Uploading and Downloading Files

5.3Downloading Files to the Bridge

Before initiating your first download:

HInstall an HTTP server on the host machine and configure it as described in Section 5.1.

HCopy the program DWNLD.EXE from the host software diskette to the HTTP cgi--bin directory you have configured on the host machine:

<drive:>\<http_root_directory>\cgi-bin

5.3.1Download Overview

You can download a new version of the bridge’s application SGATE.BIN file or mapping RTE.TXT file to the bridge. To download a file, write the host URL and filename as data to register 8 in the bridge. After the download, the status of the download will be stored in the file MODICON.LOG in the host cgi--bin directory.

SGATE.BIN

When the download is complete and the bridge is restarted, the bridge will copy SGATE.BIN to its application program SGATE.EXE. It will begin running this as its new application.

RTE.TXT

The bridge’s mapping tables are stored within the bridge in the file RTE.CFG. Before downloading new mapping, you must place it in a file named RTE.TXT.

If you have previously uploaded RTE.CFG, the file’s contents are appended into the MODICON.LOG file in your cgi--bin directory. You can copy those RTE.CFG contents from MODICON.LOG and paste them into an RTE.TXT file. Then you can download the RTE.TXT.

The RTE.TXT download will write a new RTE.CFG file in the bridge. When the download is complete and the bridge is restarted, the bridge will use this file’s contents as its new mapping tables between TCP and Modbus Plus.

5.3.2Initiating a Download

To initiate a download:

HPut the file to be downloaded (SGATE.BIN or RTE.TXT) into the

<http_root_directory> of the host machine.
