5.7 Module Restoration
There are two simple ways to restore all the program files associated with a
MVI56-BAS application. The first method assumes that your computer has
access to a Compact Flash card reader/writer. The second method assumes that
you do not have access to a Compact Flash card reader/writer and is more
complicated. Both methods assume that you have previously backed up a
functioning BAS module application.
5.7.1 Restoration with a Compact Flash Card Reader
Restoration of an MVI56-BAS application with a Compact flash card reader/writer
is simple. Remove the Compact flash from the BAS module. Place the Compact
flash in your reader/writer. Using your computer, copy the backed up version of
the following three files over the files on the Compact flash:
XRAM.BAS
BATTERY.BAS
EPROM.BAS
These three files contain all the information needed to duplicate your application.
These three files do not contain the dynamic battery backed data stored during
program execution.
5.7.2 Restoration without a Compact flash Card Reader
There are three files on the Compact flash which contain all the information
needed to restore your application on another BAS module:
XRAM.BAS
BATTERY.BAS
EPROM.BAS
These files should never be edited. Follow the following steps to restore the files
on another BAS module.
Step 1
Remove the module from the rack and place the setup jumper ON.
Step 2
Connect the ASCII Terminal software to PRT1 (19200,N,8,1) and apply power to
the BAS module. When the sign-on message is displayed, enter the EXIT
command at the Ready prompt. This will stop the BASIC execution and enter
DOS.
Step 3
Change the ASCII cable from PRT1 to the DH-485 port (COM0).
Step 4
Change to the Compact flash drive by typing "C:" at the DOS prompt. Then run
the RY program by entering RY:
