FX16 Master Controller Technical Bulletin 109
LON Card
Use an SLTA or a PCC10 LON interface converter to connect the
computer to the LON card of the FX16.
Use the FX CommPro LON card to download the application. The LON
network profile is also loaded into the LON card.
FX Programming Key (Not for LON Applications)
The Programming Key allows you to download an application to the
FX16 controller. This is convenient when loading multiple controllers
on a construction site or in the factory at the end of the production line.
You can load the FX16 at the press of a button with no need for a
computer, communication card, or converter.
Before you use the Programming Key to load the FX16 controller, you
need to load the FX16 with the appropriate application. You can
download the application via FX Loader (Version 3.1.3 and later) or
upload the application from an already programmed FX16 controller.
Uploading the Application from a Preprogrammed FX16 to
the FX Programming Key
To upload the application from a preprogrammed FX16 to the
Programming Key:
1. Turn off the FX16 controller.
2. Connect the Programming Key to the Remote Display terminals of
the FX16 controller
3. Turn on the FX16 controller. The two LEDs on the Programming
Key blink alternately. This indicates that an operation has to be
selected.
4. Press the Programming Key button to move from upload mode to
download mode and vice-versa (the corresponding LED blinks
quickly). Make sure the green upload LED continues to blink and
then confirm the Uploading action by pressing the button for more
than 3 seconds.
During the uploading process, the LED blinks. When the operation ends
successfully, the blink stops and the green LED remains steady ON. If the
operation fails, the two LEDs blink together.
Note: If parameter values of the source FX16 controller are changed by
the user via display or via computer connection (using FX CommPro),
these changes do not upload to the Programming Key. The application
uploaded contains the parameter defaults saved by FX Builder at design
time. If the same application is required with different parameter
defaults, you must change the parameters and then save them again in
FX Builder.
