This video demonstrates usage of the Profile UpLoader software to:
-1- compile a profile
-2- upload a profile
-3- and manage your profiles
First a tour.
-1- Channel Selection area - this is where you select which controller you are talking with. For purposes of this demo I'm using software channel #1 which is modbus address #1.
-2- Compile Profile - The profile you created with the PROFILE EDITOR is generic and meant to be able to be compiled to run on any temperature controller. Thus you must compile the profile you created before uploading it to your temperature controller. The COMPILED PROFILE area displays the results of the compilation.
-3- The profile log keeps track of WHAT you have uploaded and WHICH controller you have uploaded it to.
-4- The controller memory area remembers what you have uploaded to the controller. Thus you don't have to repeatedly download it over the slow serial link.
-5- The run state area - this displays the current state of the controller.
To upload a new program to your controller select a profile to be compiled by clicking on FILE > OPEN PROFILE
Then pick a place in controller memory that is open so you do not overwrite anything you want to retain. Don't worry too much because the software warns you about any over write condition. Enter the starting address in the START ADDRESS box and click COMPILE PROFILE. This translates your profile into a version usable with the SET64RS controller.
To upload your freshly compiled profile click on on the UPLOAD PROFILE button. Notice how the profile title is automatically added to the profile log. It is then uploaded to the controller memory which you can confirm by looking at the CONTROLLER PROGRAM MEMORY.
