6 Menu Structure, Programming and Adjustments
The CXC menu structure (Figure 25) consists of two basic components: Menu Categories and Sub-Menu Items.
This chapter describes each of the CXC’s menu items, including alarms, controls and configuration items. They
are arranged, as they would appear in the touch screen menus subject to product enhancements.
NOTE: Items specific to the CXC web interface will be indicated separately.
6.1 System Info
This menu category consists of Factory, Site and System data. Information pertaining to the CXC, the related site
and system may be accessed here. The Supervisor can set parameters; such as, system number (Figure 28),
system serial number, and temperature display units (Figure 29).
For the web interface, this section has been divided and expanded for the associated menus/pages into
“System” and “Controller.” See Figure 20 (sample home page).
The System page still allows the Contact and System Information to be configured, the Voltage
Mode to be selected, the Firmware to be upgraded, and the ADIO Module Number to be set.
See the following sections 6.1.1 through 6.1.4.
The Controller page allows the Date & Time (4.8), and Temperature Units (6.1.6) to be set, and
the Factory Information is displayed (6.1.7). In addition, the menu links are located here to
upgrade the Bootloader and Software. A remote reset of the CXC may also be commanded via
a link on this page.
NOTE: Bootloader is the program that the CXC starts up with first and then it loads the
Cordex operating system (similar to DOS); therefore, when upgrading the Cordex
software, the bootloader should be installed after the new operating system.
6.1.1 System Configuration
This menu item enables the Supervisor to select the system voltage. Use pull-down menu to make selection.
CAUTION
This item effects all system settings that pertain to the system voltage including LVD levels.
6.1.2 CAN Device Firmware (FW) Upgrade [CX Series only]
This menu item enables the Supervisor to select, transfer and upgrade firmware for the CAN-enabled system
devices; such as, Shunt Multiplexer (MUX) or CXRC rectifier shown in the following example:
1. Select Load From Device to see a list of Acquired Devices (or select the X icon to
cancel entry and close window).
2. Select device from list. Get Firmware will produce a message window prompting to
accept (or cancel).
3. Select Accept to proceed with firmware transfer. Select the X icon (in the message
window) when transfer is complete.
4. Select Use Firmware to see a list of Upgrade Devices (or select the X icon to cancel
entry and close window).
5. Use the check box to select/deselect device from list. Perform Upgrade will produce a
message window prompting to accept (or cancel).
6. Select Accept to proceed with firmware upgrade. Rectifier LEDs will flash in
sequence to indicate data transfer. Select the X icon when upgrade is complete.
