Process Flow
The following is an overview showing the typical steps in programming an ADVANCE System.
Action Description
1. Gather information. Collect hardware and operation details that apply to the new or
changed system configuration.
2. Run the ADVANCE Console.
Software program.
The System Administrator defines all system hardware and sets
all system operating parameters for the system using graphical
interface screens.
3. When completed, save the
configuration database file.
All changes are saved in <filename>.hot.
4. Compile the <filename>.hot file The console program generates a file folder for each system
defined in the configuration. The folders are saved at the
specified file location. Each folder contains a file named
advance.cfg.
5. Connect the programming PC to
the MCU.
The System Administrator attaches an Ethernet crossover cable
from the PC to the MCU.
6. Run Win SCP3 Program. The System Administrator starts the Win SCP3 Program and
opens a session to the MCU. If the system contains more than
one MCU, a different session is opened with each MCU.
Multiple sessions can be open at the same time.
7. View the hard drive contents of
the MCU.
Navigate to the root/home/advance directory on the MCU.
This is where the configuration file must be saved.
8. On the programming PC,
navigate to the folder containing
the new configuration file
(created above).
Navigate to the directory created by the ADVANCE Console
program. This is where the new configuration file is saved.
9. Either rename or delete the
existing advance.cfg file on the
MCU.
The System Administrator removes the advance.cfg file from
the MCU hard drive. It can be also saved as an archive in case
of a problem with the new configuration.
10. Copy configuration file onto the
MCU hard drive.
The System Administrator copies the advance.cfg file to MCU.
11. The system will automatically re-
start and execute the new system
configuration.
