The CF card can fail, which is effectively the windows operating system. The CF card has a very small capacity, so needs to be created from an image. This TB outlines the steps in the process to ensure a successful conclusion. 1.      Create a new CF card at stuga using the beckhoff imaging tool on a CX5020 2.      Boot up with the CX5020 3.      Ensure PLC is set to Enable on start-up (default is config mode) 4.      Rename the PC 5.      Install TeamViewer host v10 or less from a USB stick 6.      If you have a copy of the version of winMulti it was running, copy this in to the c:\ multi folder. If not, a “'''''new version install'''''” will be needed so copy in data from the g:\builds\PC Installs\Autoflow\Multi folder 7.      Set up and customer specific network parameters to ensure TeamViewer will work when it is plugged in on site 8.      Send to customer Once on site, follow procedure A if the winMulti version is preserved, or B if it is a '''''new version install''''' false en none 1.      From Camera PC, use System Manager to activate original configuration 2.      From Camera PC, use PLC Editor to login both original projects – PLC_Reset in Port 811, and the other main PLC control project in Port 801. <div class="icon-instructions caution-icon"> <div class="icon-instructions-icon"><i class="fa fa-exclamation-triangle"></i></div> <div class="icon-instructions-text">DO NOT FORGET TO ACTIVATE BOOT PROJECT</div> </div><br/> Connect to camera PC Copy the latest tcMulti.pro file from g:\design\twinCAT to camera PC:\twinCAT\ On Camera PC, open System Manager – this should open the previously used version Open System manager again and load the recently copied TSM Save as “[BuildNo] tcMulti.TSM" Update the EtherCAT Device hardware (the TSM will be set up for the MAC address of the machine that this TSM was copied from) Display the two system managers side by side Using the old TSM as a blueprint, carefully check all IO mapping one by one. Make sure the new TSM matches precisely the old TSM Activate Configuration Using PLC Editor, login latest tcMulti in Port 801 <div class="icon-instructions caution-icon"> <div class="icon-instructions-icon"><i class="fa fa-exclamation-triangle"></i></div> <div class="icon-instructions-text">DO NOT FORGET TO ACTIVATE BOOT PROJECT</div> </div><br/> It is likely that the datum direction on some axes will have reversed. You need to enter setup mode and test each axis homes correctly. If an axis needs to be reversed, invert the two Homing parameters in Encoder Parameters->Homing Tab. Use the download button to save Copy a similar .tsm file to the machine from g:\design\twinCAT\TSMs to camera PC:\twinCAT\. This is the system Manager file, and you will need this for the following reasons: *The latest tcMulti and front end software have a different mapping for the IO *You can’t update an old mapping without loosing all the IO links *Using a similar file gets to a result quicker Using PLC Editor, login PLC_Reset in Port 811<div class="icon-instructions caution-icon"> <div class="icon-instructions-icon"><i class="fa fa-exclamation-triangle"></i></div> <div class="icon-instructions-text">DO NOT FORGET TO ACTIVATE BOOT PROJECT</div> </div><br/> Procedure A- Original Version Procedure B- New Version Install Copy latest tcMulti.pro file Copy a similar .tsm file to the machine Open System Manager Open System Manager again Save Update the EtherCAT Device hardware Display side-by-side Check all IO mapping one by one Activate Configuration Login PLC_Reset Login tcMulti Reverse datum direction if required TwinCAT2 renewing CF Card 2019-11-17T12:27:50Z 2458805.0193287 TB0444 Renewing CF Card on TwinCAT2 Systems 0 false false 0 0 0 1 plainlist 3 [[:Dokit:DocOptions]] [[DokitEPIEnable::yes]] TB0444 Renewing CF Card on TwinCAT2 Systems# QUERYee7a61aae48f1c3f91d8e4d7736360be
