• Creation of an SD card

Once.you.have.completed.all.the.configuration.activities,.all.the.information.must.be.downloaded.to.an.SD.card,.which.will.then.be.plugged.into.

the.appropriate.controller..

One SD card must be created for each controller in the system. Each single card will contain the information

relating both to the specific controller and to the rest of the system.

After.making.sure.that.CONTROLLER.0.is.switched.off,.use.a.screwdriver.to.unscrew.the.small.cover.at.the.centre.of.the.rear.panel.and.remove.

it.

Insert.the.SD.into.the.drive.of.the.PC,.then.select.the.CONTROLLER.0.window..From.the.main.menu,.select.

Tools > Create SD

..The.card.will.

be.formatted.and.then.automatically.programmed.with.the.necessary.data.

Once.writing.has.been.completed,.remove.the.SD.card.from.the.PC,.then.plug.it.into.its.slot.in.the.rear.panel.of.CONTROLLER.0..Put.the.cover.

back.into.place.and.fix.it.with.the.screws.removed.earlier.

Repeat.these.operations.for.all.the.other.controllers.(in.the.example,.CONTROLLER.1).

C). Load. the. configuration. files. entered. in. the. controller.

(and. any. messages). into. the. PC.. These. files. will. be.

saved. in. a. dedicated. folder..You. will. be. able. to. open.

this.folder.later.from.the.

File > Load from upload

from.

the.opening.page.of.the.software..To.achieve.complete.

configuration.of.the.system,.simply.load.the.configuration.

from.a.single.controller.plus.the.messages.from.all.the.

controllers.connected..

Note;.

When. the. configuration. is. loaded,. it. is. advisable. to.

delete.the.upload.area.if.requested.by.the.software.
