Figure 50 . A USB memory device in the data port
USB memory device
The CL-7 control has a USB Drive (type A) data port located
in the front of the control. This port allows the operator to
import settings into the control or to save settings and data
from the control. Also, firmware upgrades can be loaded
using a USB memory device. Firmware is the software
resident in the control that provides processing algorithms
and functionality to the hardware. Firmware upgrades are
supplied by the factory periodically to add control features
and improve functions.
USB memory devices are readily available; any USB
memory device will work that is USB 2.0 compatible, is
formatted with the FAT32 file system, and has at least 250
MB free space.
Using the USB memory device inserted into the Data Port,
the operator has the ability to easily transfer information
to and from the control. When the USB memory device is
properly seated and ready for use, the green LED above the
port will illuminate. To properly remove the device, use FC
953 and wait until the green LED goes out.
If a USB device is not inserted and one of the USB
functions is accessed, an error message (USB NOT
CONNECTED) will appear on the display.
USB memory drive functions
Save all data, FC 950
The Save All Data function saves all of the data within the
control (metering data, settings, configuration, etc.) in a
file. The default name of the data file will be xxxxxALL.cl7
where the xxxxx corresponds to the control identification
number found at FC 40. The name of the file can be
modified as desired using the keypad.
EXAMPLE : 12345ALL.cl7
To use the function, insert a USB memory device, access
FC 950 and press
ENTER
. The control LCD will display the
default file name and the word (CONFIRM). The file name
can be edited at this time. Press
ENTER
again to confirm
and the save the file using the name displayed. While
data is being saved, the LCD will display (SAVING...), and
the control will write the data to a file on the device. If a
file already exists on the memory device with the same
name, the words (REPLACE FILE) will display; press the
ENTER
key to confirm saving over the existing file. Upon
completion, the control will display (OK TO REMOVE)
indicating that it is safe to remove the card without
compromising the data. The green LED above the data port
will also go out when it is safe to remove the device.
If the command is completed with errors, a (SAVE FAILED)
message is displayed on the fourth line of the LCD. If the
command is in progress and is aborted via the ESC key, a
(CANCEL COMPLETED) message is displayed on the fourth
line of the LCD.
Saving configuration settings, FC 950
There are several options available at FC 950 for saving
configuration settings. The options can be access by
entering the FC 950 parameter and then scrolling through
the options using the up and down arrows on the keypad.
The options that exist are:
●
●
Custom and Standard All – Save all settings.
●
●
Custom and Standard Basic - Save the basic control
operation and configuration settings only.
●
●
Custom and Standard Alt – Save the Alternate
Configuration Settings only.
●
●
Custom and Standard Adv – Save the Advanced Features
settings only.
●
●
Custom and Standard Comm – Save the communications
settings only.
When the save option is used, a file will be created with the
suffix .cl7. The designation ALL, BAS, ALT, ADV and COM
will also be added as a default to the settings file name
before the .cl7 suffix. It is recommended to keep these
designations in place so that the types of setting contained
in the file can be identified.
The only difference between custom and standard settings
files is that the default name of the file created will contain
either the control identification number found at FC 40 or the
word "Standard" respectively. When using the custom saving
options, the control also allows for editing of the file name.
EXAMPLES: 12345ALL.cl7
StandardBAS.cl7
To use the function, insert a USB memory device, access
FC 950 and press the down arrow key to scroll through the
save options. Press
ENTER
; this will bring up the default file
name with the message (CONFIRM) on the bottom of the
screen. For the custom save options, modify the file name
if desired. Press
ENTER
to confirm. The LCD will display
