Warm Booting the Module
Caution: Some of the commands available to you from this menu are designed for
advanced debugging and system testing only, and can cause the module to stop
communicating with the processor or with other devices, resulting in potential data loss
or other failures. Only use these commands if you are specifically directed to do so by
ProSoft Technology Technical Support staff. Some of these command keys are not
listed on the menu, but are active nevertheless. Please be careful when pressing keys
so that you do not accidentally execute an unwanted command.
Press [W] from the Main Menu to warm boot (restart) the module. This command
will cause the program to exit and reload, refreshing configuration parameters
that must be set on program initialization. Only use this command if you must
force the module to re-boot.
Transferring Module Configuration to the Processor
Press [Y] to transfer the module's configuration data to the processor. Ladder
logic is required in the processor to receive and implement the updated
configuration. You will be prompted to confirm the transfer.
If the operation is not successful, an error code will be returned.
Code Description
0 Transfer successful
-1 Error transferring module configuration data (block -9000)
-2 Error transferring device definition data (blocks -9100 to -9103)
-3 Error transferring master command list data (blocks -6000 to -6007)
After successful data transfer, the module will perform a warm-boot operation to
read in the new data.
