1.2 AS System File for PROGRAF AS+

Your commisioning diskette contains a directory PROGRAF after extracting. This contains the system file AS.SYS required for PROGRAF AS+.

Copy the file AS.SYS into your PROGRAF PC into the directory drv:\PROGRAF\USER\

The system file of the AS 488/TM automation system is then known to PROGRAF AS+. Carry out your PROGRAF AS configuring in the usual manner.

Note:

From PROGRAF AS+ V3.00 onwards, the AS commands FORM, LA, AR, DI and DEL are also allowed for online structuring.

After "LA,name;" PROGRAF AS+ terminates the coupling to AS 488/TM (message "BUS STRUCTURING ABORTED"). The coupling must be re-established after the loading and reset procedure is complete (new ANMS).

Caution:

Under no circumstances should PROGRAF AS+ be stopped while the AS is

 

being reset, as this causes the bus structuring in the AS to remain active.

 

If it should happen nonetheless, the user of PROGRAF AS+ should logon on

 

the same AS.

1.3 Master Type File for COM ET200 / COM PROFIBUS

In the DOKU folder on the IBS tool diskette, there are two files for the ET200 configuration tool COM ET200 or COM PROFIBUS.

The master type-file ‘SI8050AX.2MH’ must be copied to the MASTERS directory of the installed COM PROFIBUS. Its contents specify the AS 488/TM as the host system and the module card IF964 as the DP master. The bitmap file ‘AS488TM.BMP’ must be copied into the BITMAPS directory. Once COM PROFIBUS is started, the ‘Read in type files’ menu item or the ‘Read in GSD files’ menu item from within the ‘file’ menu need be activated only once (see also DP_PRO_D.doc).

Note:

In the case of COM PROFIBUS, these files are already supplied from V3.1

 

onwards.
