Section 1 – WinLoader Installation Overview

1.1 Overview

Introduction

The WinLoader includes a powerful software program that combines
menu-driven procedures and on-line monitoring with integrated
programming and documentation. This ladder logic program lets you
define the discrete control functions for your control strategy through
relay ladder logic using familiar logic elements such as contacts, coils,
timers, counters, and various other logic elements.

Depending on the type of control strategy you have configured for your
application, the WinLoader software program may be provided by
Honeywell as part of either of the following control system platforms:

• 620-60 WinLoader — provides a user-supplied Windows-compatible
personal computer with the capability to program and monitor all 620
Logic Controller CPMs, and is available in the following two versions:

– 620-6020 WinLoader, which comes with an RS232/RS422 External

Converter Box to be installed through a PC's RS232 serial
communications port.

– more complete hardware descriptions,

– a list of compatible personal computers that can be used with each

version, and

– a description of the 620 WinLoader software that is provided.

• 620-6150A Loader/Terminal — an industrially-hardened laptop
computer capable of all WinLoader functions;

– 620-6150A Loader/Terminal is sold as a spare part.

– comes with an RS232/422 External Converter Box to be installed

through the 620-6150A Loader/Terminal's serial port.

The WinLoader software program is factory-installed on
the 620-6150A Loader/Terminal; if your system includes a 620-6150A
Loader/Terminal, you do not have to install any additional software.

Although version 5.4 (and greater) WinLoaders are shipped and is set for
point-to-point operation. This section is not supporting Multidrop feature
, therefore, presents information that pertains only for point-to-point
operation.

Interface port for
629-6019 External
Converter Box

Figure 2 Cable Construction

The interface port on the 629-6019 External Converter Box is a 9-pin
female sub-D connector with a tin-plated shell and a latching mechanism.
The interface port has both transmit and receive capabilities along with
clear-to-send and request-to-send control, and is used to communicate
with 620 LCs using the 10-foot Loader/Terminal cable; however, you
may wish to extend this length by constructing a cable according to the
pin assignments specified in Figures 2 and 3. The 629-6019 External
Converter Box can operate at a maximum distance of 2000 feet (610m).

The interface port is essential for 620-6020 WinLoader
operation; 620-6020 WinLoader software will not communicate with a
620 LC unless an External Converter Box is installed in your personal
computer.

• If your PC is not capable of supplying 5VDC at 650mA through its
keyboard jack, use a compatible external power supply (not
supplied by Honeywell) that has been fitted with a 5-pin female
standard DIN connector.

It is your responsibility to determine if your PC has
a compatible keyboard port with +5VDC on the appropriate pins
and if it is capable of supplying the 650mA necessary to operate
the 629-6019 converter.

• If your PC is capable of supplying 5VDC at 650mA through its
keyboard jack, use the power splitter cable as follows
(see Figure 6):

1.2 WinLoader Start-up, Continued

Specifying Loader
mode of operation
upon start-up

Specifying the appropriate parameter upon start-up allows the
WinLoader to automatically enter either Loader/Monitor or Stand-Alone
mode.

• Refer to subsection 2.2 for description of Loader/Monitor mode and to
subsection 2.3 for description of Stand-Alone mode.

• By using Table 1-4 or 1-5 procedure –

– you may reduce number of keystrokes necessary to begin monitoring

or editing ladder logic program and can specify working
environment for those operations;

– Loader software exits directly to operating system without passing

through Main Menu; this allows commands to be used in any batch
files you create.

• Unless error occurs (such as missing documentation file), only
keystroke required to enter Loader/Monitor or Stand-Alone mode (after
commands are entered) is [ENTER] to acknowledge proprietary
information screen.

• If communication is established, Loader software examines
configuration file specified by FILENAME parameter, determines what
line to display initially, and if documentation files should be
automatically loaded.

Perform the Table 1-3 procedure to enter the Loader/Monitor mode:

Processor
configuration for
Multidrop Loader
Network

Press [F7] Multidrop Configuration (Presently Not Supported in
WinLoader 5.4) from Processor Configuration Menu to access the

Multidrop Configuration Menu (shown in Figure 2-4 - next page). This
menu is used to configure WinLoader to be part of a Multidrop Loader
Network with any connected 620 LC devices. Refer to Table 2-4 (below)
for descriptions of each of the available selections from this menu.

• Each 620 LC's CPM must be appropriately wired and configured (using
a standard point-to-point WinLoader connection) to operate in
Multidrop Loader Network mode and must be assigned a valid nodal
address; refer to 620-12/1633/36 Logic Controller User Manual (Form
620-8964) for more information on Multidrop Loader Network.

• Once Multidrop Loader Network has been set up, and connected
processors and WinLoader have been properly configured, you can
communicate to any particular 620 LC on the network through the
WinLoader simply by specifying the appropriate nodal address.

• Multidrop operation cannot be disabled while CPM is active; if CPM's
Multidrop nodal address is changed while Multidrop is active,
WinLoader will change its current nodal address at the same time so
that communications are not lost.

• Once configured for Multidrop operation, CPM will support both point­to-point and Multidrop Loader Network communications; this allows
you to remove any 620 LC from the network and connect it to a local
maintenance WinLoader.
