Chapter33OperationThe ProLINE-RoadRunner operates with a set of job instructionsthat can be configured and contained on a PCMCIA memory card. Theinstructions provide a detailed description of the programming requirementsfor a particular semiconductor device or group of devices. A PCMCIA cardis referred to as a job card after a set of instructions are written to it. Theremay be more than one set of instructions on the PCMCIA memory card, withthe maximum number depending upon the card’s memory capacity. However,one set per card is recommended.Within the two levels offunctions mentionedhere, there are manymenu commands to customizeRoadRunneroperation.There are two levels of functions:• those performed by an operator• those performed by the supervisorSome of the functions of the RoadRunner, like calibration, are only availableto the system supervisor. Additionally, RoadRunner job creation is generallyconsidered a system supervisor function.The RoadRunner operator performs specific functions concerned with runningprogramming jobs while a system supervisor has the ability to setRoadRunner operational parameters, view operational statistics and performvarious diagnostic routines. Create programming jobs using TaskLink forWindows.Operator FunctionsThis section describes operator steps for setting up RoadRunner to Programdevices.Basic Operator StepsTo set up RoadRunner to Program Devices, the operator must:1.

The three colored lamps illuminate whilethe system starts and the RoadRunner performs a Self-test of its internalelectronics and sensors. When it is ready to accept commands, only the bluelamp will be on. Verify that there are no errors indicated on the Keypad Display.3—2 Data I/O • ProLINE-RoadRunner Owner’s Manual • 096-0240 [updated Mar2010]
