10.2 Communication
10.2.1 Upload and Download of Setting Data
In PVWIN, setting data is called Project File. Project files can be downloaded to PV500 (PVWIN to PV500) or
uploaded from PV500 (PV500 to PVWIN).
After downloading a project file from PVWIN to PV500, be sure to save the data in PV500. Turning off the
power of PV500 without saving data removes the downloaded project file from the PV500.
When PV500 is in RUN menu
Operate uploading or downloading from PVWIN. (No need to operate from PV500.)
When executing upload, the currently inspecting data are uploaded.
When executing download, the data are overwritten on the currently inspecting data. After downloading is
complete, inspections will be executed with the setting data of the downloaded project file.
When communication error occurs
When a communication error occurs, the notice is displayed on the screen of PVWIN or PVWIN and PV500.
Execute again after solving the problem described on the message.
When PV500 is in SETUP menu
To upload or download the data in SETUP menu, PV500 requires being in the status where it can communicate
with PC. Other than the status, you cannot upload and download the data.
When executing upload, the data currently loaded on SETUP menu are uploaded. When executing download,
the data are overwritten on the data currently loaded on SETUP menu. Even when PV500 is RUN mode in
SETUP menu, the data are overwritten on the data on the screen and the processing does not affect on the
running data.
