2.2 Connections
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The connections specific to the terminal (monitor, keyboard, mouse, printer) are
described in the manufacturer's documentation. This section therefore describes only
the installation of the software key and the following connections :
The connection of the terminal to the main power source.
The connection of the terminal to the PLC.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

2.2-1 Installing the software key

Install the software key in the empty slot in the software key support.

This operation must be done with the terminal powered down.

Note
The software key contains the right of use necessary to access the PL7-3 software.
The Key Manager delivered with the software workshop allows this right of use to be transferred
to the master key. This makes the PL7-3 software key unusable and it can therefore be removed,
thus freeing the corresponding slot on the software key support.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

2.2-2 Connection to the main power source

Before making any connections to the main power source, check that each of the
elements of the system is correctly adjusted to operate on your mains power voltage
(220V or 110V).

Then, observing the precautions indicated in the manufacturers' documentation, con-

nect the various elements to the main power source :
Terminal
RS232/current loop converter
PLC.

2.2-5 Connecting the IBM PS/2 or compatible PC to the PLC
This connection requires the TSX TAC 03 connection kit and is performed in three
steps :

1 Checking the configuration of the TSX TE 01 converter

The converter is normally adjusted at the factory, however it is advisable to check the
positions of the switches and jumpers :
Remove the cover from the case by inserting a screwdriver in one of the slots on the
side of the case and turning it until the cover can be lifted off.
Check that the positions of the 13 switches and the 4 jumpers are correct (see the
diagram below).
Set switch S4 to the required voltage : 110V or 220V.

of converter is used.

2.3 Software Installation
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

2.3-1 Preliminary steps

Before installing the PL7-3 software on the hard disk, it is recommended that you :
Read the license and guarantee certificates concerning the restrictions that apply to
copying and installing the software.
Make back-up copies of the original installation diskettes and use the back-up copies
to work with, so as to avoid accidental damage to the originals.

IMPORTANT
The PL7-3 diskettes are delivered set to the "write protect" position, which should not
be altered.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

2.3-2 Installation procedure

The following operations must be carried out before installing the PL7-3 software :
1 Check that the X-TEL or MINI X-TEL software workshop is already installed
(refer to the corresponding instruction manual).
Should this be the case, continue installing PL7-3. Otherwise you must install the
software workshop first (refer to the corresponding instruction manual).

2 Close all ongoing sessions (refer to the corresponding instruction manual).

 Installation 2
A
___________________________________________________________________________
Installing PL7-3 software
Start a full-screen OS/2 session,
Insert PL7-3 diskette No. 1 in the disk drive,
Identify the drive containing the diskette (a: or b:) and press <Enter>,
After the new prompt (for example : [a:\] or [b:\]), enter the command install and press
<Enter>,
Follow the procedure displayed on the screen : replace diskette No.1 by diskette No.2
when requested to do so and then press <Enter>,
When the installation is complete, insert the Grafcet OFB disk in the disk drive, then
enter the command install and press <Enter>,
When the installation is complete, install the OFBs in the PL7-DIAG family in the same
way (refer to the corresponding instruction manual).

Note
If PL7-3 already exists on the station where PL7-3 GLD or PL7-3 GLT is being installed, a warning
message is displayed. Installation can then be interrupted by pressing <Q> on the keyboard. The
same is also true when installing PL7-3, if PL7-3 GLD or PL7-3 GLT already exist on the station.

Important
Under OS/2 2.1, if the screen display under PL7-3 has been altered, reinstall the
X-TEL or MINI X-TEL software workshop using the command :
install FIX21
At the end of installation, reinitialise the work station using the command :
<Ctrl><Alt><Del>.
