10. All of the Board’s previous setting should be
retained, but it is always a good idea to be sure
everything remains set as you desire. Check
options and set prices as needed.
11. Store the micro SD card in a safe place.
Note: DEX data will be cleared during this process.
If necessary, perform a DEX read before performing
this upgrade to ensure that you have a continuous
record.
The small program that starts the sequence of loading
the program into the Control Board’s memory, is
known as a boot loader. This can be upgraded in the
same manner as firmware, but prices will NOT be
saved. This firmware is changed only rarely.
8.3 SAVING AND TRANFERRING MACHINE
SETTINGS (CONFIGURATIONS)
A time-saving feature of the Sensit 3 Control Board is
the ability to save and restore the machine settings
that reside in the memory system on each Control
Board. These can be saved to a file on the microSD
card and transferred to another Board.
This is helpful if you are replacing the Control Board
in a certain machine and is especially useful if you are
setting up a number of machines that have the same
number of motors, prices and options settings.
Saving a Configuration File
1. Open the Front Door and leave the machine
turned ON.
2. Locate the socket for the micro SD Card
(Refer to Figure 8.1).
3. Insert the micro SD Card into the socket (it
will only fit one way). Push in until it latches
in place.
4. Press the yellow Mode button. After a few
seconds, three software options will be
shown on the display.
5. Press “2”, to ‘SAVE CONFIG’ . You will be
prompted to ENTER FILE NAME.
6. Use the Keypad to enter a unique filename
that you can remember in the future. The
keypad buttons work like a telephone keypad
– for example the ‘2’ button will cycle through
A,B,C,2,A,B… If you pause after a key entry,
the display will shift one character to the left
and prompt you for the next entry. Press the
“*” button to erase a mistake.
7. Keep the filenames brief (mavimum is 8
characters) for convenience, and press “#” to
Save the file.
8. When the file writing process is complete,
there will be a file on your microSD Card with
the name you entered with a “.cfg”
extension.
The saved file will contain the list of motors as
connected in this machine, along with all prices,
temperature settings and options settings.
Loading a Configuration File
1. Open the Front Door and leave the machine
turned ON.
2. Locate the socket for the micro SD Card
(Refer to Figure 8.1).
3. Insert the micro SD Card into the socket (it
will only fit one way). Push in until it latches
in place or is fully seated.
4. Press the yellow Mode button. After a few
seconds, three software options will scroll on
the display.
5.
Press “1”, to ‘LOAD CONFIG’. If the
microSD Card has any .cfg files, the first
(alphabetically) filename will be displayed.
6. Press the “*” button to scroll through the
filenames until your choice is displayed.
7. Press the “#” button to load the contents of
the displayed file into the Control Board’s
memory.
8. You will be prompted “OVERWRITE S/N ?”.
If you are loading the same configuration to
several different machines, you will want to
retain those unique Serial Numbers and you
should choose NO. If you are replacing a
Control Board, and want to retain the Serial
Number of the board that supplied the
configuration file, choose YES. This is very
important for operations that utilize DEX
reporting.
