Safety measures
The following safety measures have been implemented to
minimize the risk of errors during the upload process.
• When the software is uploaded from the computer to the
PI54 cabinet, the data are stored in a scratch pad (buffer).
The data are not transferred to the Flash PROM (the
microprocessor’s storage area) until all software data have
been transferred correctly to the scratch pad.
