Programming the Smart Key via Personal Computer
The operating modes described in the table below can be confi gured
using a program on the PC. The program can also load the software to the
key or transfer logged data from the controller to disk.
Type Function
Update software from key to pCO
B
(BIOS, application, parameters, etc.)
Copy software from pCO to pCO
C*
(BIOS, application, parameters, etc.)
D Read logs
Read logged data and software from
E pCO (BIOS, application, parameters,
etc.)
F Read logged data
G Copy from pCO to pCO and read logs
*: Default mode
The key is factory-programmed in read/write mode (type C) so that it can
be used immediately to transfer software from one controller to another.
When the key is connected to the personal computer, the symbols have
the following meanings:
Flashing Waiting for connection to PC
Alternating When connected to PC indicates data transfer in
progress
The programming key is compatible starting from BIOS version 3.43 and
BOOT version 3.01. For more detailed information on programming the
key, see the pCO Manager program manual.
Using the Smart Key with the pCO
Switch off the pCO, remove any peripherals connected in the pLAN
and plug the key into the telephone connector on the controller. When
switching on again, all the symbols light up momentarily and the buzzer
emits a beep. A few seconds later the key becomes operational. During
this period the symbols
programming mode and the start button lights up steadily. Press the
button to start data transfer.
Important: If the key is type B, C or G (in write mode) pressing the
start button will immediately delete the software already loaded on the
pCO.
Important: Do not remove the key while data is being transferred
to the key itself, as the fi le being transferred will be lost and the
corresponding space will not be restored. To restore the original capacity
all the fi les will need to be deleted. If the key is type "C" or "G", simply
perform a new application read operation.
