ADwin-Gold
-Boot
This option is only available in an
ADwin-Gold-ENET
.
ADwin-Gold-Boot
starts a previously programmed application automatically
after power-up. After installation of this application an operation without com-
puter is possible.
With
ADwin-Gold-Boot
the following steps are executed after power-up:
– Loading the operating system
– Loading of the compiled processes, compiled by
ADbasic
(max. 10).
– Automatic starting of the process no. 10. Here you have also to program
the start of all other processes.
Disable boot loader
If you do not wish to work with the boot loader option:
– Boot the system after power-up and the previously saved processes are
disabled.
– After switching off and powering up anew, the boot loader option is
enabled again.
By programming the Flash-EEPROM without processes and only with the file
<ADwin9.btl>
the system will only be booted after power-up, but no pro-
cesses can be executed.
With the installation of the
ADwin
Developer-Software from the supplied
ADwin
CD-ROM, the utility program for the boot loader (ADethfl
1
ash) is auto-
matically copied. You should have a CDROM version 3.00.2735 or a later ver-
sion.
Use the program <
ADethflash.exe
> for an
ADwin-Gold
system with Ether-
net interface.
At standard installation you will find the program in the directory
<C:\ADwin\Tools\Ethernet Interface\…>.
Help for Ethernet
interface
You will find information about the boot loader with Ethernet interface in the
ADwin
Driver Installation manual.
2000 values you can
freely dispose of
In combination with the Ethernet interface and boot loader you can write or read
out 2000 long or float values à 32-bit via
ADbasic
processes into/from the
Flash- EEPROM. A more detailed description can be found in the program
<
ADethflash.exe
> by clicking on
"Info
