"Loader" is activated again. After connection of a slave the address, the I/O code and the ID code of the slave can be read by pressing <Read/On>

The addressing unit must not be connected to an existing AS-i network since the AS-i voltage required for programming is generated by the addressing unit itself. If a slave with a mechanical addressing socket is used, the addressing plug is inserted to separate from the AS-interface. The I/O code is indicated as follows: After approx. two seconds the ID code is shown. If the connected slave is a slave of the version 2.0, the address is indicated with one or two digits and the ID code with one digit. If the connected slave is a slave of the version 2.1 with extended addressing mode, the address and whether it is an A or B slave are indicated. Beside the ID code the "extended ID code 1" and the extended ID code 2 are shown. ID code extended ID code 1 extended ID code 2During the manufacturing process the ID code and the extended ID code 2 are permanently stored in the slave and can only be read out. However, the "extended ID code 1“ can be changed. In the display the read or set address flashes. By pressing

the address can be incremented or decremented. By a prolonged pressing of

the address is automatically counted up or down. If as ID code "A" has been read (extended addressing mode), the address can be set as follows: 0, 1a, 1b, 2a, 2b, .., 31a, 31b. By pressing <Mode> the cursor moves to the line of the ID code and the character for the extended ID code 1 flashes. The flashing extended ID code 1 can now also be incremented or decremented by pressing

With the <Mode> function the selection of the loader function is activated again.5.2.1 Project transfer from a PC to the storage card With this function a PLC program including AS-i projection is stored from the PC on the card using the software ecolog asi system. To do so, the serial PC interface (COM1 or COM2) must be connected to the interface " Program loading connector " of the addressing and program loading unit with a null modem cable. To be able to transfer a program from the software ecolog asi system the user must first log into the addressing and program loading unit via the menu point "Online/Login" after selection of the loader function "PC=>Card" and pressing <Write/Set> . After login the projections are compared. To do so, the projection must be loaded to the card by confirming the question "The projections in PLC and PC are different! Which projection should be taken?" with "Download to PLC" In this case the program loading unit serves as a "PLC". The program is then loaded on the card, i.e. the question "No program on the controller! Download the new program?" must be confirmed with "Ja" (yes) After loading the AS-i projection and the PLC program the communication with asisys is interrupted. If the question "No program on the controller! Download the new program?" is confirmed with "Nein" (no) the eASi tool remains logged in. In the configuration window (selection via the menu point "Window/PLC Configuration") the submenu "Bin. Download" is then available under the menu point "Extras" to transfer a program from the hard disk or a diskette to the storage card.If the loader function "PC=>Card“ has been selected and confirmed by pressing <Write/Set> and a storage card is in its location, the device first checks whether the storage card is empty to avoid clearing the card inadvertently. If it is not empty, the message "Card full" is indicated for approx. 3 s and then the loader function "Clear" (see section 5.2.4) is activated. If it is necessary, the inserted storage card can be cleared. ... 3 s ... If the storage card is empty, " PC=> Card Wait.. “ is displayed. The loader is now ready for downloading the PLC program and the related AS-i projection to the addressing and program loading unit.After starting download in the ecolog asi system (after "Login" or after selection of the configuration window, menu point "Extras/Bin. Download") the display changes over to

PC=> Card ASi .... " as long as the related AS-i projection is being transferred. After the transfer of the AS-i projection the program is transferred from the PC to the storage card. This is indicated with the message " PC=> Card PLC .... “ as long as the program is being transferred. After a successful download "PC=>Card ok ...." is displayed for approx. 3 s. Then the selection of the loader function is activated again. It is not possible to transfer only the projection since the actual transfer of the projection does not start before the program transfer. ... 3 s ... By pressing < Mode > the operating mode addressing unit is activated again.5.2.2 Project transfer from the storage card to the PC With this function a PLC program including AS-i projection is loaded from the storage card to the PC and then stored using the software ecolog asi system.

To transfer a program from the storage card to the software ecolog asi system, the user must first log into the addressing and programming loading unit via the menu point "Online/Login" after selection of the loader function "Card=>PC" and pressing <Write/Set>

To do so, a "dummy program" must be created because otherwise logging into the controller is rejected with the message "The project must be correct for login" In the window "Messages" the following message is indicated: "Error: Project must contain a POU named PLC_PRG (main routine)" To create the dummy program insert a POU type "program" named "PLC_PRG" via the menu point "Project/Add object". To ensure that this POU is accepted by the compiler of the ecolog asi system there must be at least one instruction. In IL this instruction can for example be "LD 0" or in FBD "TRUE". After creation of the dummy program the user can connect to the program loading unit as usual via the menu point "Online/Login". After login the projections are compared. To do so, the message "The projections in PLC and PC are different! Which projection should be taken?" must be confirmed with "Download from PLC" The following question "No program on the controller! Download the new program?" must be confirmed with "Nein" (no) to keep the program loading unit logged in. In the configuration window (selection via the menu point "Window/PLC configuration") the submenu "Bin Upload" is available under the menu point "Extras". The projection indicated in the ecolog asi system now corresponds to the current projection stored on the card.If the loader function "Card=>PC" has been selected by pressing <Write/Set> and a storage card is in its location, the device first checks whether a program is on the storage card. If there is no program, the message "Card empty" is shown for approx. 3 s and then the selection of the loader function "Function Loader"
