NOTE:
The analog outputs are open collector (low side switch) types with PWM modulation. So the output
physical quantity is always in %. 0% PWM means no current flows through the output, 100% means
full current. The full current is given by the supply voltage and resistance of the attached gauge. Learn
more about analog output wiring in the controller reference guide, section Installation.

NOTE:
The analog output on the IGS-PTM module is a 0-20mA current source, where 0% PWM is 0mA and
100% PWM is 20mA output current.

4.8.8 Conversion curves

Conversion curves are used for analog inputs (sensor-to-physical value conversion) as well as for
analog outputs (physical-to-gauge value conversion)

6.3 Programming firmware into a non-responding controller
If the controller does not contain valid firmware, a new firmware cannot be programmed standard way.
This situation can occur if the connection between PC and the controller was interrupted e.g. during
previous firmware upgrade. In such a case the controller has blank display and does not communicate
with the PC. The boot-jumper must be used to get a valid firmware into the controller.
Disconnect power supply from the controller, insert a communication module and close the boot-
jumper. See the controller manual for details about communication modules and boot jumper location.
Connect communication cable (appropriate type according to the module used) between the controller
and PC.

LiteEdit-4.6-Reference Guide_r1.pdf
All report which include either warnings or error messages are also stored in .txt document together
with upgraded archives in the target directory (this may be opened directly from the “Upgrade
summary” window after the upgrade process is finished).

Limitations:
 Archive upgrade is supported for all SW versions based on IL-NT controller (i.e. InteliLite
Classic Line controller archives are NOT supported!)
 Support of target archive versions is limited to all versions including Configuration format 4
and higher (i.e. it is not possible to convert archives into version with Configuration format 3
and lower)

 Only one TYPE of archive can be upgraded at the same time (multiple upgrade is only
possible for archives with the same type of application)
 Source archives may be chosen anywhere on your PC, but in case of multiple upgrade the
archives have to have different names (same names in one upgrade list are not allowed)
 Target SW version is chosen only from archives available on(imported to respective PC (in
case intended SW version is not available in the list it has to be imported into your PC first)
 It is not possible to convert one type of application to another one (AMF to MRS, AMF25 to
AMF20, SPtM to MINT, etc.)

8 Cloning
Use cloning function to create an identical copy of one controller to another one. This function can
help you in following situations:
 Replacing defective controller with another controller on one site.
 Production of more identical gen-sets.

The procedure:
A clone must be saved before it has to be used to create a cloned controller. To do this, create any
connection to the "original" controller and go to menu Controller -> Programming and cloning -> Save
for cloning.

"Save clone" window will appear. File name and description of the clone can be modified in this
window. Press "OK" button to save the clone. Clones are stored in "clones" subdirectory in the LiteEdit
home directory.

If you get an error message "Firmware XXXX was not found" instead of opening the "Save clone"
window, it means you do not have on your disk the firmware that is present in the controller, so the
clone can't be saved. In such a case the proper firmware has to be imported to the LiteEdit.

Now you can create one or more clones of the original controller. Go to menu Controller ->
Programming and cloning -> Create clone). This menu is available only if the connection is closed.

A window with list of available clones will appear. Please note, that only clones of the same type as
destination controller can be used (e.g. IL-NT AMF25).

Select the clone and press "OK" button to program it to the controller. LiteEdit will now establish the
connection with the controller and the firmware, configuration, setpoints, passwords and access code
will be programmed to the controller.
LiteEdit-4.6, Reference guide Rev.1, ©ComAp – January 2013 51
LiteEdit-4.6-Reference Guide_r1.pdf
NOTE:
During establishing of connection you will be asked for controller address and password filling in.

You can repeat the whole cloning process if more clones shall be created.
