After a short time the fi elds are populated with the current parameters.
The parameters can now be edited by selecting the respective fi elds
using the ENTER button and setting the desired values using the UP/

Once the parameters have been chosen they can be updated following
the procedure described for confi guring pCOWeb.
10.5 Saving parameters between diff erent
software versions
The confi guration parameters can be saved and loaded after having
updated the software. The update requires the fi les relating to the new
version being loaded (fi les with the following extensions: .iup, .blx., .blb,
.grt, .dev) and the connection fi les (fi les with the following extensions:
.2cf, .2ct, .2cd) for the installed version and the new version.
The connection fi les must be copied to the ''2cf'' directory under pRack
Manager, for example C:\Program Files\CAREL\pRackManager\2cf.
The update procedure including saving the parameters is as follows (for
details on the functions of the pRack Manager software see the online
manual):
1.
Switch the unit off from the user terminal or supervisor or digital
input
2. Connect the PC where pRack Manager is installed using the pLAN
serial (disconnect the terminal if necessary) and disconnect any BMS
connections
3.
Start the pRack Manager software
4. In the ''Connection settings'' panel, set Baud rate to ''Auto'' and
SearchDevice to ''Auto (pLAN)'' and select the COM port under
PortNumber (if necessary, use the Wizard to detect the correct COM)
5.
In Commissioning/Settings select the .2cf fi le relating to the version
on pRack pR300, e.g. 1.0
6.
Power down pRack pR300, power up again and wait for the controller
to come "On line"
7. In Device Confi guration read all the variables and save them to an .txt
fi le (required)
8.
Update the software version on pRack pR300, selecting from pRack
Load the following update fi les and selecting ''Update graphic
resources and ''Enable zipped upload'':
•
.iup (maximum 2 fi les)
•
.blx
•
.blb
• ClearAllx.dev, where x is the pLAN address of the board being
updated
9.
Wait for the update procedure to end.
10. Power down, disconnect the PC and if necessary reconnect the terminal
11. Power up again and run a quick start-up procedure (pre-confi gurations
or Wizard, confi rming the default parameters)
12.
Power down

13.
Reconnect pRack Manager and power up again
14.
In Commissioning/Settings select the .2cf fi le relating to the new version
now loaded on pRack
15. From Device Confi guration, import the previously saved .txt fi le and
write all the variables
16.
Power down, disconnect the PC and reconnect the terminal if
necessary
17.
Power up again
At the end of the procedure, pRack pR300 will be programmed with the
updated software and the previously confi gured parameters.
Important: if using the BMS serial port to read/write variables,
pRack pR300 continues operating, and therefore software malfunctions
may occur. Consequently, use the RS485 serial port provided for the pLAN
connection when carrying out the software update operations described
above.
Note: to update the software without maintaining the parameter
confi guration, simply complete steps 1 to 4 and 8 to 10 in the previous
procedure. In this case, the unit will need to be reconfi gured using the
complete start-up procedure.
