SIMPL Program

Use this function to upload the SIMPL program to the control system.

The Program Information area lists data about the program currently loaded in the control system.

Select the memory location where the program will be saved: Internal Flash or Compact Flash.
Select the Send SIG File check box to send the SIG file to the device. The SIMPL Debugger Tool uses the SIG file during debugging. Normally you must provide this file locally when starting a debugging session. By sending it to the device, the Debugger Tool can retrieve it automatically for use as needed.
Click the Browse button and locate the .lpz file you want to upload. As you select programs they will be listed in the Send Program list for quick access.
Click Send to transfer the program to the control system. This will overwrite the current program and also send the default IP Table, if any exists. If the default IP Table is different than the control system's current IP Table you will be prompted to overwrite the current IP Table.

The SIMPL Program Load (Please Wait...) progress window displays the maximum time remaining to load the SIMPL Program to the target device.
To manage the current program use the buttons in the Current Program group box. You can use these buttons to Stop, Restart, Erase... or Retrieve the program.
Click Retrieve to retrieve the current program and save it on the hard drive before uploading a new program.

For 3-Series control systems

Select Bypass auto start/stop of dependent programs check box.

On devices with multiple programs, there is a level of order dependency. By default, Toolbox stops whatever programs are running, then sends the new program, next it restarts each program in order to ensure the behavior you see now is consistent. This process can take a long time; therefore, you can choose to bypass it.
Select the Program Number.

If the device supports multiple programs, there will be a drop-down above the Program Information area to select which program “slot” you’re looking at and to determine what program your actions will affect (stop, restart, send etc). When you select a program file, Toolbox looks at the file and using the “ProgramID Tag” defined in SIMPL (or SB or CDS) will match it to either an existing program slot if found or the first empty program slot and select it appropriately. This is a suggestion only and if you wish to change it, you can do so AFTER making the file selection.

Select the Send SIG File check box to send the SIG file to the device. The SIMPL Debugger Tool uses the SIG file during debugging. Normally you must provide this file locally when starting a debugging session. By sending it to the device, the Debugger Tool can retrieve it automatically for use as needed.

Select the Always send default IP table without asking check box to send the IP table associated with the program without being prompted.
