Generator Network Status
This screen (Figure 4-98) displays the detected sequencing IDs of the LSM-2020’s on the network. This
can only be accomplished when an optional LSM-2020 (Load Share Module) is connected to the DGC-
2020 and actively communicating to the generator network. The Options button is used to copy or save
the list of sequencing IDs. The Download button refreshes the list of sequencing IDs.

UPDATING BESTCOMSPlus SOFTWARE
Future enhancements to DGC-2020 functionality may make firmware updates desirable. Enhancements
to DGC-2020 firmware typically coincide with enhancements to the DGC-2020 plug-in for
BESTCOMSPlus. When a DGC-2020 is updated with the latest version of firmware, the latest version of
the DGC-2020 plug-in for BESTCOMSPlus should also be obtained.
If you obtained a CD-ROM containing firmware from Basler Electric, then that CD-ROM will also contain
the corresponding version of the DGC-2020 plug-in with BESTCOMSPlus software. The DGC-2020 plug-
in with BESTCOMSPlus can also be downloaded from the Basler Electric website
(
http://www.basler.com ). An outline form can be completed to obtain a password for downloading the
software from the Basler Electric web site. BESTCOMSPlus also has a built in tool that will check for
program updates if you are connected to the World Wide Web. The Check for Updates tool is located in
the Tools drop-down menu.
CONVERTING SETTINGS FILES
A settings file conversion is required when DGC-2020 firmware has been changed. To make the settings
file compatible with the firmware, perform the following:
1. Using BESTCOMSPlus, open the settings file to be converted from the top menu bar via File,
Open. Do not connect to the DGC-2020 at this time.
2. Working offline, use the Settings Explorer to open the Device Info screen. Click on the pull-down
menu under Application Version and select the version of firmware that the DGC-2020 holds.
3. Use the Settings Explorer to open the BESTlogic+ Programmable Logic screen. Verify that the
three status LEDs located in the lower right corner are green indicating that the logic is ready to
be saved to a file. If all three status LEDs are not green, click on the Save button located on the
BESTlogic+ toolbar, correct any logic diagram errors, and then click Save again. Note that this
step saves the logic in BESTCOMSPlus memory, not to a file.
4. It is recommended to save the old settings file. From the top menu bar select File, Save As, and
enter a name for the new settings file.
5. Connect to the DGC-2020 and upload the new settings file.
