4.3.1 Load the operating system
8486
On delivery of the ecomatmobile controller no operating system is normally loaded (LED flashes
green at 5 Hz). Only the boot loader is active in this operating mode. It provides the minimum functions
for loading the operating system (e.g. RS232, CAN).
Normally it is necessary to download the operating system only once. The application program can
then be loaded to the controller (also several times) without influencing the operating system.
Advantage:
The operating system is provided with this documentation on a separate data carrier. In addition, the
current version can be downloaded from the website of ifm electronic gmbh at:
www.ifm.com
> select your country > [Service] > [Download] > [Control systems]
NOTE
The software versions suitable for the selected target must always be used:
operating system (CRnnnn_Vxxyyzz.RESX),
PLC configuration (CRnnnn_Vxx.CFG),
device library (ifm_CRnnnn_Vxxyyzz.LIB )
and the further files ( chapter Overview of the files and libraries used (→ page 236
))
CRnnnn
Vxx: 00...99
yy: 00...99
zz: 00...99
device article number
target version number
release number
patch number
The basic file name (e.g. "CR0401") and the software version number "xx" (e.g. "01") must always have
the same value! Otherwise the device goes to the STOP mode.
The values for "yy" (release number) and "zz" (patch number) do not have to match.
IMPORTANT: the following files must also be loaded:
the internal libraries (created in IEC 1131) required for the project,
the configuration files (*.CFG)
and the target files (*.TRG).
The operating system is transferred to the device using the separate program "Maintenance Tool".
(The downloader is on the ecomatmobile DVD "Software, tools and documentation" or can be
downloaded from ifm's website, if necessary).
Normally the application program is loaded to the device via the programming system. But it can also
be loaded using the "Maintenance Tool" if it was first read from the device upload).
