See Appendix T for problems that can occur when you load
operating systems.
Types of AutoMax Operating Systems
The AutoMax operating system, which oversees the operation of the
AutoMax Processors and the execution of application tasks, is provided
in two versions: 6011ĆEthernet and 7010ĆStandard. The 6011Ć Ethernet
operating system can be loaded onto M/N 57C431 Processors. In order
to use the Ethernet functions that allow communication over Ethernet
using the TCP/IP protocol, an Ethernet Network Interface module (M/N
47C440) must be installed in the rack and the Ethernet operating system
must be used. The Ethernet operating system is also required if any of
the following functions are used in BASIC tasks: READVAR%,
WRITEVAR%, FINDVAR!, and CONVERT%. The 7010 Ć Standard
operating system, which supports all of the Ethernet functions, must be
used with the M/N 57C435 Processor.
When you load the AutoMax operating system to the Processor
modules in the rack, the Ethernet operating system will be loaded to
all M/N 57C431 Processors. The 7010ĆStandard operating system will
be loaded to all M/N 57C435 Processors. The M/N 57C431 and
57C435 make 290K available for application tasks.
Time Required to Load Operating Systems
The operating system(s) will be loaded at the maximum baud rate
available for the Processor being used. If you are using 6010/6011
and 7010 Processors in the same rack, make sure that the leftmost
Processor is a 7010 (M/N 57C435) Processor. This will allow the
operating system(s) to be loaded at 19200 baud. If the leftmost
Processor in the rack is a M/N 57C431, the operating system(s) will
be loaded at 9600 baud. At 9600 baud, it will require approximately
two minutes to load each operating system to the Processors in the
rack. If there are 6011 and 7010 Processors in the same rack, it will
take approximately twice as long as it would if there were only one
type of Processor in the rack. The UDC operating system requires
approximately four minutes to load to each UDC module in the rack.
What to Do Next
After loading the appropriate operating systems to the rack following
the instructions below, you would normally load compiled application
tasks and (optionally) UDC drive parameters to the rack. See section
14.3 for more information.
5.4.3.1
Procedure for Loading All Operating Systems to the Rack
The flowchart in figure 5.25 illustrates the options you have when
loading the AutoMax operating systems and UDC operating systems
(if DPS drive software has been installed). Before loading the
operating system(s), review this flowchart carefully.
Use the steps that follow to initiate the Load Operating Systems
procedure.
Step 1.
If you have not already done so, turn on the personal
computer and run the AutoMax Programming Executive.
Step 2.
Turn on power to the rack. Note that if the AutoMax
Processors in the rack do not have an operating system,
the leftmost AutoMax Processor module in the rack will
display the letters L" and O" (reading top to bottom).
This code prompts you to load the operating system.
