In case another program (e. g. SYCON.net) is accessing the netRAPID
at the same time during download, the following warning is displayed:
Figure 49: Device still accessed warning
In this case, close the other program and repeat steps 10 and 11.
On the Evaluation Board, the downloaded and running firmware is
indicated by a steady green
SYS
LED (see position ). If you have
downloaded a PROFIBUS DP slave firmware, the
V12
(COM 0) LED
(see position ) is blinking red acyclically, indicating that the
PROFIBUS configuration is missing.
Note:
If you also want to download a configuration file, click
Add
button
in the
Assigned Configuration Files
area to select the configuration file
(
*.nxd
), then click
Apply
button to activate the download of the
configuration file.
Enabling/disabling the NXPCA-PCI driver after firmware download
If you want to continue accessing the netRAPID from your PC via PCI
interface after firmware download (i. e. for configuration or testing the IO
data exchange), you again have to enable/disable the
NXPCA-PCI
driver
in the
Device Manager
of your PC. This is because the Dual-Port Memory
of the netRAPID has been changed by the firmware now running on the
device.
For details on how to enable/disable the NXPCA-PCI driver, see step 6.
