1. Introduction

This document describes the stand-alone up/downloader package, which can be installed without the
presence of the entire Saia PG5. It also needs no software license to use it.

The package consists of three applications:

S-Conf : Online Configurator

S-Conf (Sconf.exe) is a stand-alone configurator for Saia PCD hardware. It allows the connected
PCD's memory, communications and password to be configured online. It also has commands for
displaying information from the PCD, uploading/downloading programs and data, controlling the
CPU's status (Run/Stop/Restart), and even for downloading new firmware into the PCD.

Sload5 : Command-line Up/Downloader

Sload5.exe is a command line interface for the SAIA PCD up/downloader, for uploading and
downloading SAIA PCD programs and hardware settings from the command prompt or from a batch
file. It can also be invoked by other applications.

S-Dat : Data Transfer Utility

S-Dat (Sdat.exe) is a program for saving and loading a PCD's Register, Flag, Timer, Counter,
Input/Output and/or Data Block values to/from text files.
It has two modes, interactive mode and command-line mode. In interactive mode, it has a built in text
editor for viewing, modifying or creating the address and data files which define the addresses and
data to be up or downloaded. Command line mode up/downloads files using a command line and
shows only the 'progress' dialog boxes.

2. Installation

The package is installed by running 'Sload513.exe'. This installs the communications driver and
applications. If the PG5 is already installed, existing PG5 files will not be replaced.

3. S-Conf : Online Configurator

3.1 Introduction

S-Conf is a stand-alone configurator for Saia PCD hardware. It allows the connected PCD's memory,
communications and password to be configured online. It also has commands for displaying
information from the PCD, uploading/downloading programs and data, controlling the CPU's status
(Run/Stop/Restart), and even for downloading new firmware into the PCD.

Hardware Settings are viewed and edited online, or can be downloaded from a file or saved in a file,
type '.5hw', which is the file used by the PG5 Project Manager to hold a CPU's settings.

When S-Conf starts, it uses the online settings of the PG5 Project Manager's active CPU, or the last
active CPU if Project Manager is not running. If the 'Auto Connect' option is enabled, then S-Conf will
connect as soon as it starts (unless it's a dial-up modem channel).

S-Conf can be used even if another PG5 application is already online via the same serial port.
Several PG5 applications can share the same port as long as they use the same communications
channel.

Invocation:
C:\Program Files\Saia-Burgess\PG5 1_3> Sconf32.exe

3.2 Main Window

Online Settings

If online, this shows the online settings of the connected CPU. If offline it shows the online
settings of the CPU to be connected. The settings from the PG5's active CPU are used by default
when S-Conf starts. Note that changing the online settings with S-Conf will not affect the online
settings of the active CPU.

Tip: Before going online, check this to verify that you will connect to the correct CPU, especially

if on a network where the S-Bus station number should be checked. You can turn off the 'Auto
Connect' option so that S-Conf won't connect automatically when it starts.

PCD Type

The connected PCD's type and subtype, e.g. PCD2.M480.

Version

The PCD's firmware version number. If it begins with 'B' then it's a Beta version. If it begins with
'$' then it is a pre-release development version for testing or special purposes.

Program

The name of the program in the PCD. This is the first 8 characters of the PCD file name.

Date / Time

The PCD's date and time, read from its internal real-time clock. This can be set using the 'Online
/Clock' menu command.

Day / Week

The day of the week (1..7) where 1 is Monday and 7 is Sunday, and the week of the year (1..54)
which conforms to ISO 8601.

Status

The status of the connected CPU:

Run: The program is running.
Conditional Run: The program is running but a breakpoint has been set.
Stop at XXXXXX: The program has stopped at address XXXXXX.
Halt at XXXXXX, dd/mm/yy hh:mm:ss: The program has halted at address XXXXXX, the date

and time of the halt are also shown. The next line shows the halt reason, such as "NO
PROGRAM", see Halt and History messages.

Buttons

T [phone] I F [phone]

The buttons, such as 'Go Online' and 'Clock...' have the same functionality as the commands on
the Online menu.

3.3 Menus

3.3.1 File menu

Open Hardware Settings File...

