You will use three types of file to manage your melter's system: .DAT files
(upgrading), .NOR files (system configuration) and .PLC (flex map).
S
.DAT files contain the melter firmware and are used for upgrading the
firmware on the melter. The ProBlue Flex melter internally retains
knowledge of its current software version.
S
.NOR files contain the data shown in Table 6. The .NOR file is used to
transfer system settings, recipes, PLC maps, and event log data
to/from a melter and BBconn Cloud.
S
.PLC files include only the custom ADI data map created using
BBconn Cloud. .PLC files are also included in .NOR files.
