Chapter 2. Communication

Downloading the Operating System

Before you can use the bus-based controller within your application you must first download

the operating system (6000 Series Command Language). The file called AT6nnn.OPS on

the supplied DOS Support Software Diskette contains the operating system. Use the file

called AT6nnn.EXE to download the operating system.

As an example, to download the controller's operating system, type AT6nnn at the DOS

prompt and the operating system (AT6nnn.OPS) will be downloaded from the PC-AT to I/O

address 768 (300H), the default address for bus-based controllers.

If the controller is addressed other than the default (768), then a command switch is required.

Instead of typing AT6nnn, type AT6nnn /port=address, where the word “address” is

replaced by the address value that you set with the DIP switch on the controller's PC-AT card

(refer to your product's Installation Guide for optional DIP switch settings). For example,

if you set the address to decimal 800 (320H), then you would download the operating system by

typing AT6nnn /port=8ØØ.

If you would like to suppress the messages displayed when downloading the operating system,

type AT6nnn /quiet.

If you would like to pause after downloading the operating system and wait for an operator to

press any key, type AT6nnn /pause.

If the operating system is not located in the default directory or in the same directory as the

AT6nnn.EXE file, the path is not searched; this would require you to specify the path of the

operating system on the command line. The path must be specified before any other command

switches. Instead of typing AT6nnn, type AT6nnn \pathname\AT6nnn.OPS. For

example, if the operating system was located in the sub-directory project1, then type

AT6nnn \project1\AT6nnn.OPS.

Downloading

Error

If the operating system does not download properly, an error message will be displayed. This

error can result from an invalid address or an incompatible transfer mode. Downloading error

codes are listed on page 243.

If the error is a result of an invalid address, verify the address DIP switches on the controller's

AT card (refer to your product's Installation Guide for details).

If the error is a result of an incompatible transfer mode, change DIP switch #8 on DIP switch

bank #1 on the controller's AT card from ON (16-bit mode) to OFF (8-bit mode). The 8-bit

mode may be required for reliable bus communications. By switching to the 8-bit mode,

communication between the controller and the PC-AT will be slowed. Refer to your product's

Installation Guide for details.

Downloading

Methods

There are three ways to download the operating system within your application. The operating

system can be downloaded upon system power-up, from a batch file, or from the application

program itself.

Download upon

System Power-up

From within the AUTOEXEC.BAT file, execute the AT6nnn.EXE file. This will require

specifying the path in which the AT6nnn.EXE file is located. Refer to your DOS manual for

more information on the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.

For example, the INSTALL.EXE program provided with the DOS Support Disk places the

AT6nnn.EXE file in the sub-directory AT6nnn. The following statement would be placed in

the AUTOEXEC.BAT file: \AT6nnn\AT6nnn.EXE \AT6nnn\AT6nnn.OPS

/port=768.

Download from a

Batch File

Create a batch file that contains the command to download the AT6nnn operating system

(AT6nnn) and the application program name itself. Refer to your DOS manual for more

information on batch file operations.
