K:XXX>XX Press MENU ( ) to modify the fth hard-key character.
K:XXXX>X Press EXECUTE to advance to the sixth hard-key character.
K:XXXX>X Press MENU ( ) to modify the sixth hard-key character.
Press ESCAPE to exit the menu and save the desired hard-key code.
Press RESET to exit the menu without saving.
The menu will automatically timeout after 2 minutes of inactivity and save.
NOTE: Be sure to record and le the hard-key code on page 23 for future reference.
26. SERIAL# View the microcontroller’s unique six-character silicone serial number.
XXXXXX Shows the unique six-character serial number
27. VERSION View the microcontroller’s software version.
VER X.X Shows the microcontroller’s software version.
28. EEPROM View the type of EEPROM memory module plugged in.
All DPC-12 and DPC-24 control modules are equipped with a removable EEPROM
memory module. The EEPROM memory module inserts into the PORT1 connector
located on the upper left-hand side of the board, and may be removed for safe
storage.
The EEPROM type is programmed for parameter (P) or rmware (F) operation. A
parameter EEPROM is used to backup all of the current conguration settings. A
rmware EEPROM is used to update the current rmware version running on the
DPC-24/12 microcontroller to the rmware version saved on the EEPROM.
The EEPROM memory module supplied with all DPC-12 and DPC-24 control
modules is a parameter type with all of the factory default conguration settings saved
onto it before shipping.
DPC-12-P Indicates the EEPROM memory module is for a DPC-12 microcontroller.
DPC-24-P Indicates the EEPROM memory module is for a DPC-24 microcontroller.
DPC-24-P Indicates the EEPROM type is programmed for parameter (P) operation.
XXXXXX Press EXECUTE to display the silicone serial number parameter.
DISABLED Press EXECUTE and menu feature is disabled for factory use only.
DPC-24-F Indicates the EEPROM type is programmed for rmware (F) operation.
VER X.X Press EXECUTE to display the version (VER) of the rmware.
DISABLED Press EXECUTE and menu feature is disabled for factory use only.
NONE! Indicates the EEPROM memory module is not installed.
29. FW-LOAD Load new rmware into the microcontroller via the EEPROM memory module.
If a rmware update is required, Johnson Systems Inc. may supply an EEPROM
memory module with the latest rmware version. The rmware EEPROM memory
module can be inserted into PORT1 connector located on the upper left-hand side of
the board, and the rmware can be loaded into the microcontroller.
Press EXECUTE to enter the menu.
DISABLED This menu is disabled to help prevent inadvertent changes. Proceed to enable.
ENABLED Press and hold MENU ( ) and MENU ( ) at the same time for 4-5 seconds.
MEMCHECK Automatically checks the EEPROM memory module for rmware type.
CRC-TEST Automatically does a CRC test on the rmware code in the EEPROM.
>>>>>>>> CRC test in progress.
VER X.X Displays the rmware version on the EEPROM memory module.
UPDATE?? Press EXECUTE to proceed.
SURE ??? Press EXECUTE to proceed.
