Appendix 3 Uploading a TDB program from the Data Manager
It is possible to upload and download the tdb program to and from the controller when it is logged on to a Data Manager. The two methods,
detailed for logging the controller on within the Network configuration section, are by using the Data Manager’s dhcp capabilities or manually
assign a static IP address and add it from within the DM’s menus.
With no tdb application loaded, the controller automatically logs on using the dhcp server showing the device name as per the rotary switch ID
(e.g. 222
) it has associated to it. It will show in the device list with the alias; “Mercury 2 TDB: No Program” and the corresponding control state
will show “No Program”.
Note
– Only software version 1.9 and above will allow the controller to log on to a Data Manager without a tdb app.
Uploading via the Data Manager
Once the device is listed within the Data Manager it can now have the tdb program sent to it.
To send the program, through the Data Manager, the plc program written for the Mercury TDB must be saved as a binary TDB program
(.btdb).
Within the Data Manager’s web pages, navigate to; Service, Devices, Mercury TDB.
This page will show you a list of all Mercury TDB controllers logged on to the Data Manager;
Ensure the correct device is recognised as the one you wish the program to be sent. Within the ‘Mercury Password’ field enter the password for
the controller (default is 1234)
, then click on the ‘Send’ button. From here you can select ‘choose file’, then navigate to the location of your saved
tdb program and select it to be sent. Then click ‘Upload’. The program will be sent to the controller.
Note
– when uploading a new/ amended program it is always advisable to ‘Default’ all parameters. This will take out all values previously
entered into the program from the Data Manager or Controller web pages.
Downloading via the Data Manager
Similarly to the uploading of the program, from the same menu, pict
ured above, select the ‘Get’ button. This will allow the current program to be
saved to your local machine.
