Microsoft IC693CPU364 Computer Accessories User Manual


 
2 Important Product Information
GFK-1490C
The CPU364 provides network communications using SRTP (Service Request Transfer Protocol) over standard
TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol) on an Ethernet Local Area Network (LAN). The
CPU364 supports communications with other IC693 PLCs and/or IC697 PLCs equipped with TCP/IP Ethernet
Interfaces, and with MS-DOS TCP/IP programming software and applications which use the TCP/IP Host
Communications Toolkit (HCT) Software.
Hardware Identification
The following table shows the revision level of the circuit boards used in this version (-AC) of the IC693CPU364. If
you wish to upgrade an existing CPU364 to firmware version 9.10, you may purchase the kit identified in the following
table. All previous versions are capable of being upgraded.

Functional Compatibility
The Windows PLC Programming Software version 2.00 or later must be used to take advantage of C programming
or Sequential Function Chart (SFC) subroutines.
Version 4.00 or later of the C toolkit must be used for C programming.
The MS-DOS PLC Programming Software Version 9.02 or later must be used to take advantage of the new features
introduced in firmware release 9.00. These new features are listed in the section “New Features and Functionality
of Firmware Release 9.00.” Note that the CPU363 can be configured with the MS-DOS PLC Programming
Software Version 9.01, but only features prior to firmware release 9.00 are supported in that software version.
The Windows PLC Programming Software version 2.20 or later or VersaPro version 1.00 or later is required for
configuration of the Ethernet Global Data and configurable Name Resolution features of the 364 PLC.
Operating Notes
User Flash Contents
User information, consisting of program, configuration, CPU ID (used for SNP communications), and status tables in
RAM memory, will automatically be cleared if the CPU firmware in flash memory is changed. You will need to restore
these if upgrading firmware. A recommended procedure is to first back up your user information from RAM memory
to Flash memory. Then write your new firmware to Flash memory (firmware is stored in a different location in Flash
memory than that used for storing user information such as program, configuration, etc.). Finally, write your user
information back out of Flash into RAM memory. As an alternative, your user information (program, configuration,
etc.) can be restored from a computer-based backup program folder using your PLC programming software. The SNP
ID must be set separately, using the programming software or the Hand-Held Programmer (HHP).
