2.6 Firmware and RAM
The Cimjet RFID board supports three different options for machine
control software. The software is stored in two ROMS. These will
either be Flash ROM or EPROM and will be tagged with a “P”
number indicating the software version. The devices will also have a
tag indicating HI or LOW.
CAUTION: These devices are sensitive to static, and care
should be taken not to touch the pins on the
external devices.
These options are as follows:
• On-board Internal Flash ROM
• External (Pluggable) Flash ROM
• External PROMs
These various options require that the appropriate links are set.
See previous pages in this section for the correct configuration.
The devices and the sockets both carry an indent or positioning
mark; these indents should be matched to ensure the devices are
inserted in the correct orientation. Inserting them in the wrong
orientation will damage them.
The on-board and external flash programs can be upgraded to the
latest version by downloading from a PC; the EPROM versions will
require new EPROMs to be fitted.
