Programming the Smart Key via Personal Computer
The operating modes described in the table below can be confi gured
using a program on the PC. The program can also load the software to the
key or transfer logged data from the controller to disk.
Type Function Mode button
B
Update software from key to pCO
(BIOS, application, parameters, etc.)
Disabled
C*
Copy software from pCO to pCO
(BIOS, application, parameters, etc.)
Switches the key from write
mode to read mode
D Read logs Disabled
E
Read logged data and software from
pCO (BIOS, application, parameters,
etc.)
Disabled
F Read logged data Disabled
G Copy from pCO to pCO and read logs
Switches the key to write
mode, read mode and read
logs mode
*: Default mode
The key is factory-programmed in read/write mode (type C) so that it can
be used immediately to transfer software from one controller to another.
When the key is connected to the personal computer, the symbols have
the following meanings:
Flashing Waiting for connection to PC
Alternating When connected to PC indicates data transfer in
progress
The programming key is compatible starting from BIOS version 3.43 and
BOOT version 3.01. For more detailed information on programming the
key, see the pCO Manager program manual.
Using the Smart Key with the pCO
Switch off the pCO, remove any peripherals connected in the pLAN
and plug the key into the telephone connector on the controller. When
switching on again, all the symbols light up momentarily and the buzzer
emits a beep. A few seconds later the key becomes operational. During
this period the symbols
will fl ash. The controller then enters
programming mode and the start button lights up steadily. Press the
button to start data transfer.
Important: If the key is type B, C or G (in write mode) pressing the
start button will immediately delete the software already loaded on the
pCO.
Important: Do not remove the key while data is being transferred
to the key itself, as the fi le being transferred will be lost and the
corresponding space will not be restored. To restore the original capacity
all the fi les will need to be deleted. If the key is type “C” or “G”, simply
perform a new application read operation.
Meanings of Buttons/Symbols
Flashing: The key is connecting to the pCO. During this phase,
which may last a few seconds, the start button is disabled.
start Flashing: The key has detected the pCO and is checking the
access rights.
start +
On steady: Pressing the start button will start writing the
software to the pCO.
start +
On steady: Pressing the start button will start reading the
software from the pCO.
start +
On steady: Pressing the start button will start reading the logs
from the pCO.
mode
On steady: In case of C or G keys, pressing the button for 1
second switches from read to write.
Tab. 9.a
If the key is type C of G, pressing the “mode” button for 1 second switches
from read to read logs (G only) or to write. The symbols
(write to pCO),
(read from pCO), (read logs) refl ect the selected status. If the key
is not type “C” or “G”, the “mode” button is disabled and off . The
“start” button starts the read or write operation, indicated by the fl ashing
of the corresponding symbol (
or
) at a frequency proportional to
the progress of the operation.
When the operation is completed, the buzzer will sound intermittently
for 2 seconds. Pressing the “start” button again will make the buzzer
sound without repeating the operation. To repeat the operation, the key
must fi rst be unplugged. In case of error the symbol will light up together
with the other LEDs. The following table can help you fi nd the cause of
the problem.
