager screen. At this point

you can load the configuration file, the parameter object file(s), and all

application tasks for the selected rack. The configuration file, always called

_CONF.CNF, must be loaded first or at the same time as the application tasks.
