The following prompt appears:
X Click “Yes”.
The following dialog appears briefly:
The boot project has been created when this dialog automatically
disappears again. You can now restart the PLC.
Storing the boot project on a memory card
The boot project stored in the system memory (Flash) can also be
stored on the memory card. This is done by calling the browser
command “copyprojtommc” in online mode or by choosing
PROGRAM l BOOT PROJECT l FLASH l CARD from the main
menu of the controller using the operating buttons.
Boot project and operating system (OS) on memory card
The boot project will only run with the actual operating system
(OS) on which it was created!
If you fit the memory card with an OS into the controller, the OS of
the controller will be updated after startup and a boot project will
be loaded into the controller. If the boot project was not created
with the OS, it will not be detected by the controller. In this case,
load the program and create a new boot project.
Deleting the boot project
The browser command “Remove” deletes both the boot project in
the system memory (Flash) and also on the memory card. The
browser command “removeprojfrommmc” deletes the boot
project and the Startup.INI file on the memory card. The boot
project on the memory card can also be deleted via the menu of
the controller: PROGRAM l DELETE l DELETE CARD.
Downloading/updating the operating system
The EC4-200 enables you to replace the currently stored operating
system (OS) with a more recent version. The latest OS version can
be downloaded from the Moeller website at http://
www.moeller.net/support. The latest OS is also provided in the
latest “easy Soft CoDeSys” CD.
The OS can then be transferred in two ways:
• Directly from the PC to the PLC.
• From the PC to the memory card. When the controller is started,
the OS is copied from the MMC into the controller.
Transferring the operating system from the PC to PLC
X Open a project, choose ‹Resources ll PLC Configurator› and
activate the “Common Parameters” tab.
X Click the “Start” button in the “Update operating system” field.
The Download operating system dialog opens.
The system reports that the COM port is not initialised.
X Click the “OS-File button” and select the required operating
system file (*.hex).
