Memory Cartridge Upload
The user program in the MicroSmart CPU module can be uploaded and stored to a memory cartridge installed on the CPU
module. In order to enable user program upload, the memory cartridge has to be configured using WindLDR. When the
configured memory cartridge is installed on the CPU module and the CPU module is powered up, the user program is
uploaded from the CPU module and stored to the memory cartridge.
The configured memory cartridge can upload a user program only once because the user program upload configuration
of the memory cartridge is cleared when the memory cartridge stores the uploaded user program.
Memory cartridge upload can be used on CPU modules with system program version 200 or higher.
Programming WindLDR
1.
Install a memory cartridge on a CPU module. Connect the CPU module to the PC and power up the CPU module.
2.
From the WindLDR menu bar, select
Online
>
Upload
>
Memory Cartridge Upload
.
The Memory Cartridge Upload dialog box appears.
3.
If the user program to upload from the CPU module is read-protected with a pass-
word, click the
Password
button.
The Password Setting dialog box appears. Enter the same password. When finished,
press the
OK
button and return to the Memory Cartridge Upload dialog box.
4.
On the Memory Cartridge Upload dialog box, click the
OK
button to configure the memory cartridge for user program
upload. Then, the user program stored on the memory cartridge is cleared.
5.
Turn off the power to the CPU module and remove the memory cartridge from the CPU module. The memory cartridge has
been configured for user program upload.
6.
Install the memory cartridge to a CPU module of the same type and power up the CPU module. The user program in the
CPU module is uploaded and stored to the memory cartridge.
Notes:
User program writing error occurs and the user program is not uploaded to the memory cartridge, turning on the ERR LED on the CPU
module and stopping the CPU operation in the following cases:
•
If the configured memory cartridge is installed on a different type of CPU module or installed on a CPU module with system program
version lower than 200, user program writing error occurs when the CPU module is powered up. System program version 200 or
higher is needed for configuring memory cartridges and uploading user programs.
•
If the configured memory cartridge is a 32KB memory cartridge (FC4A-PM32) and is installed on a CPU module containing a user pro-
gram of larger than 30,000 bytes, user program writing error occurs when the CPU module is powered up. A 32KB memory cartridge
can upload a user program of 30,000 bytes maximum.
•
If the user program in the CPU module is read-prohibited, the user program cannot be uploaded to the memory cartridge. If the user
program in the CPU module is read-protected and the passwords do not match between the user programs in the memory cartridge
and the CPU module, user program writing error occurs when the CPU module is powered up. For the user program protection, see
page 5-44.
