8 PC software connections
The service port on the CPU allows the 4010ES panel to connect to a PC running utilities, such as diagnostics, programming, CPU firmware
downloading, and channel monitoring.
8.1 Software modes
There are three basic software modes that the service port can be used to connect to:
• Service and Diagnostics Mode
• Data Transfer Interface Mode
• Master Bootloader Interface Mode
Each mode is described below.
Service and Diagnostics Mode:
This is the default functionality when a PC is connected to the FACU. On a PC, this mode provides application startup messages, an ASCII
interface to a UI command set for diagnostics, and event reporting. A pre-configured terminal emulator is part of the 4010ES software and
can be launched from the programmer. The connection to a PC is made through the Ethernet port. If it is not available, the serial port can
be used instead.
Note: Ethernet connection is the preferred connection for service.

Data Transfer Interface Mode:
In this mode, the ES Panel Programmer is used. This allows for slave downloading and uploading a configuration or history log from the
FACU. Connection to a PC is made through the Ethernet port. If it is not available, the serial port can be used instead.

Master Bootloader Interface Mode:
This interface should be used when the Master executable is not functioning. It downloads the CPU Exec firmware and the CFG.TXT file to
the CPU via the serial or the Ethernet port.
