WARNING
The key must not be plugged out while data is being written on it. The file being transferred may be lost and
the corresponding space is not restored. To restore the initial capacity, all the files must be fully deleted.
With a type "C" key, it is enough to carry out a new read cycle.
3.5 Programming using the pCO Manager
The controller board may be programmed using the pCO Manager. This piece of software, which is supplied
free of charge by Carel, is designed to interface a personal computer and the controller board using a USB, a-
b type cable, if the board is provided with a USB Slave port, a USB-RS485 converter or a USB pLAN converter.
Refer to the instruction manual for pCO Manager operation for additional information.
3.6 Programming using a USB pen drive
Controllers supplied with a USB Host (master) port can be programmed using a USB pen drive and the
controller display.
A USB pen drive must be available, containing at least the following files:
application file in binary format (.bin);
file containing the languages to be uploaded in .iup format (at least one language is mandatory).
Additionally, we firmly recommend (although it is not mandatory) to upload the following files too:
file containing the unit parameters in .dev format. This file needs to be uploaded to set up the unit
parameters without entering the values manually;
file for log creation; file containing public variables in .pvt format and log configuration file in .lct format;
BIOS relating to the board in binary format (.bin) - only when the board BIOS requires updating.
We also do recommend (although it is not mandatory) updating the board BIOS when the
existing BIOS version is obsolete with respect to the new board supplied with the
software.
BIOS does not require updating if the BIOS version in the board is aligned or is more
recent than the software version. Refer to the information above to verify the BIOS
version of your board.
The USB pen drive cannot be used to update the board BOOT. This operation needs to be performed following
one of the procedures described above.
All files must be stored in the same directory.
