acceptable part program files for download by the link software and will be viewed at the control.

The Settings setup parameter allows the user to configure the link to allow the Auto Reload (M65)
feature to be enabled and recognized during communication. Additionally, the user may also select
to communicate to multiple controls using the Multi Drop feature and configure it for use.
Test
The Test feature is used to test the operation of the selected communications port. To test, simply
connect the transmit and receive signals on the selected communications port by inserting a paper
clip and click on the desired port to test. The status of the test will be displayed in the lower left

Files
The Files setup parameter allows the user to indicate which file extensions will be recognized as
acceptable part program files for download by the link software and will be viewed at the control.
Once a file has been successfully saved on the control, it is assigned the “txt” file extension for use
internally on the control. The operator must be aware of this as part programs with the same
name, but different file extensions, will be overwritten during multiple file downloads. A
warning will be displayed at the control prior to a file being overwritten. Care must be taken when
downloading.
The list of acceptable part program types is listed in the lower half of the of the Files option box. The
checkmark (
√ ) before the file extension indicates which selected file type will be displayed at the
control. Please note that the checkmark ( √ ) in the file extension listing also indicates the file
extension which will be placed on a part program when uploading a file to the host.
