Software modules for the device
(
On delivery, there is normally no runtime system loaded in the controller (LED flashes green at 5 Hz).
Only the bootloader is active in this operating mode. It provides the minimum functions for loading the
runtime system, among others support of the interfaces (e.g. CAN).
Normally it is necessary to download the runtime system only once. Then, the application program can
be loaded into the controller (also repeatedly) without affecting the runtime system.
The runtime system is provided with this documentation on a separate data carrier. In addition, the
current version can be downloaded from the website of
