Controller Programming (Memory) Cards
The programming cards are used for loading software
into the Controller. This is the same concept as using a
floppy diskette to load software into a personal
computer.
The software that can be loaded into the Controller
module comes in one of two forms: “Operational
Software” or “Configuration Software.”
Procedure for loading software:
Refer to section 6.27.1.
Operational Software:
This software operates the Controller module, which
turns fans on and off, turns the compressor on and off,
etc.
Configuration Software:
This software tells the Operational Software what
physical components are built into the container unit.
Refer to Table 3-1.
Programming cards with either Operational Software or
Configuration Software are available through CTD
Replacement Components Group.
The use of a configuration program card in the field
should only occur under unusual circumstances. Some
of these circumstances may include:
a. A Controller module that has an older version of
Operational Software, when the need exists to
upgrade to a newer version of the software.
b. A physical component in the container unit is
changed to a different component, resulting in a
new configuration for the unit.
c. A Controller module was damaged in such a way
that the integrity or existence of software within the
module is questionable.
