For more information, see chapter 5.

processor memory file is the master you want to start using with
ControlGuardian. Insert the production file into the master directory.
For more information, see chapter 4.

Now you have a master file that you can compare to other files. If you have several
processor memory files to upload, create a batch file to upload the remaining files.
The parameters you set for the above single upload become the defaults for the
batch edit function. Just change the processor for each upload action in the
batch file.

Quick Start

Once you get your initial master files ready, you can begin running and scheduling
upload and compare actions. One place to start is to make a copy of the batch file
you used to insert the initial production files. Then modify the actions from upload
to upload and compare. That gives you a batch file that is ready to upload and
compare all the processors in your system. For more information about editing
batch files, see chapter 5.

Installing and Starting the Software

Using ControlGuardian in a Windows Environment

The Microsoft Windows operating system offers a graphical interface for consistent
access to applications and multitasking of those applications. By running
ControlGuardian under Windows, you can have multiple sessions active at onetime.

Note If you intend to run multiple sessions of ControlGuardian (except when using the

WinLinx/RSLinx driver), use a separate communication device for each session.
For example, you can have multiple 1784-KT cardsin the programmingterminal, or
run one session from a 1784-KT cardand another session from a serial device. For
more information about configuring communication devices, see chapter 3.

If you are new to Windows, refer to the definitions in Table 2.C.

Recommendations for CONFIG.SYS

To run multiple sessions of ControlGuardian software, set:

· FILES=50

· BUFFERS=30

If you use a memory manager, make sure the device statement the memory address
of the communication card. To do this:

· add EMMExclude=xxxx-yyyy to the [386Enh] section of the Windows

SYSTEM.INI file

· use the appropriate command for the expanded memory manager to exclude the

· on large disk drives

· files for multi-session applications

Add the following line to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file:

C:\DOS\SHARE /F: n

where n is 40 times the number of files in the FILES command in your
CONFIG.SYS file.
