Configuration Loading
The following items are required in order to load a configuration onto a panel:
•
PC with a serial or USB port
•
Serial Cable or USB Cable
•
UIMA Tool
•
Registered CodeMeter Key
•
FX-2000 Network Configuration Utility V11 or greater
Before loading a configuration job ensure that the PC being used has the FX-2000 Network
Configuration Utility software installed. Plug in the registered CodeMeter key to the PC and
start the Configuration Utility.
If an RS-232 cable is used in conjunction with a serial port to communicate between the panel
and the PC then the correct communications port needs to be set. To set the communications
port open the Network Configuration Utility and select File from the menu bar and select User
Preferences from the drop down menu. A new dialogue box appears. In the drop down box
labelled Serial Port select the port the RS-232 uses to connect to the PC. Press OK to confirm
the selection.
Connect the RS-232 cable or the USB cable to the UIMA then connect the 10-pin head of the
UIMA to the last CPU in the CPU chain that starts from the main board.
Establish a connection between the CPUs in the FACP and the PC. To do this press the
Connect icon in the task bar or navigate from the menu bar to Panel then select Connect from
the drop down menu. Once this connection has been established the configuration can be
loaded onto the panel. To load the active configuration onto the panel select the Send icon in
the task bar or navigate to the menu bar and select Panel then from the drop down menu
select Send Job. Specify which node to send the job to in the dialogue box that appears. Once
the job is verified and sent the software will prompt if you wish to make it the active job on the
panel. Each CPU on the panel can hold up to 3 jobs, if there are already 3 jobs on a CPU one
must first be removed to make room for the new one. To remove one of the 3 jobs stored on a
CPU use the configurator and select Panel from the menu bar. From the drop down menu
select Manage Jobs. Use the new dialogue box to delete one of the jobs.
If a job is not set as the active job from the configuration loading stage it can later be set to be
the active job using the interface on the FACP. To change the active job using the FACP
access the main display on any node or an annunciator for any node in the system. Press the
Menu button and scroll down using the arrow keys to the option titled "11 Choose Config".
Scroll through the available configurations using the arrow keys and confirm a selection by
pressing the Enter button. This will use change the configuration for all the nodes in the
system. To set configurations for individual nodes the Network Configuration Utility must be
used.
