SIMATIC VPU200/560 Programming Manual
Copying Second Generation Formats. For a source disk which has a
Second Generation format, the copy operation requires the following steps
to be performed.
1.
Insert the source disk into the VPU200.
2.
Press the CONTINUE (F2) function key to begin. While the Operation
is in progress, three types of information are given on the screen. First,
the word "READING" appears on the left side of the screen to indicate
that the operation is in progress,. Second, a message will be shown on
the right side of the screen to indicate how many times the source and
target disks must be exchanged to copy the disk. Finally, a series of
dashes will appear on the screen. Each dash represents 2K bytes of
data, which is called a cluster. As each cluster is read, the dash will
change to a dot.
3.
Wait for the VPU200 to beep. Then remove the source disk.
4.
Insert the target disk in the disk drive.
5.
Press the CONTINUE (F2) function key to resume the operation: The
word "WRITING" now appears, and the message on the right side of
the screen is updated to show the number of disk changes left to do.
Also, the series of dashes reappear and change to dots as described
above.
6.
Wait for the VPU200 to beep, which will indicate that the writing
portion of the copy operation is complete.
7.
Repeat steps 1 through 6 until the entire disk is copied.
8.
When the disk is copied, the phrase, COPY COMPLETE, will appear
and the Power-up Menu is then displayed.
Any errors which occur before the copy operation begins will halt the copy
operation and display an error message. Also, the ABORT and CONTINUE
function keys will become available, which allow you to correct the problem
and continue with the operation without returning to the original menu. If
an error occurs after the copy operation begins, the operation will abort and
the original menu will be shown on the screen.
