To load the correct software inside the simulator you must behave like in front of a “true” unit,To load the correct software inside the simulator you must behave like in front of a “true” unit,

That’s using the Smart key or the winload software:That’s using the Smart key or the winload software:

Smart key is an electronic device used to program and service pCO system or µC3 family controllers.Smart Key simplifies the transfer of data between pCO controllers and PC by exploiting the high capacity flash memory for storing software applications, Bios and variable logs.

I WANT TO TRANSFER FILES FROM THE COMPUTER TO THE SMARTKEY

In order to permit the transfer of the data from the computer to the Smartkey, it is necessary to use the Smartkey usb converter (the white one). Through this converter the key will take the supply from the computer. When the leds of this converter will start blinking, it means that the connection is ok.

If it’s the first time the converter is used, the drivers are mandatory and must be installed once connected the converter.

It’s important selecting the correct serial port, otherwise the connection won’t start.

Smart key has a sufficient memory, able to store a kit with a lot of languages, but it can save only one kit per time.

I WANT TO TRANSFER FILES FROM THE COMPUTER TO THE pCO

In order to permit the transfer of the data from the computer to the Smartkey, what is needed is only the USB convert. This converter permits permits the connection between USB and RS485.

If it’s the first time the converter is used, the drivers are mandatory and must be installed once connected the converter.

It’s important selecting the correct serial port, otherwise the connection won’t start.

If there is the need to upload also the bios, it is important to install as first the bios, and then the application files.
