1 Overview & Features
The MegaNETIMPRESS/C”arNETIMPRESS/NETIMPRESS next (hereafter called as
“NETIMPRESS”) is the in-circuit programmer that can perform high-speed on-board
programming of an microcomputer with built-in flash ROM or flash ROM connected to
external bus of a microcomputer.
AAA.YLC: License for Device A
BBB.YLC: License for Device B
The NETIMPRESS can support programming various devices by inserting the compact
module (hereafter called as “Control Module”), which contains programming firm data for
each microcomputer, into the programmer main unit.
The Control Module uses the Compact Flash (CF) card as its media.
You can add a target device to program by adding programming conditions to the Control
Module in a form of a license.
The NETIMPRESS can be also used as a stand-alone since programming conditions are
saved in the Control Module.
Also, you can control the programmer very flexibly from a PC, as it has the 100Base-Tx
interface. You can build up an automatically-controlled production line system by using the
Remote Package AZ491 that is available for an additional order.
1
2 Notes & Points
The Control Module is specifically designed and built for the NETIMPRESS programmer and
cannot be used for any other purposes. (A CF card commercially available cannot be used
as the Control Module.)
About this manual
This Startup Manual describes only the initial setup procedures required to perform
programming.
For detailed specifications of the NETIMPRESS main unit, Control Module, probe, software,
etc., see their relevant manuals.
This Startup Manual explains how to install the software, set up an IP address in the
NETIMPRESS main unit, add a license to the Control Module and file operation steps. This
Startup Manual describes the processes up to the step to control the programmer from a PC.
For the information on how to set up environments of each device and connection
information, which vary depending on each device, see the manual of the relevant manual of
the Control Module or probe.
Note:
The Control Module (CF card) is not added with the license when delivered. Be sure to add
the license (extension: YLC), which is provided in CD-ROM.
PC Requirements
The NETIMPRESS runs only on a Windows PC (Windows XP, and Windows7).
An Ethernet cable (10BASE-T, and 100BASE-TX) to connect the programmer and a PC is
a user-prepared item. (When you make one-to-one connection without using a hub, you
need a cross cable.)
The reader for the CF card (USB connection, for example) at the side of a PC is a
user-prepared item.

11 Impress Module Folder (YIM)
11.1 Folder Management
With the Control Module, you can save and maintain a programming object and
programming environments data in a folder called Impress Module folder (YIM). The YIM
folder created in the Control Module can be saved in a PC using the card reader, for
example. You can build up exact same programming environments by sending the YIM
folder to other work site to provide work instructions.
Note:
To share information by sending the YIM folder, the license for the same definition program
has to be registered with the programmer.
Send these folder and file to other work site.
EXE1, EXE2
YIM folder:
For details about the YIM folder, see Instruction Manual, Section 5.5 “Impress Module Folder
Related”.
.csb file:
For details, see Instruction Manual, Section 6.1.2 “EXE Key Setting”.
By just sending the above two files to other work site, exact same programming
environments can be built up.
22
11.2 Folder Configuration
r
(1) You can create more than one YIM folder in the compact flash and switch them with the
function key. For details, see Chapter 8 “Creating Impress Module Folder (YIM)”, Step
(2).
(2) BTP(* .BTP) file and a user OJB such as .KEY, .YSM, etc. are saved in the DOS area.
(3) The buffer file (BUF.SYS) and the definition file (CM.SYS) of each one type are saved for
YIM folder you have created.
(4) Since CSB file is placed right under the control module as shown below, only one CSB
file can be used for one control module.
For a file you have downloaded by pressing the Object Data button, you can switch it
between keeping and clearing of Buffer RAM with [FUNC 9A]. For details, see the
Instruction Manual.
You can view the file configuration on the window of the Remote Controller just as you work

12 Key File
The security function is built in the firmware of a flash microcomputer to prevent a third
person from reading and writing ROM illegally.
As the mechanism of the security function, a specific area of flash memory is set as an area
to store an ID code, and whenever access is tried from a serial programmer, the same data
with ID data written to the microcomputer is sent to the microcomputer as an ID code, and if
they are found not matching, the access is not allowed. Therefore, access can be made only
when you know what ID data is written to the microcomputer.
1. KEY file
The Key file is used to automatically issue an ID code to a microcomputer and unlock the
security when the programmer executes the device functions. Address where ID data is
stored, ID data size and value are saved in the Key file.
Download the Key file using the Copy File(Load) on the Bundle File field on the File
Transfer tab and place it in the YIM folder.
2. Security methods (Common)
You can execute the standard security function in the following two ways:
Specify security ID address and ID size.
Specify only a range of security ID and select any address within a specified address
range, and if data value of several bytes are matching, the security function is unlocked.
* Since specifications of the security function differ depending on a microcomputer of each
type, see the manual of the Micom Pack you use.
Creating a Key file
You can create a Key file using the Key File Generator AZ481.
To create a Key file, perform the following steps.
(1) Start up the AZ481.
24
(2) Enter address where ID is stored, ID size and ID data value.
In the above example, 0000608B is entered as security address, 8byte as ID size and
IEC213971A15B443 as data value respectively.
(3) Save KEY file
Select [File] → [File Save]. Then, save the KEY file.
* Note that a Key file name has to be the same name with an object.
Example: Object file name: For TEST128K.MOT, set TEST128K.KEY for KEY file.
25
13 SUM Check Function of YSM file
This function is used to check a SUM value of data whenever executing the device functions
so as to prevent programming illegal object data. This function is very useful in case data of
an object to program is garbled all of a sudden.
By saving a SUM value of an object in YSM file, data is automatically checked by the
NETIMPRESS.
When execution of the device functions is completed, a SUM value in YSM file is compared
with a SUM value at a time of execution of the device functions. In case they are not
matching, it results in an error with the message “YSM CHECK ERROR”.
Download YSM file using the Copy File (Load) of Bundle File on the File Transfer tab
and place it in the YIM folder.
Creating a YSM file
To create YSM file, perform the following steps.
(1) Start up the Key File Generator AZ481.
(2) Create YSM file
Select [Address Sort Off] from Option on the menu bar, and enter the data. (Basically,
enter only No. 1 and No. 2 lines.)
No.1: Enter SUM value
No.2: Flag to Check SUM/Do not check SUM
No. 1: data
Address = 00000000 (Fixed)
Size=1 (Size of SUM. For 1byte, enter “1”, for 2byte, enter “2”.)
Data = SUM (Calculate SUM value by using “BufferSUM” of Basic Operation of AZ490)
26
No.2: flag
Address = 00000000 (Fixed)
Size = 1 (Fixed)
Enter Data = “ 01 “ or “ 00 ” (Check SUM = 01, Do not check SUM=00)
NO.1
NO.2
* For SUM check of YSM file, there is also a function to check the data in the certain area of
buffer memory. It is useful to check the version of file. For details, see a manual of NET
IIMPRESS main unit.
(3) Save YSM file
Select [File] → [File Save]. Then, save the YSM file.
Select YSM File(*.YSM) for the file type.
* Note that YSM file name has to be the same name with an object.
27
14 CSB File
A CSB file is used to execute command sequence. Execution sequence of a CSB file is
assigned to the two EXE keys on the upper part of the NETIMPRESS main unit.
Set up a command with CSB file.
EXE1
EXE2
LK1,01,DF;EPR
(Pressing EXE1 executes ERP.)
LK2,01,DD;Program
