Installing and Operating the SPC 2120 Utility,
Operating the SPC 2120 Utility
Note: A serial cable must be connected from COM1 of the PC to a 2120
Computer Port prior to running the SPC 2120 Utility.
To run the SPC 2120 Utility, type SPC2120 [/option] from the C:\SPC2120
directory. Typing SPC2120 without a specified option assumes a complete
download from Port 1. The options are listed below.
•
/A - Complete Download
•
/L - Update Custom Labels
•
/P - Update Priorities
•
/S - Update Suppressions
•
/Nn - Port number; n = the port number (only used as a file reference)
•
/H or /? - Shows list of parameters (help)
In order to perform the updating options (/L, /P, or /S), a matching 2120_N.SLI
(where "N" is the number of the 2120 node) file must already exist. When doing
these updates, the point information is referenced from the existing 2120_N.SLI
file. Then the specified update request information (/L, /P, or /S) is received
from the 2120 and compared to the existing information before writing a new
file. When doing a Complete Download, all information is received from the
2120. In both cases, the original file is backed up to 2120_N.SAV. If this file
already exists, the program prompts you to enter a filename.
Once the SPC 2120 command is entered, the program asks you for a job name.
You can type up to eight characters for a job name and press Enter. The SPC
2120 informs you when the system completes a successful download.
Before copying the SPC 2120 output file into the GCC/NPU directory structure,
rename it from "2120IOn.SLI" to the 2120 CMS file number without the
revision letter. For example, if the CMS file number is "W123456A", then
rename the file from "2120IOn.SLI" to "W123456.SLI". Before an update
option /L, /P, or /S can be performed, the file must be renamed back to
"2120IOn.SLI" for the SPC 2120 program to find an existing comparison file.
Before starting the SPC 2120 program, make sure all points to be copied to the
GCC/NPU are vectored to the download port. Only the points vectored to the
2120 download port will be copied to the output file.
Notes: • Print class 1 points are vectored to all ports and print class 0
points are not vectored to any ports. Points that were print
class 0 and do not need to be printed at the 2120 strip printer
should be changed to print class 7 and then vectored to the
download port.
• When running the SPC 2120 program, the PC should be
connected to the port on the 2120 that will be connected to the
GCC at runtime.
