7 Transferring Project Files

Once you have configured and saved your project file for your particular application, you need to download it to the DTU3005 unit. First verify which COM port on your computer is used to upload and download projects to the DTU3005 unit (see Chapter 8). Then, select Transfer from the main menu and the following selections are available:

•Download project to DTU3005—allows you to transfer (download) any created project file from your PC to the DTU3005.

•Upload project from DTU3005—allows you to transfer (upload) the project file stored in the DTU3005 to the PC.

•Verify—allows you to verify a project file within your computer against the current project file stored in the DTU3005 unit.

•Check Application in DTU3005—allows you to check what type of project file is loaded (PLC to devices, Modbus Master to devices, or Passthrough) and which protocols have been loaded for each of the communication ports. It also reports the revision level of the DTU3005 unit’s firmware.

Before using the Transfer commands, you must physi- cally connect port 3 of the DTU3005B to your com- puter using a null modem cable. Also be sure that power is supplied to the DTU3005.
