• etc... A set called ‘DA-52s Application’ is used to upgrade the control Operating system and the DA application, without affecting the existing user data (products, tools, materials) on the control. A set called ‘DA-52s Factory Default’ is typically used for first time installation of all software on a DA-52s control, including example products, tools and materials.

Delem 1.2.2. Backup/restore the application Backup The update program offers the possibility to make a backup of the current software set that is installed on the control. This way, the current application is saved with its existing settings before the software is updated. With this procedure all data is stored: •...
The names you see in the list are retrieved from each available configuration file. You can change the content to add items to the standard Delem update set or create a small set which can be run separately, after the Delem update. A .cfg file contains six sections: 1.

Delem updater. The lines following after that give additional information which is displayed in the updater window. The update program is delivered with a text file, called ‘UpdaterReadme.txt’. Also, the standard configuration file ‘Application.cfg’ contains a lot of comment which describes the possibilities of the update set.
It is possible to install software options on the control. Options can be requested at Delem. Options for a DA-52s control can be purchased at any moment. It is done by buying an ‘Option Voucher’ for a specific function (e.g. 2nd servo axis). A new option voucher is valid for any DA-52s control.

Some important directories: \Hard Disk\Delem\Bin This directory contains the Delem control application files. The control application ‘Delem.exe’ is automatically started when the control is activated. Furthermore the Delem sequencer file and the KO-Table are located here. \Hard Disk\Delem\Data Directory with the ‘products’ and ‘tools’ subdirectories, which contain all products and tools for this control.
A lot of control settings are stored in files, which are located on the hard disk of the control. This is the case for the Delem application as well as for the Windows platform. Whenever the control is (re)started, the software will search for these files and retrieve the last saved settings.

Lines in the file that start with ‘REM’ are considered as comment. In the beginning of the file, the ‘if’ instruction checks if the Delem application has a KO-table to work with. If such a KO-table is present, the subsequent instruction is skipped.
Delem 2.5. Control Rescue procedure The Rescue procedure for the Delem control is meant to re-install all original software on the control. It is meant as a last resort, when other attempts to ‘cure’ the control have failed and/or the control does no longer boot from the internal flash memory).

Delem Part III - The diagnostic program To be able to test a DA-52s control, it has been equipped with a diagnostic program. With the test functions of the diagnostic program the service engineer can test the control itself and the communications to externally connected system components.
In the description of the tests it is indicated which component(s) is(are) responsible for correct functioning of that particular part. See for exploded view drawing with all internal cables and cards of the DA-52s controls the included diagrams at the end of part I.
To end the diagnostic program the power supply to the control can be switched off and then on again to enter the normal operation menu. It is also possible to leave the diagnostic program with the ‘END’-key. The Delem application will restart.
Delem 3. Key test Function This test is meant to check the functioning of all the frontpanel keys. Description First you see a matrix with all keys, like in figure 3.a. Figure 3.a • Each time you press a key on the front, the corresponding position on the screen will give a unique indication.
Delem 4. Screen test Function The screen of the control can be tested with 2 different test programs, to be selected with the front panel keys. Figure 4.a colortest Check the display of colours on the screen. V0614, 3.5...

Delem Colortest To get a good idea about the colour setting and correct functioning of the colour screen you will see a number of vertical bars. It is important that the 3 main colours are available (red, green and blue).
Delem 5. I/O test 5.1. Test screen Description In this screen the system I/O of the control can be tested and monitored. Analog and digital outputs can be set high and low with keys on the front panel. The read-out of analog inputs and the encoders is continuously. When a reference pulse of the linear scales is received in the electronics, the corresponding measured value will shortly be highlighted in inverse colour.

The test procedure for valve deflection depends on the type of valves that is installed. On the following two pages two different procedures are described. The first procedure is for Hoerbiger valves, which are connected directly to the DA-52s. The second procedure must be followed when external valve amplifiers are used to control the valves.
