12.5 Programming System Flash

The Power Panel is delivered without an operating system installed. An operating system can be
downloaded or updated using the programming software. Installation of the operating system is
possible with both programming systems. When carrying out operating system download for the
first time using B&R Automation Studio™ , the steps below must be taken:
1) Switch off power supply to the PLC.
2) Set the MODE switch to 00.
3) Switch on the power supply again.
4) Make on-line connection to PC (physcially).
5) Start B&R Automation Studio™ ("OFFLINE" is displayed in the status bar)
6) Select menu item "PROJECT" - "SERVICES" - "TRANSFER OPERATING SYSTEM"
7) A window named "Operating System Transfer" opens
8) The COM port can be changed in this window, if required. Only in this case (using the "Try
to connect Bootstraploader" button) must the connection be reestablished. If several PLC
sofware versions are available, these can also be selected.
9) By clicking on "Next" in the new window CAN bus specific settings can be made.

12.6 PCMCIA Slot

The Power Panels are equipped with one PCMCIA interface for B&R memory cards. PCMCIA
memory cards conforming to JEIDA V4.0 Type I or PCMCIA Standard Release 2.0 (max. 3 mm
high) are supported.
The memory on the PCMCIA card can be used with all types of B&R modules. Executable
programmes (Task) should not be stored on the PCMCIA card, because accessing the card
takes considerably longer than accessing the Power Panel's onboard memory.

Update Mode - In this switch position, the Power Panel checks if an update memory card is inserted. If no card
is inserted, the Power Panel goes into SERVICE mode. Otherwise (depending on the Update configuration) the
operating system and/or the user-ROM for the Power Panel is cleared and reinstalled from the memory card. If
an error occurs during the installation, the red ERROR LED blinks. When no errors have occurred during
installation the green READY LED and the yellow RUN LED blink.
Reserved for B&R expansions – these settings are not allowed to be used!
