Uploading a .PLC File from BBconn Cloud File to a Melter

E 2020 Nordson Corporation
There are two methods:
1. A .PLC file is contained within the .NOR file. Download the .NOR file from
BBconn Cloud to the root of a USB drive, then insert the USB drive into
the melter.
2. Save the .PLC file to a the root of a USB drive, then insert the USB drive
into the melter. Make sure no other files, such as .NOR or .DAT files are
located on the root of the USB.

Backward Compatibility

The ProBlue Flex melter is designed for maximum backward compatibility
with older Blue Series melters. For many melters using Ethernet/IP, it is
possible to connect the ProBlue Flex melter where a Blue Series melter was
connected and it will run automatically with no PLC programming required:
S
If a Blue Series melter was defined as a generic device on the
Ethernet/IP network, the ProBlue Flex melter will be automatically
backward-compatible when installed in place of the Blue Series
melter.
S
If a melter is not defined as a generic device on the Ethernet/IP
network, the PLC program for the parent machine will need to be
slightly modified to accept the new ProBlue Flex melter.
S
If a melter is on a PROFINET network, the PLC program will need a
new GSDML file that properly identifies the ProBlue Flex melter on
the PROFINET network. This GSDML file is included in the Starter
Kit.
