Updating the machine program
The control card of the machine has been designed to use flash technology. This feature
allows you to update the card program. To perform this task you need to manually lift the
machine elevator until you can see the RS-232 connector. Program updating can be
done through a PC or an EasyFlash reprogramming device.
¦
USING A PC
Follow these steps to update the program:
1.-
With the machine turned off, connect the PC to the machine using the RS-232 cable.
2.-
Choose the program to install in flash memory:
•
The program files should be stored in the subdirectory of the hard drive
corresponding to the VISION V3 machine.
•
Run the PC program. Choose the menu option FLASH - RECORD - VISION V3
and choose the *.h00 file.
3.-
Turn the machine on.
4.-
When the program has been updated, a message will appear on the PC screen
indicating that the flash memory has been successfully recorded.

USING THE EASYFLASH REPROGRAMMING DEVICE
Follow these steps to update the program:
1.-
With the machine turned off, connect the EASYFLASH device to the machine using
any of the cables supplied.
2.-
As soon as the program is loaded, it will load the data from the file TYPES.DAT for
the machines with which you wish to communicate.
3.-
The first thing the program requests is the type of operation you wish to carry out.
- Recording a program in flash memory.
- Erasing the card’s flash memory.
- Identifying the program recorded in a card.
4.-
After choosing the operation, you have to select the machine with which you wish to
communicate.
5.-
You need to select the file you are going to record.
-The program can work with two standard reference file formats, .HEX (Intel) and
.BIN. When the program has more than one bank, the file extensions will be .H00,
.H01, .H02 … (or .B00, .B01, .B02 …) and so on until all banks are completed. In
these cases, the program will only show the file of the first bank (.H00 or .B00).
-When you select a file, if the extension is .HEX or .BIN the program will know that
there is only one bank, while if it is .H00 or .B00 it will search for files with
consecutive extensions until it does not find any more (maximum .H09 or .B09) and
the number of files will be the number of banks recorded.
6.-
After all the data has been recognised, the program will begin the operation chosen.
