1. Make sure that the terminal program is running and that it is set for 1200 Baud, 8,N,1 and

Software Flow Control (XON/XOFF).

2. Power the PLC rack up.

3. While in the terminal program, the startup screen for the 1746-C will be transmitted on power up.

This also occurs on module reset as well.

4. Press <ENTER> several times to make sure that there is correct communication.

(

The “>”, a line item caret, will appear every time you press it.)

5. Type in the command “CALL 100”.

(

The module then waits for an upload from the terminal program.)

------- ---------

6. Use the “Send Text File” command in your particular terminal program to send the file.

The appropriate file is in “Intel hex format” (

which is an ASCII text file) … all other formats will

create an error.

------- ---------

7. After the file is finished being transmitted, the “>” will appear on the terminal screen to indicate

finished.

8. Type “PROG2” and press <ENTER>.

The module will respond back with a successful dialog. If it doesn’t, repeat the previous step.

If you want (and can) communicate at a 9600 baud rather than 1200 baud, perform

the following NOW:

1. Type in the command : PUSH 9600

2. Type in the command: CALL 78

3. Change your terminal program over to 9600 baud.

4. Continue with the standard procedure.
