UDP Transfer Procedure
UDP XFER (RX)
This is the transfer of either a language or a configuration file from the host computer to the Drive. The drive automatically detects whether the file is a
language file or a configuration file. Transferring a configuration file to the drive will over-write all the drive’s settings.
1. Connect the Drive to the host using the appropriate lead.
2. Using a standard communications package prepare the host to transfer an ASCII file. Remember to set-up the host's serial port first.
3. Start the transfer on the Drive by selecting UDP XFER (RX) on the MMI and pressing the UP (↑) key, as instructed.
4. When the Drive says RECEIVING, begin the file transmission.
5. The Drive automatically terminates the UDP transfer when it detects the end of the Intel Hex end-of-file record.
UDP XFER (TX)
This is the transfer of the drive’s settings as an Intel Hex file.
1. Connect the Drive to the host using the appropriate lead.
2. Using a standard communications package prepare the host to receive an ASCII file. Remember to set up the host's serial port first.
3. On the host computer, direct data received on the serial comms port to a file.
4. Start the transfer on the Drive by selecting UDP XFER (TX) on the MMI and pressing the UP (↑) key, as instructed. The drive says
SENDING.
5. When the transfer is finished, terminate the capture of serial data on the host computer.