Opens an existing '.5hw' file for viewing, editing or downloading. Hardware Settings files are
usually created by the PG5 Project Manager for each CPU, and can also be created by using the
'Online / Hardware Settings' command and pressing the 'Save As' button.

1, 2...

The list of most recently opened or created Hardware Settings files (.5hw). Click on a file name to
open it.

Exit

Closes S-Conf.

3.3.2 Online menu

Go Online / Go Offline

Puts the PCD on/off line via the channel shown in the 'Online Settings'. If it fails to connect,
check the Online Settings (see below), check the cable between the PC and PCD, make sure the
PCD is switched on, then re-try the connection by pressing the 'Go Online' button again.

Online Settings...

Displays the 'Online Settings' dialog box which allows a communications channel to be
configured for connection to the PCD, and also allows a CPU, S-BUS station number and/or
telephone number to be entered. The appearance of the dialog box depends on the selected
channel type.

NOTE

The 'Online Settings' command configures the channel for S-Conf only. If the Online Configurator
is called from the Project Manager, changing the communications channel from the Online
Configurator does NOT change the channel used by the PG5's active CPU. The CPU's channel
must be configured using the Project Manager's 'Online Settings' command.

Hardware Settings...

PG5 UpDownloadernew.doc 6/58

Saia-Burgess Controls Ltd.
Bahnhofstrasse 18 I CH-3280 Murten I Switzerland
T [phone] I F [phone]

Uploads the hardware settings from the connected PCD and displays them in the Hardware
Settings dialog box. If OK is pressed, then the hardware settings are written back into the PCD,
with or without the memory allocation which causes the user program(s) to be deleted.

Clock...

Sets the PCD's internal real-time clock, see the Set Clock dialog box.

S-Bus Station...

Allows only the S-Bus station number to be changed online, without stopping or resetting the
PCD. (Downloading the full S-Bus configuration from the Hardware Settings dialog box always
restarts the PCD.) If connected over an S-Bus network, S-Conf will reconnect to the PCD using
the new station number.

Information...

Displays the Information dialog box which shows details of the PCD's hardware and software
versions.

History...

Displays the History dialog box which shows the PCD's history table, and has a button for
clearing the table.

Flash Backup/Restore > Backup User Program To Flash...
Flash Backup/Restore > Restore User Program From Flash...

Copies the user program to or from the PCD's Flash memory, if fitted. See Backup/Restore User
Program To/From Flash.

Run

Puts the CPU into Run mode. If the Run button is disabled it means the PCD is already running.
Both Run and Stop are disabled if the PCD is in Halt.

Stop

Puts the CPU into Stop mode, program execution stops at the current location, which could be
anywhere in the user program. If the Run button is disabled it means the PCD is already running.
Both Run and Stop are disabled if the PCD is in Halt.

Restart

Resets the CPU and moves its instruction pointer to the start-up XOB 16 (if XOB 16 is not present
the instruction pointer is moved to the start of COB 0). The CPU remains in Stop mode until a Run
command is done.

WARNING

If online to CPU 0 of a PCD4 or PCD6 with more than one CPU, these commands will control

ALL the CPUs.

3.3.3 Tools menu

Download Program...

Downloads a user program from a '.pcd' file, see Download Program.

Upload Program...

Uploads a user program into a '.upl' file, see Upload program.

3.3.4 Options menu

Auto Connect

S-Conf normally connects to the PCD when it starts, unless the configured channel is for a dial­up modem which is not online. Uncheck this option if you don't want S-Cont to try to connect
whenever it is opened. If unchecked, then you must use the 'Go Online' button or menu
command to connect.

Always On Top

Toggles the 'always on top' state. When checked, S-Conf is always displayed in front of all other
windows.

Channels...

Displays the Channels dialog box, allowing the settings of each available channel to be viewed or
configured, and new channels to be created.

3.3.5 Help menu

Help Topics

Displays the Contents/Index/Find help dialog box.

About S-Conf...

Displays the About dialog box.

3.4 Dialog Boxes

3.4.1 S-Bus Station dialog box

This command allows the connected PCD's S-Bus station number to be changed without restarting
the PCD. This is useful if you need to change the station number of a PCD which is in use, because it
does not interrupt program execution..

If communicating via S-Bus, the PCD will stay online using the new station number.

To change other S-Bus settings in the PCD use the Hardware Setting's S-Bus page.

3.4.2 Information dialog box

Displays information about the PCD's firmware, hardware and fitted communications cards.
Information from the communications cards requires a full protocol (PGU) connection.

Production Information group

PG5 UpDownloadernew.doc 8/58

Saia-Burgess Controls Ltd.
Bahnhofstrasse 18 I CH-3280 Murten I Switzerland
T [phone] I F [phone]

Production information which is programmed into the PCD's non-volatile memory during manufacture.
Not all PCD models contain this data, a "Production Information not available" error will occur if the
connected PCD does not have this data.

PCD Type

The PCD model type.

System ID

The PCD model subtype. Known types are shown as texts, e.g. "M110", "M220". If "?" is shown
then the model is unknown (new PCD model, or invalid). Its hex value is shown in brackets.

Firmware Version

The version of the PCD's operating software, e.g. 002. If the version contains an 'X' or a '$' it
signifies that the firmware is a pre-release or custom version.

Hardware Version

A single ASCII character which identifies the PCD hardware version. It is normally a letter
between 'A' and 'Z'. This letter can also be found on the printed circuit board after the part
number. Its hex value is shown in brackets.

Modifications

Shows which hardware modifications are present, 1..8. E.g. "1 2 3 5". Each number indicates a
particular hardware modification or feature, whose values depend on the PCD type. "None" is
shown if there are no modifications. Its hex value is shown in brackets (bit 0=mod.1, bit 7=mod.8).

Fab. Date (year/week)

Fabrication date. The year and week when the PCD was manufactured. Years earlier than 1996
are probably invalid, as are values containing the letters 'A'..'F'.

BAD CHECKSUM (was xxxxh, expected yyyyh)

The production information has a checksum so it can be validated. This message is displayed if
the PCD has production information but its checksum is wrong. This probably means that the
production information data has not been programmed. The data is displayed anyway, but may
not be valid. The expected and actual checksums are shown in hex.

The following fields are shown only for the PCD3.

Serial Number

Each PCD has a unique serial number.

MAC Address

The 'Media Access Control' address, see below for details.

Slot B1, Slot B2 groups
These show information about the communications cards fitted in Slot B1 and Slot B2, if available.
Not all PCD types and firmware versions can provide this information, so the fields may be empty.
They are not shown for PCD3 types.

Type

The card type, e.g. PCD7.F650. <unknown> will be shown if the PCD's firmware cannot provide
the information or if it's a reduced protocol connection. <none> will be shown if there is no card
fitted, or if it's a non-intelligent card which cannot provide any information. The PCD2.F510 (LED
display only) always shows <none> because it's not an intelligent card.

Version

The revision of the card.

Modifications

List of modifications made to the card.

Fab. Date (year/week)

Fabrication date, the year and week when the card was manufactured.

MAC Address

The 'Media Access Control' address, a hardware address that uniquely identifies each node of a
network. In IEEE 802 networks, the Data Link Control (DLC) layer of the OSI Reference Model is
divided into two sublayers: the Logical Link Control (LLC) layer and the Media Access Control
(MAC) layer. The MAC layer interfaces directly with the network medium. Consequently, each
different type of network medium requires a different MAC layer.

3.4.3 History dialog box

The History is a list of all PCD errors which have occurred since the table was last cleared.

The three most common entries, listed below, are always present. These have a 'count' value which
indicates the number of occurrences of the error in the Count column, the address of the last
occurrence in the Address column, and the date and time of the last occurrence. If no error has
occurred since the last time the history table was cleared, the date and time values show the date and
time the history table was cleared. The 'Clear History' button deletes all entries except these four most
common errors.

The window may contain additional entries for individual errors which are less likely to occur. These
do not contain a count. If more than 12 of these errors have occurred, preceding errors are lost. The
history table only logs the last 16 errors.

These are the three errors which are always shown, with counts. Other errors are listed in Halt and
History Messages.

BATT FAIL

The battery on the memory module or CPU card needs to be replaced. Data in battery-backed
RAM may be lost if the PCD is powered off.

IR OVERFLOW

Index register overflow. The user program contains an error which causes the Index Register to
be incremented beyond its maximum value. The "Address" shows where the problem occurred,
usually the line after the offending instruction. The user program should be corrected.

ERROR FLAG

The error flag was set because of an error in the user program. The "Address" indicates where
the problem occurred. The user program should be corrected. The error flag can be set by things
like a divide by zero, or sending data to an uninitialized serial port.

3.4.4 Halt and history messages

If the PCD detects a fatal error it loads the 'Halt Reason Register' with a text.

For non-fatal errors, the 'History Table' is loaded with a text. The History Table stores the last 12
errors in a circular buffer. The four most common errors have fixed positions at the end of the table,
and have counters which indicate how many of these events have occurred. If the History table is
cleared then these counters are set to zero and the time and date are set to the time the history was
cleared. This table can be viewed with the History command.

The messages are listed in alphabetical order.

3.4.5 Download Hardware Settings dialog box

Pressing 'OK' will writes the Hardware Settings back into the connected PCD.

Download To PCD

Describes the destination PCD, it's type and channel etc. Verify that this is correct before
downloading the settings. You will not be able to download the settings if the PCD type does not
match the actual PCD type.

Which Settings group

Memory Allocation - the user program is deleted checkbox

When checked, the memory will be reallocated, which deletes all the user programs in the
PCD. This is normally only necessary if the memory size has been changed, or if memory
partitioning on a multi-CPU PCD4 or PCD6 has been changed.
If you receive an error 'Not enough space for extended header', check this box to reallocate
memory and make space for the configuration data.

S-Bus, Serial, Profi-S-Bus, TCP/IP, Gateway checkbox

Downloads the communications settings.

Password checkbox

Downloads the password. Note that this will remove password protection if the 'Password
Protection' checkbox on the Hardware Settings dialog box is unchecked.

NOTES

• Changes made online to the hardware settings will not update the PG5's Hardware Settings file
(.5hw). The changed settings can be uploaded to the project using Project Manager's 'Online /
Hardware Settings / Upload' command.

• To remove the S-Bus, Gateway, Modem and/or TCP/IP configuration
Uncheck the relevant checkbox on the Hardware Settings pages, then download the 'S-Bus,
Serial .. Gateway' settings.

• Operation not supported by PCD F/W version error
Some old hardware or firmware may not support all Hardware Settings options. This error is
normally caused by one of the following :

- S-Bus mode : old systems do not support Data Mode

- Password : old systems do not support a password

- Extension Memory : old hardware does not have extension memory
For the S-Bus mode and password, a firmware upgrade may be available.

• User memory write error
This is usually caused by :

- missing memory chip or memory chip incorrectly inserted

- wrong type of memory chip

- wrong RAM/EPROM/FLASH jumper setting

- read-only jumper RO is in, and memory is write-protected

- USER PROG jumper (PCD2) incorrect for memory chip size

• Changing communications settings
If you change the PCD's communications settings, and these settings are being used for
communications, you may put the PCD off line. For example, if communicating via TCP/IP and
you then disable TCP/IP support in the PCD, then the PCD will go off line with a 'no response'
error after the new settings are downloaded. Some firmware versions will return a 'NAK response'
if you try to change communications settings which are in use.

4. Sload5 : Command-line Up/Downloader

NOTE

Users should normally use the Online Configurator, S-Conf, for up and downloading programs and
hardware settings. Sload5 is an advanced tool for experienced users.

4.1 Introduction

Sload5.exe is a command line interface for the SAIA PCD up/downloader, for uploading and
downloading SAIA PCD programs and hardware settings from the command prompt or from a batch
file. It can also be invoked by other applications.

Because Sload5 command lines contain many switches, it can also be run in intercative mode, with a
user interface to select the options and generate the command line text, which is then copied to the
clipboard ready for pasting into a batch file.

Up/download operations require a PCD program file name (.pcd or .upl) or PCD memory image file
name (.im5), and an optional hardware settings file name (.5hw) which is usually copied from the PG5
project. Instead of supplying separate file names, a single file name is used, and SLOAD5 will add the
different extensions. For example, downloading the program file "C:\My Projects\My CPU\My
CPU.pcd" will automatically use hardware settings file "C:\My Projects\My CPU\My CPU.5hw". This is
because the PG5 Project Manager uses the same name for both files.

The hardware settings file contains the online settings (channel name, CPU number, station number
etc). The hardware settings file can optionally contain the channel configuration (protocol, COM port,
baud rate etc) which can be used to create a new channel on the target PC if it's not already
configured. The channel settings must be added to the hardware settings file by pressing the 'Write
Channel Settings To File' button. The hardware settings file is not needed if the hardware settings do
not need to be downloaded and the communications channel is already defined on the target PC.

The customer who uses SLOAD5 for downloading a PCD program update will usually receive a
program file, e.g. 'filename.pcd', the associated hardware settings file, e.g. 'filename.5hw', and a batch
file, e.g. 'dodownload.bat', which contains the command to execute SLOAD5 with the correct
command line. An indirect command filecan also be used instead of command line parameters.

Main Features

• Powerful command line for upload, download, run and restart operations.

• Download entire program or selected segments (code, text, extension memory).

• Download hardware settings or selected settings (memory allocation, S-Bus, Password).

• Upload a user program to a '.upl' file.

• Upload the hardware settings to a '.5hw' file. This can be used by the PG5.

• Upload All/Download All : saves/restores the entire PCD memory, for battery or memory change

etc..

• Uses online and channel settings defined in a hardware settings file ('.5hw'), which is an editable
file.

• Can create a channel if the desired channel is not already configured on the host PC. The
channel configuration can be copied into the hardware settings file (.5hw), and SLOAD5 will
create the channel if it does not already exist.

• Two modes of operation "batch mode" and "interactive mode". With command line switches it
runs in batch mode and shows only the progress dialog box. Without the switches (or with the
/GUI switch), it runs in interactive mode with a user interface for entering data and generating a
command line text.

• Selectable Extension Memory Initialisation (EMI) segment: Full/Compact/None

• Options to "Copy To Flash" and "Copy From Flash".

• Can use an indirect command file instead of a command line to supply its commands, e.g.

SLOAD5 @"filename.cmd"

• Can optionally put the CPU into Run after a successful download.

• Can be used to restart a CPU and put it into Run without doing a download.

• Option to use the PG5 Project Manager's upload and download dialog boxes, see the

/PG5DIALOGS switch.

• Handles password protected PCDs, by using an encrypted password, see /PASSWORD switch.

• Can set the PCD's clock from the PC's clock.

• Serial ports COM1 to COM255 can be used, see /COMn switch.

• Can verify the target CPU using the CPU's unique serial number (currently PCS1.C8 only), see

/SERIALNO switch.

• /IPADDS=n.n.n.n switch to set the TCP/IP address.

4.2 Command Line Parameters

SLOAD5 is invoked with this command line:

SLOAD5 ["filename"] [switches]

or

SLOAD5 @"command_filename[.cmd]"

Items in square brackets [..] are optional.

"filename"

The filename must be enclosed in double quotes. This can be the name of a PCD program file
(.pcd), PG5 hardware settings file (.5hw), or uploaded program file (.upl), depending on the
selected operation. You do not need to use an extension unless downloading a '.upl' file, because
SLOAD5 adds the file extension according to the operation. If you do use an extension, you
should use the right one: if downloading a program (/DNLD switch) use '.pcd' or '.upl'; if
downloading hardware settings (/DNHW switch) use '.5hw'; if up/downloading both a program file
and the hardware settings you can use either extension, '.pcd', '.upl' or '5hw'. For
'Upload/Download All', use '.im5'. SLOAD5 will create the file names it needs for each operation
by changing the extension.

@"command_filename[.cmd]"

This is the name of an indirect command file which contains the command line, preceded by an @
sign. The contents of this file is read and processed as if it was part of the command line. You can
also supply additional switches on the command line too. The default filename extension is '.cmd',
but any extension can be used. If the filename contains spaces it must be enclosed in double
quotes, e.g. @"Command File Name.cmd". The command file should contain the
"filename" and switches exactly as they would be on the command line, except they can be
on one or more lines in the file.
Example:
To run SLOAD5 using command line parameters in file command.cmd, and force interactive
mode to be used. SLOAD5's dialog box shows the switch settings.
SLOAD5 @command.cmd /GUI

switches

Switches are one or more words beginning with a forward slash '/', see the list below. The switches
define the online connection, CPU and station number, and the operation(s) which will be done.
Switches can be in upper or lower case, e.g. /DNLD is the same as /dnld. Not all switches are
compatible with each other, for example, you cannot use /UPLD (upload program) and /DNLD
(download program) together, or /COPYTOFLASH and /COPYFROMFLASH together. SLOAD5 will
display an error message if incompatible or invalid switches are used.

The best way to create a command line is to open SLOAD5 in interactive mode, enter the file name
and select the options you need, then press the 'Copy Command Line to Clipboard' button. This
creates the command line for you, and you can then paste it into a batch file or other text document.

/ONLINE="channel_name"[,cpu[,stn]]
/ONLINE=PG5
/ONLINE=5HW

This switch defines the 'online settings' - which channel, CPU and S-Bus station number will be
used. If not used then the default is to use the settings from the Hardware Settings file (.5hw).
channel must be one of these values :
"channel_name" : The name of a channel which is already defined on the PC. The channel

name must be enclosed in double quotes, e.g. "PGU".
cpu and stn : The optional CPU and S-Bus station numbers. If the PG5 or 5HW options are used,
then the CPU and station numbers are read from the Registry or '.5hw' file, but can be overridden
with these options. If "channel_name" is used, cpu and stn will default to CPU 0 and station

0. The station number stn is ignored if it's not an S-Bus protocol channel.
PG5 : Use the online settings of the currently active or last active CPU in the PG5's Project
Manager. The PG5 keyword must not be in double quotes, e.g. use /ONLINE=PG5.
5HW : The default if there's no /ONLINE switch. Uses the online settings and channel definition
from the hardware settings file (.5hw). The PG5 always saves the CPU's 'Online Settings' in this
file (see the [GoOnline] section). It does not save the channel settings. If the channel is not
defined on the target PC, then SLOAD5 can create it from the channel definition in the '.5hw' file.
If using PG5 V1.2, the only way to put the channel definition into the file is to use interactive
mode's 'Write Channel Settings to File button. The 5HW keyword must not be in double quotes,
e.g. use /ONLINE=5HW.
Examples:
To use channel S-Bus, CPU 0, station 12:

/ONLINE="S-Bus",0,12

To use channel MyChannel, CPU 0, station 0 :

/ONLINE="MyChannel"

To use the channel, CPU and station number defined in hardware settings file "MyFile.5hw" :

SLOAD5 "MyFile.pcd" /DNLD

or
SLOAD5 "MyFile.pcd" /DNLD /ONLINE=5HW
To use the Project Manager's active CPU's channel, CPU number and station (useful for add-on
tools) :

/ONLINE=PG5

NOTES

On a PCD4 or PCD6, it is not necessary to be physically connected to the target CPU, programs
can be downloaded through any CPU, but note that hardware settings can only be downloaded
to CPU 0.
The /ONLINE switch cannot be used with the /GOONLINE switch.

/GOONLINE="filename[.ini]"

The online settings are read from the [GoOnline] section in file filename, which has the default
file type '.ini' . This is similar to the /ONLINE=5HW setting described above, but a different file is
used. The /COMn, /IPADDS, /PHONE, /STN and /FDLADDS override switches can still be used.
The file's [GoOnline] section can be viewed and edited with the 'Online Settings…' button. Use
the '>' browse button to choose an existing file. This switch cannot be used with the /ONLINE=
switch.

/COM1 .. /COM255

COM port override switch. To save defining a new channel for each serial COM port, this switch
can be used to override the COM port in the online settings. It is used only for serial RS-232 or
RS-485 channels. Only one switch is allowed on the command line.
These switches cannot be configured from interactive mode.
