Copying and restoring the entire parameter set
It is possible to backup and refresh the entire parameter set to a second onboard memory (default memory) or a plug-
in memory. This simplifies substantially the programming of multiple controllers with identical parameter sets.
Removable plug-in memory AEC-PM1
The plug-in memory is an accessory that can be plugged in on the right side of the TCX2. Once connected, the power
LED on the AEC-PM1 lights up. The memory can hold up to 4 individual parameter sets. It is easy for a site engineer to
update a variety of standard installations or for an OEM to program his standard setup based on application.
Auto-load
While copying a parameter set to eeprom, the user may choose the auto-load feature. With this feature set, the
parameters load automatically when powering up the controller. It is thus possible for a non-technical person to
perform a parameter update by simply powering up the controller with the AEC-PM1 plugged in.
Procedure to copy parameter sets
1.
Login to engineering parameters as described above.
2.
Press UP or DOWN until COPY is selected
3.
Press the OPTION key. Select copy source: These are the options:
0.
CLR
The copy destination will be erased
1.
RUN
Run time memory
2.
DFLT
Default: On board backup memory
3.
EEP1
External memory folder 1 on AEC-PM1
4.
EEP2
External memory folder 2 on AEC-PM1
5.
EEP3
External memory folder 3 on AEC-PM1
6.
EEP4
External memory folder 4 on AEC-PM1
4.
Press OPTION key. Now select copy destination: These are the options:
1.
RUN
Run time memory
2.
DFLT
Default: On board backup memory
3.
EEP1
External memory folder 1 on AEC-PM1
4.
EEP2
External memory folder 2 on AEC-PM1
5.
EEP3
External memory folder 3 on AEC-PM1
6.
EEP4
External memory folder 4 on AEC-PM1
5.
Press OPTION key. Your selection is shown on the large digits: source ID to target ID. For example run time
memory to eep1 is shown as 1to3. After confirming the selection, choose YES or AUTO to start the copy
process. Select NO to abort. AUTO s only available if the target is the external plug in. By selecting AUTO:
The parameters will load automatically when the controller is powered up while the AEC-PM1 is plugged in. If
one plug-in has several parameter folders with the AUTO flag set the one with the smallest index will be
loaded.
New Feature for products with a communication plug-in.
Selecting CO15 = 01 will write back an
increased address to the AEC-PM1 after a successful copy. This way it is easier to configure large projects.
6.
Press the OPTION key to conclude the selection. The Data LED on the AEC-PM1 plug-in blinks to indicate data
communication in case it is copied to or from. PEND is shown while the copy process takes place.
There are several possibilities for the result:
Good: The copy process was successful
Fail: Err5, Communication problem. The plug in module is either damaged or missing
Fail: Err6, Checksum mismatch. The checksum of the source data was incorrect. Data corruption.
This may happen if the plug-in has not been written to before or data corruption took place.
