5000CT B/W download Project to PICED

Hi All,
I'm having trouble getting a project out of a
5000CT original B/W touchsceen
The unit seems to operate correctly, the screen is all garbled but still good enough to work with
Toolkit finds the unit ok, i can connect to the unit and have used toolkit to change the unit address from 0 to 255
But it wont download via the cbus connection using any address. i have only done this 2 or 3 times before so can't think why it isn't working.
I do have a 5000CTD2 B/W desktop unit and that works ok

Any ideas please...

specs are...
cbus F/W 4.5.00
Ctouch F/W 3.80.0

Toolkit Ver 1.15.6
Piced Ver 4.13.1.45

 

Transferring projects via cbus to a 5000CT was always a slow and unreliable process. You would be much better off using the serial connection. At least that way you know if the screen actually works.

Also, you can't retrive a project from the original 5000CT via CBUs or serial anyway.

Also, also, be careful downloading projects via cbus without checking if they have matching firmware. You can't transfer firmware over cbus and if you transfer a project file from a newer version of PICED that supports more recent firmware than in the device you will brick it and it's a pain to recover.

 

Cheers Ashley,
Always greatfull for your advise will try the serial comms on Tuesday... is there a pinout available for the RJ45 serial connector.

 

It's the same as the PCI serial interface and PAC which is in their respective manuals. Let me know if you can't find it.
