Compiling and Uploading a Program to the
Control System
After you have completed your SIMPL Windows program for the QM-RMC,
you must compile and upload the program to the control system.
To compile the program, simply click the Convert/Compile button
on the
SIMPL Windows toolbar, or select Project | Convert/Compile (you can also
press F12). A status bar indicates the progress of the compile operation. After
the operation is complete, a window displays information about the program
such as the number and type of signals, and memory usage.
The compiled program is stored as an SPZ file in the same directory as the
source file. There are a number of ways to upload an SPZ file to the control
system.
1. Immediately after compiling the program you have the option to transfer
the file to the control system.
2. Alternatively, click the Transfer button
on the SIMPL Windows
toolbar, or open Viewport and click File Transfer | Send Program.
3. Click Browse, locate the SPZ file and click Open. This displays the
program's header information and enables one or both of the What to
Send check boxes. If the program does not contain any SIMPL+
modules, only the SIMPL Program check box is enabled. If it does
contain SIMPL+ modules, then the SIMPL+ program(s) check box is
also enabled. Select one or both check boxes and then click Send
Program to begin the transfer.
NOTE: Unlike X-Generation processors, the 2-Series processor does not
require a permanent memory image. Also, the 2-Series adds the ability to
automatically retrieve the current program from the control system. Simply
verify that the Retrieve Current Program Before Overwriting check box is
selected.
You can also click Report Program Information or F7 from Diagnostics in
Viewport to display the header information of the currently loaded program.
Program information is also displayed in the Viewport console whenever power
is removed and re-applied to the QM-RMC.
