You can load the parameters in the 6200 Defaults file by choosing Get
6200 Parameters. You will have to locate the directory path of the 6200
software drivers (by default C:\IPDS\ATTACH\) The directory setting
will be saved as a PanelBuilder default. Then choosing Get 6200 Driver
Parameters will load the parameters from the driver files.
Regardless which method you choose, the final menu item must be
configured, since the Pass-Through Utility is vital to the success of any
download using the Pass-Through feature.
Pass-Through Utility Directory: This field identifies the directory of the
pass-through utility files. By default they are located in C:\PASSTHRU.
IMPORTANT: You must use Pass-Through Utility Version 3.0.1.
If the programming terminal configuration and PanelView Location Data
(addressing) information are correct, you can initiate the download.
1. Choose Download Application File from the Pass-Through
Download to PanelView (DH+ and Remote I/O) menu. A message
will appear, warning you that the addressing information which
locates the PanelView terminal on the network must be correct. If you
are sure of your settings, choose Continue. A further prompt will
display the estimated time for the download—the download will only
commence when you choose Start Downloading.
IMPORTANT: If the file in the terminal is newer than the one on disk,
you will be informed and given a chance to cancel the download.
If the Inhibit bit is set, a message will appear on the status line. You
can cancel the transfer by pressing Esc, or you can wait for the Inhibit
bit to clear.
2. The status line will indicate whether the download is progressing. An
information message will be displayed on the screen when the
download is complete.
When the download is complete, the terminal will return to Run mode
either automatically, or when the operator restarts it, depending on the
terminal’s Auto-Restart configuration. (See
Figure 6.21 .)
IMPORTANT: Do not try to download application files from two
development computers to the same location via the Pass-Through at the
same time. The results of such a conflict are unpredictable. The first
download will be terminated, but the second download may or may not be
completed successfully. An unsuccessful attempt will produce an error
message in both the PanelView terminal and the development computer(s).
