To create a program file:
1. At the PICO controller, create a blank TXT file as follows:
a. Insert an SD card into the SD card slot on the front of the PICO controller in the correct orientation (see the
symbol on the controller).
b. Select DOWN-/UPLOAD > UPLOAD.
c. Choose the root directory, “.”
A file named “PDA2_Default.txt” is created on the SD card.
NOTE:
A blank TXT file template that can be edited on a PC is available on the provided SD card. You can use this
file as an alternative to creating a blank TXT file at the PICO controller.
2. Remove the SD card and transfer the program file to a PC.
3. On the PC, use Microsoft Notepad to open the TXT file. For correct representation of the TXT file, use the
following settings:
• Page Setup: landscape
• Font: Lucida Console
• Font Style: Regular
• Font Size 10, Western scripts
4. Fill the program file with parameters. Refer to the following sections for detailed information:
• “Control Programs” on page 38
• “Characteristics of a Control Program” on page 40
• “Program Examples” on page 41
5. When the program file is complete, continue to the next procedure to transfer it via SD card to the PICO
controller.
To transfer a program file to the PICO controller:
1. Insert the SD card that is loaded with the control program you want to transfer into the SD card slot on the front
of the PICO controller in the correct orientation (see the symbol on the controller).
2. From the Main Menu, select Down-/Upload > Download and then select the file to be downloaded.
3. Press Enter.
If “Download Successful” appears after this step, all parts of the *.txt control program were properly transferred to
the PICO controller.
