TRANSFER MASTER KEY TO A FLASH DRIVE

A special build of the EVMOVE Program has been created in response to the growing number of PC's and Laptops that are created without a Floppy Drive. The steps below will describe the appropriate way to move an activation file from a master (floppy) disk, or Hard Drive to a USB Flash Drive.

1. Format the USB Flash Drive to FAT32

Right Click the flash drive

Double click on Format… in the list pane

Note :

FAT or NTFS formats on the flash drive are not recommended and has not been proven to work well with this procedure

Make sure any information is copied off of the Flash Drive BEFORE the format. You can check the current format of a Flash Drive by right clicking it in

Windows Explorer and selecting Properties.

Step 17: Click Auto-Configure to reconfigure the driver at the RSLinx driver configuration window. Step 18: Click OK to exit the configuration window.

Step 19: Click Close to exit Configure driver window. NOTE : This only happens when a RS232 converter is used, as the converter uses a USB port as interface, the computer will register it with a random port unless it uses the same outlet. Computers with a built in RS232 port are always pre-configured to COM 1. (Unless stated)

Restoring Factory Defaults

SLC-500 processors

Note : The Ladder Program will be lost if a processor is returned to Factory Defaults.

Note : If a memory module that has been configured for auto load is installed, after performing a reset. The old program will be restored into the processor RAM memory.

SLC 500 Fixed I/O 1. Remove Power 2. Open CPU Compartment ( Series C units can not be factory reset ) 3. Disconnect Battery 4. Remove Memory Module ( 1747-M1 ) Skip step 4 if a Memory Module is not

Installed. 5. Locate RAM (IC3) 6. Connect Pins 14 and 28 (PWR & GND) with paper clip.

( See Diagram )

Note : The preferred connection method is to use a 10 Ohm Resistor

7. Short for 20 Seconds or More.
