Utilities - Upload Configuration
This option will upload all the SDB configuration file settings from the RTU (except for the site description
and TMR directory as these are not stored in the RTU). Ladder Logic can also be uploaded from the RTU if
the ladder edit file (FILENAME.LL) was stored in the RTU. The uploaded SDB information can be saved as a
configuration file by selecting File, Save As and entering a filename.
Note: ladder logic is stored in the RTU by checking the Store ladder logic files in RTU box in Configuration,
Memory and then downloading the RTU Configuration. Ladder logic can then be uploaded from the RTU by
using Logic, Advanced, Upload .LL File from RTU. The Logic menu is available when an SDB file is open
(displayed in front).
Utilities - Cold Start
A cold start clears all the RAM (including the
registers, event logs and ladder logic) and sets
all the IO modules to their default state. A cold
start is recommended before downloading a
new configuration into a local RTU.
Caution! Cold starting a remote RTU is not recommended. After a cold start, an RTU will remember the
configuration settings for the first 4 ports (8 ports for a PC-1/CP-1) but it is possible that communications will
be lost after the cold start.
Utilities - Swap Master
When using redundant CPUs, this command will swap the duty CPU and the standby CPU. For more
information, please see the appendix - Redundancy.
Utilities - PC System ID
This option is no longer available in Toolbox 1.44d or newer! When communicating with RTUs using
Toolbox, the PC is treated like another RTU. An RTU will only respond to messages with a system ID of AE
(default setting) or to messages using the RTU’s System ID.
Utilities - Read/Write System Reg
Advanced use.
Utilities - Upload Memory
Advanced use. Reads data from an RTU memory location and writes it to two files <filename>.BIN and
<filename>.TXT. The two files are stored in the Toolbox program folder. <filename> should be specified
without a path or extension. Eg. MEMORY1 not C:\MEMORY1.TXT
