AutoMax Programming Executive Version 3.x

operating system(s) to be loaded at 19200 baud. If the leftmost

Processor in the rack is a M/N 57C430A or M/N 57C431, the

operating system(s) will be loaded at 9600 baud. At 9600 baud, it will

require approximately two minutes to load each operating system to

the Processors in the rack. If there are 6010/6011 and 7010

Processors in the same rack, it will take approximately twice as long

as it would if there were only one type of Processor in the rack. The

UDC operating system requires approximately four minutes to load to

each UDC module in the rack.
What to Do Next
After loading the appropriate operating systems to the rack following

the instructions below, you would normally load compiled application

tasks and (optionally) UDC drive parameters to the rack. See section

14.3 for more information.

5.4.3.1

Procedure for Loading All Operating Systems to the Rack
The flowchart in figure 5.15 illustrates the options you have when

loading the AutoMax operating systems and UDC operating systems

(if DPS drive software has been installed). Before loading the

operating system(s), review this flowchart carefully.
Use the steps that follow to initiate the Load Operating Systems

procedure.
Step 1.

If you have not already done so, turn on the personal

computer and run the AutoMax Programming Executive

by typing
AUTOMAX3

Step 2.

Turn on power to the rack. Note that if the AutoMax

Processors in the rack do not have an operating system,

the leftmost AutoMax Processor module in the rack will

display the letters L" and O" (reading top to bottom).

This code prompts you to load the operating system.

Because Processor modules have onboard battery

backup, you will need to load the operating system only

when enhancements become available, when you change

the password for the rack using the PWOS.EXE utility

described in 9.2.1, or when a Processor module in the

rack is replaced.

Step 3.

Connect the personal computer to the leftmost AutoMax

Processor in the rack, following the directions in

section 3.4.

Step 4.

Select the system for which you want to load operating

system(s).

Step 5.

Select Load OS Single Rack from the Commands menu.

You will see the following message.

Connect cable to processor. Depress ENTER key when

ready, ESC key to abort.

Step 6.

Press ENTER.

The Programming Executive will establish communication with the

local rack and will determine the type(s) of AutoMax Processors in

the rack. It will also determine whether operating systems are

currently loaded to the Processors in the rack.
