Installing the System Program
A special system program must be installed in the PT in order to use the Device-
Net Interface Unit. The system program for the DeviceNet (CompoBus/D) Inter-
face Unit is included with the Unit.
This section explains how to install the system program in the PT. For details on
other operations, refer to the PT’s Setup Manual or the Support Tool’s Operation
Manual. (The NT-series Support Tool must be version 3.2 or higher.)
Reference 1. To install the system program, the system installer software is needed. The
system installer is included with the NT-ZJ3AT1-EV3, ZJCAT1-EV3, and
ZJCAT1-EV4 Support Tool. Install the system installer software when instal-
ling the Support Tool in your personal computer. Refer to the Support Tool’s
Operation Manual for details on installing and using the system installer
software.
2. The PT will be completely unusable if the system program is accidentally
erased. Before deleting the system program, confirm that the Support Tool
is equipped with the system installer software and there is a Memory Unit
containing the system program. However, registered screen data and
memory switch settings are retained.
3. Install the system program for the PT being used (NT31, NT31C, NT631, or
NT631C) that supports the DeviceNet Interface Unit.
4. A PT which has the DeviceNet Interface Unit’s system program installed can
use only the functions of a -V1 version of the NT31/NT31C or
NT631/NT631C PT. Only Memory Link communications can be used with
the host. (The actual communications method is specific to the DeviceNet
Interface Unit, but create screen data for the Memory Link method in the
Support Tool.)
5. The computer and PT must be connected in order to transfer the system
program from the computer to the PT. For details, refer to the PT’s Setup
Manual or the Support Tool’s Operation Manual.
5-1-1 PT Operations
To prepare for the system program download, put the PT in system installer
mode and delete the system program from the PT. An NT31/NT31C PT is used
in these examples, but the steps are the same for an NT631/NT631C.
Reference It isn’t possible to download the system program with the DeviceNet Interface
Unit installed. Before downloading the system program for the DeviceNet Inter-
face Unit, remove the DeviceNet Interface Unit from the PT. (The PT must be
OFF when removing the DeviceNet Interface Unit.)
When installing the system program, either turn ON or reset the PT while press-
ing the touch switch (7.2 mm square) in the upper-left corner of the PT screen.
Turn ON the PT
while pressing here.
Caution
Do not turn OFF or reset the PT while data is being transferred.
