This dialog box can list two types of database files:
ƒ

Access-type files with .mdb file formats. These types of files may contain multiple
applications in a single file.

ƒ

Binary file .dat files. These files contain a single application in each file, including a
full set of the controller parameters (as saved in the flash memory), host (PC)
communication parameters and the user program, if one exists.

To open an existing application:
1. Use

the

File Name text box and the Files of Type drop-down list to browse to the

application file that you wish to open. The Communication Info block will display
the host communication parameters that were stored for the selected database file.

2. To change the communication parameters for the selected application, click Change

and select the communication type from the Establish Communication dialog box.

You may select your communication type and further define the exact parameters by
clicking Properties, which displays the RS-232 Properties dialog box (

section

2.3.1

)

or CANopen Properties dialog box (

section

2.3.2

) respectively.

3. Click

Download at the bottom right of the Open Existing Application dialog box to

open the selected application. The Download button will change to Break to enable
you to stop the process if you are working with RS-232 communication. The process
cannot be stopped with CANopen networks.

Note:
If your drive supports a binary format download and you select an .mdb-
type file, the Composer will offer to convert the application to a .dat format.

4. Edit your application as necessary. Save it according to the procedure explained in

section

2.12

.
