INSTALLATION OF
CONTROL SOFTWARE
The control software of the chromatograph must first be
copied onto the control computer. It can then be loaded
as often as required into any number of chromato-
graphs.
Insert the diskette PCPU V50_1 into drive a:, and then
type:
a:install
The installation program is then activated and expects
the following inputs:
Operating language
Colour setting for the screen
Install control software on control unit or load into
chromatograph (Install or Program) or both? Select
Install. If you wish to subsequently load the control
software into a chromatograph, select Both.
Install sequence
Process or laboratory version, select special driver
Source drive for the installation diskettes. The desti-
nation drive is always c:.
The installation program then creates the directories
and copies all required files into the control unit. Fur-
ther diskettes with optional interface drivers may also
be requested.
Program sequence
Prerequisite: ChromLAN must be active on the control
unit, and a contact must exist to a chromatograph. It is
best to start up the operation and to immediately leave
it again.
Select which chromatograph is to be programmed
in the ChromLAN network
Select process or laboratory version
Select interface driver
The control software is then transferred to the chroma-
tograph and programmed into the flash
EPROM
s. This
may take up to two minutes. The program subsequently
signals whether the action was successful.
NOTE:
Once you have installed the control software, you can program
further chromatographs without having to use the control soft-
ware diskette. Type
cd \pcpu-2
install
Important advice
on programming of PCPU-2
It is possible to program locally or via a ChromLAN
network. An interface and a cable connection which
functions correctly together with the control unit are
used in both cases. ChromLAN must be loaded in the
control unit!
The interface functions because standard settings are
used or because meaningful settings have already been
programmed.
If an incorrect drive is programmed for this interface,
no further actions are carried out following programm-
ing! In this case, a meaningful setup must be produced
locally using standard settings. Refer to the section
Problems and errors for detailed information!
CAUTION:
The baud rates for the interfaces SER. 1, 3 and
4 are defined with the configuration. They only
become active when a method is installed. The
interface SER. 1 is set to 9600 baud immedi-
ately following programming, the interfaces
SER. 3 and 4 to 38400 baud.
Our recommendation
Only program the PCPU-2 with the following setups. It
is recommendable to first start up the operation and to
immediately leave it again. ChromLAN is then cor-
rectly installed on the control computer.
Networked with RS485
Interface SER. 3 or SER. 4
Driver 485CLAN3 or 485CLAN4
Transmission rate 38400 baud
Participant number according to switch position on
PCPU-2.
Networked with TTY
Interface SER. 2
Driver TTYCLAN2
Baud rate according to switch 1 on PCPU-2
Participant according to switch position on PCPU-2.
Locally with RS232
Interface SER. 2
Driver UNIDRV2
Baud rate according to switch 1 on PCPU-2
Participant number is 1, independent of switch posi-
tion on PCPU-2.
