5. Uploading Crane Software Using SD Card
The crane software can be uploaded into the CPU of the RCI-4100 Control Unit using the SD card.
Figure 12 - RCI-4100 Control Unit board showing the SD card slot
During normal operation, the system reads and processes data from the CPU and not from the SD
card. The SD card is only used to upload new crane data or changes in the crane data.
The crane software is a *.HEX file copied into the SD card either from the factory at the time of supply
or sent via email. The emailed crane software can be copied into the SD card using a PC.
On system boot up, the system reads the SD card (if present) and compares two parameters as
follows:
•
Software Version Number
•
Crane Model
If both the Software Version Number AND Crane Model on the SD card are different from the ones in
the CPU, then the system will upload the new crane data from the SD card, and will prompt the user to
“clear calibration data”. A recalibration of the system will be required.
If only the Software Version Number is different but the Crane Model is the same, then the system will
upload the new crane data from the SD card, but will NOT prompt the user to “clear calibration data”.
A recalibration will NOT be required.
If the Software Version Number is the SAME as the one in the CPU, then the system will NOT upload
data from the SD card. In some cases where changes are made on the crane software with the SAME
Software Version Number, the changes can still be uploaded but will first require clearing existing data
from the controller PCB by loading a “dummy” software (file name:
4100_controller_dummy_c999.hex), then the new software. The dummy software is a data eraser
which, when uploaded, will clear the existing controller CPU software.
Procedure to load dummy software then new crane software:
•
Remove power from the RCI-4100 system.
•
Delete all files from an SD card and copy the “4100_controller_dummy_c999.hex” file onto
the SD card.
•
Insert this SD card into the controller and apply power to the RCI-4100 system. The display
will then prompt the user to clear the data and also logger contents. Turn the over-ride key
switch on and keep pressing the ENTER key until the display boots up and a normal
operating screen appears.
•
Remove power from the RCI-4100 system and remove the SD card. Delete the
“4100_controller_dummy_c999.hex” file from the SD card. Copy the new “.hex” file onto the
SD card.
•
Insert this SD card into the controller and apply power to the RCI-4100 system. The display
will again prompt the user to clear the data and logger contents. Ensure the over-ride key
