How is a C/C++ program written to the controller using TelePACE?

A C/C++ logic program is typically written to the controller’s RAM and is done from the C/C++ Program Loader dialog. Only Back to FAQ's
executable files with the extension .abs (16-bit controllers) or .mot (32-bit controllers) can be written. Executable files are created using only the following third-party compiler software: Microtec C compiler for the 16-bit controllers and Hitachi C++ compiler for the 32-bit controllers. Both compilers are available from Control Microsystems.

To write a C/C++ executable file to the controller’s RAM:

Establish communication with the controller.
Select the Controller | C/C++ Program Loader command. The following dialog is displayed:

From the Write Options check boxes, select which program components are to be written to the controller. The C/C++ Program check box must be enabled in order to write a C/C++ program to the controller.
Choose the file to write to the controller by selecting the Browse button and browsing to the file location. Once the file has been selected, it will appear in the C/C++ Program File pull-down list.
Select the Write button. When the download progress bar indicates 100%, the writing procedure is completed.
Select the Run button to execute the C/C++ code in the controller.
Select the Close button to close the dialog.
