Introduction
Note: Within this instruction, the term PC refers to the device on which the utility software is loaded. The term, PC, can be
either a desktop personal computer or else a laptop computer.

This instruction assists in programming the multiline-2 controller, part number 238-4635 using the Cat version NEXG-5078 of
the utility software.

Configuration file changes supplied by the manufacturer cause programming issues. A controller that uses new Cat version
configuration files cannot be programmed using a PC that is loaded with the old (DEIF) utility software.
Set Repostería 34 Piezas Azul
When the incorrect utility software is used in order to program the controller, the controller may not operate correctly. For Bakers Dreams & Beginers.

example, the starter relay may not operate if incompatible software is used. If the Cat version configuration file is downloaded $1.099
to the controller using the latest Cat version NEXG-5078 utility software, then the controller should operate correctly.

This special instruction provides information of how to determine the compatibility of software versions that are loaded in both 45%OFF
the controller and the PC. This special instruction provides information of how to determine if the versions are incompatible

and the method for updating the software.

For controllers that are in service and operating correctly, no action is needed. This instruction only applies when
programming or reprogramming is required when connected to a PC.

Installing the CAT Controller Software

If CAT utility software is installed in the PC, then in order to ensure compatibility, CAT controller software is required on the
controller. The following sections discuss the procedure for installing the CAT software in the controller. The process consists
of:

Uploading the parameters from the controller in order to create a parameter file [OPTIONAL]

Downloading the CAT configuration file to the controller

Downloading the optionally created parameter file to the controller [OPTIONAL]

Adjusting the parameters that were optionally downloaded to the controller as required [OPTIONAL]

Uploading the Parameters from the Controller [OPTIONAL]

If the existing parameters are to be downloaded into the controller, then the parameters must first be uploaded to the PC
using the following procedure. This procedure must be completed prior to loading the CAT controller software into the
controller.

1. On the toolbar at the left of the window, select Parameters. The device icon toolbar opens.

Illustration 8 g01218713

2. On the device icon toolbar, select the Upload parameters icon (4). The system begins transferring file data from the
controller.

3. After the data transfer is complete, select File and then select Save.

4. Enter the name under which the file is to be saved.

5. Select Save in order to save the new parameters to the designated file.

Downloading the CAT Configuration File to the Controller

Note: If desired, ensure that the existing parameters have been uploaded from the controller before the CAT configuration file
is downloaded to the controller. Once the CAT configuration file is downloaded, the existing parameters can no longer be
accessed.

Connect to the controller and then download the CAT configuration file from the PC to the controller. The following sections
discuss this process.

Connect to the Controller

1. Remove the front cover of the controller.

2. Perform the following in order to upload the information from the controller. Connect a null modem cable from the
communication port in the PC to the service port on the controller.
Note: A null modem cable can be ordered. Use part number 243-3143 (part of 243-3142 Controller Service GP ).

Note: If a cable is not available, a cable can be built according to the wiring diagram in Illustration 9.

https://avspare.com/catalog/cat/content/i02437588/ 6/11

Illustration 9 g01218992
Attach the shield (5) of the null modem cable to the metallic casing of the plugs. If the plugs have non-metallic casings, then
leave the shield unconnected.

Note: There is no need to connect the front cover in order to communicate with the PC. However, the front cover must
be connected in order to operate the controller. Operation of the controller is accomplished while connected to the PC.
Connection to the PC requires a 1U-9484 Cable Harness from the controller to the front cover. The 1U-9484 Cable
Harness is part of the 243-3142 Controller Service GP .

Illustration 10 g01219478
