Loading and Starting Panel Programs

A Panel program is created using PCS and then transferred (loaded) to the Panel through the serial interface when Teach Mode is selected. To start an application, RUN Mode must be selected. The following sections outline how to load, start, and reload the operating system.

Loading the Panel Program

1. Connect the PC (COM1 or COM2) to the Panel Controller (always IF0) using the appropriate serial cable (see Appendix A).

Note

If you are using a printer with the C400, the printer must be disconnected while the Panel program is loaded.

2. Select Teach Mode (position 7).

3. Press the Reset button.

4. Wait until Teach-Modeis displayed.

5. Start the transfer from PCS.

6. Wait until PCS acknowledges that the entire Panel program has been transferred.

Starting the Panel Program

1. Select Run Mode (position 5, or 1 — 4, as appropriate).

2. Connect the PLC to the Panel Controller.

3. Press the Reset button.

The Panel Controller's operating system can be reloaded from PCS.

4.Wait until PCS acknowledges that the update is complete.
