Downloading an AMP File from the Host PC to a 9/PC
When you download locally to the 9/PC, no external connections are
required. The download is done across the computer’s PCI buss.
This procedure loads the selected AMP file into the memory of the
9/PC card, then force the 9/PC restart. This restart will either be
manually or automatically, depending on how you configured your
9/PC settings during installation.
1. Select the Download option from the F3–Application menu.
2. Select the Send AMP params option from the F4–Utility menu.
The following message displays:
Please place the control in ESTOP to download
After you press any key, the workstation displays the list of AMP
files for this project.
3. Select or type in an AMP file name. The workstation displays the
message:
Waiting for response on the control

9/PC to verify that it is in E–Stop. The displaying of the message
is often too brief to even be seen under normal operation.
The workstation then displays the message:
Download in progress
Percent transferred xx %
ODS displays the percentage of the file that was already
transferred.
When the download process is complete, ODS displays the
message:
