Note on software protection:
The memory card must be considered as part of the CPU. If the memory card is removed
during current operation, the BRIDGE CS-L2 enters STOP, as a result of the software
protection, i.e. telegrams are no longer processed.
Attention:
Before commissioning, please read the current documentation carefully.

The Memory Card contains the entire system software for the Bridge (version V02.01) .
To perform an upgrade or update from diskette, a BRIDGE CS-L2 memory card must be
available.
The upgrade procedure is performed offline with a PC or a programming device having a
compatible MC interface (e.g. PG740).
The update procedure is performed either from the IBS terminal (online) or from a
programming device having a compatible MC interface (e.g. PG740).
A description of the upgrade procedure is provided under heading 2.2 in this document, of
the update procedure under heading 2.3 .
Caution:
The file RM3_PC1.SYS on the memory card must never be deleted, moved or
overwritten, as this would mean that the memory card would no longer be
bootable!
2.1 Startup by Commissioning Terminal
Additional the IBS-Tool diskette contains your local tool in the directory ASBEDIEN. Install
this on your PC to be used for commissioning of the BRIDGE CS-L2 according to the
installation instructions in the document file ASBEDI_E.DOC in the directory ASBEDIEN,
and connect your PC to the serial commissioning interface of your BRIDGE CS-L2 via a
serial interface.
For operation under Windows 3.1, a PIF file is delivered with the software. This contains
the following settings: run in full screen mode, exclusive foreground execution, foreground
priority very high.
For operation under Windows 95, the following setting should be specified: idle time
activity very low; no screen saver.
Using your "Commissioning terminal" installed in this manner and the commands of the
ASBEDIEN input program you can access all data on the memory card inserted in the
BRIDGE CS-L2.
Read the parameter files which have to be processed to enable parameterization from the
memory card into a file on your PC using the command "COPY_PC ...". You can modify
this file on your PC according to your system configuration using the ASCII editors which
can be executed under DOS, and then write them back onto your memory card using the
ASBEDIEN command "COPY_TM ...".
Note:
Before starting the UPGRADE/UPDATE activities, please ensure that a current backup of
any files that are to be modified exists. This will allow the previous software version to be
restored in the even of unforeseen circumstances. The files on the memory card are not
write protected, so care should be taken when accessing the memory card.
To back up the files from the memory card to your archive, use the ASBEDIEN command
"COPY_PC ...".
2.2 Procedure for Upgrade to V02.01 with Programming Device PG740
Switch off the power supply of the BRIDGE CS-L2 before pulling the memory card!
For the upgrade, insert the memory card into the MEM-CARD slot of the PG740. Now start
the batch UPGRADE.BAT (if applicable, information on the memory card drive, default
setting is E:):
This batch file
-
creates a directory C:\UPGRADE.201 (for this, at least 1 MByte must be free on drive
C:).
-
copies all files from memory card into the upgrade directory.
-
deletes the RMOS system file, as this can never be copied to the MC.
- deletes all BAK files.
-
copies the packed upgrade files from disk into the directory (the system files to be
upgraded are then overwritten).
-
reformats the memory card and sets up the RMOS system.
-
copies all files from the upgrade directory to the memory card
Now perform the following two steps:
1) Put the upgraded memory card in the allocated Bridge CS-L2 and initiate a reboot of
the CPU (power on).
2) Install the new terminal program ASBEDIEN V1.06 to your PC from the diskette
included with your delivery (IBS tools).
Notes:
The upgrade batch runs under Windows 95 and 3.1, but not under Windows NT !
Subdirectories on the Memory Card will not be copied. These have to be saved to the PC/
Programming device bevor starting the upgrade procedure.
The upgrade directory is not deleted. This means that, if an error should occur during the
upgrade process, the process can be repeated.
Attention:
If more than one Bridge memory card are upgraded the directory
UPGRADE.201 must either be deleted or renamed between the individual
upgrade processes.
The upgrade directory can also be used as a backup copy of the entire system software.
This means that repairs can be carried out on memory cards with defective software
(create directory UPGRADE.200, copy backed up file to it and start the batch file).
You will find the files listed below in the directory A:\UPDATE.106 on the UPDATE diskette
delivered to you. Copy these files to the directory ‘C:\ASBEDIEN’ on your Commissioning
Terminal PC or into the current working directory (e.g. C:\TEMP is specified in
ASBEDIEN.PIF).
On the Commissioning Terminal PC connected to the BRIDGE CS-L2, start the program
ASBEDIEN.exe (via ASBEDIEN.PIF under Windows, so that the program runs in full
screen mode and without a screen saver).
Now, in command mode, copy the files previously backed up to the PC to the memory
card in the BRIDGE CS-L2 in the following sequence:
<ESC>COPY_TM IBS_BEDI.386
<ESC>COPY_TM STARTER.386 resp. <ESC>COPY_TM C:\TEMP\STARTER.386
<ESC>COPY_TM BRI_BEDI.386 ...
<ESC>COPY_TM BRIDGE.386
<ESC>
COPY_TM ITASK.EXE
<ESC>COPY_TM RMOS.INI
<ESC>COPY_TM L2AMPRO.INX
<ESC>
COPY_TM VERSION.TXT
resp.
<ESC>COPY_TM C:\ASBEDIEN\IBS_BEDI.386
If necessary, the following file should be modified in accordance with this product
information.
BR_SYS.INI
settings for non-redundant operation of the CS 275 bus
After a successful transfer, exit ASBEDIEN (with Alt-X).
Now perform the following two steps:
1) Initiate a reboot of the BRIDGE CS-L2 (reset or off/on)
2) Install the new terminal program ASBEDIEN V1.06 to your PC from the diskette
included with your delivery (IBS tools).
Attention:
The data transfer was only successful if the command COPY_TM ends
without error messages, and without any manual intervention (e.g.
termination with ESC). In the case of errors, the copy procedure must be
repeated.
If problems occur during the data transfer (frequent terminations), we
recommend the following procedure:
•
If the first file (IBS_BEDI.386) was transferred without errors, the BRIDGE
CS-L2 can be rebooted with the new emergency utility disk (press MRES
during switch-on). Together with the new ASBEDIEN V1.06, an error free
transfer can be expected.
•
Before the next RESET, the files IBS_BEDI.386 and STARTER.386 must
be successfully transferred.
Before starting the UPDATE activities (pulling the memory card), please ensure that a
current backup of any files that are to be modified exists. This will allow the previous
software version to be restored in the even of unforeseen circumstances.
Switch off the BRIDGE CS-L2 before pulling the memory card!
Copy the files listed under 2.3.1 from the update diskette into a new directory having the
'name' of your PG740.
For the update, insert the memory card into the MEM-CARD slot of the PG740. Now copy
all files from the directory 'name' onto the memory card (either using the file manager or
explorer, or using a DOS box):
COPY
name
\*.* E: /y
Now perform the following two steps:
1) Plug the upgraded memory card of the Bridge back into the allocated BRIDGE CS-L2
and initiate a reboot of the BRIDGE CS-L2 (reset or off/on).
2) Install the new terminal program ASBEDIEN V1.06 to your PC from the second
diskette included with your delivery (IBS tools).
