Presentation
The TSX PRG LDR module, which is compact and easy-to-use, offers the following
functions for TSX Nano and TSX Micro PLCs :
• Permanent backup (in FLASH EPROM) of an application (program and constants)
• Fast duplication of applications and setting of the PLC to run mode after transfer
• Updating of applications on site without the need for a programming terminal
PLC memories used during application transfer
The module reads the application in the RAM of the TSX Nano or TSX Micro PLC.
The module writes the application to :
• the RAM of the TSX Nano or TSX Micro PLC with an application smaller than 15 Kwords
which do not have a PCMCIAcard,
• the backup memory of the PLC :
- EEPROM for TSX Nano PLCs,
- FLASH EPROMfor TSX Micro PLCs with an application smaller than 15 Kwords which
do not have a PCMCIA card.
! Caution
Once the write operation is complete, the PLC automatically switches to RUN, unless it is
conditioned by an input for this purpose.
This product must not be connected to any port other than the terminal port.
Physical description
1- 8-pin mini-DIN plug (RS 485 type) for
connection to the PLC terminal port
2- 4 indicator lamps
OK : module operating.
Error : faults (see page 3).
Write to TSX : writes an application to the PLC.
Read from TSX : reads an application from the PLC.
3- Two buttons
W/R : selects the direction of transfer, Write
to TSX or Read from TSX.
Enter : launches the selected transfer.
4- Two micro-switches
Write only : inhibits the direction of transfer,
Application Protection : used to read-protect the
application after it has been transferred.

Writing an application
To transfer an application contained in the loader, the PLC connected must be the same
type as that declared in the application.

The Write Only option is used to read-protect the loader and thus avoid overwriting the
application stored in the loader by a read error.

Protecting the application
Procedure
1 Read from a PLC where the application is not protected.
2 Set the Application Protection switch to ON.
3 Transfer the application to the target PLC.
! Important
In order to ensure the integrity of the application, the Application Protection option
cannot be reversed. Setting the switch from ON to OFF overwrites the application stored
in the loader module.
Types of error and diagnostics
The following table summarizes the errors which may occur :

Other limitations
Transfers of applications used as I/O to TSX Nano (rotary selector switch in positions 1,2,3,4) are
not permitted.
TSX Micro applications with a transmission speed and format for the terminal port in UNITELWAY master mode which are not configured for the standard cannot be managed by the
program loader module.
The various transfers permitted
The module services and functions are managed by switches located on the base of the unit.
