Introduction
Note: Within this instruction, the term PC refers to the device on which the utility software is loaded. The
term, PC, can be either a desktop personal computer or else a laptop computer.

This instruction assists in programming the multiline-2 controller, part number 238-4635 using the Cat
version NEXG-5078 of the utility software.

Configuration file changes supplied by the manufacturer cause programming issues. A controller that uses
new Cat version configuration files cannot be programmed using a PC that is loaded with the old (DEIF)
utility software.

When the incorrect utility software is used in order to program the controller, the controller may not operate
correctly. For example, the starter relay may not operate if incompatible software is used. If the Cat version
configuration file is downloaded to the controller using the latest Cat version NEXG-5078 utility software,
then the controller should operate correctly.

This special instruction provides information of how to determine the compatibility of software versions that
are loaded in both the controller and the PC. This special instruction provides information of how to
determine if the versions are incompatible and the method for updating the software.

For controllers that are in service and operating correctly, no action is needed. This instruction only applies
when programming or reprogramming is required when connected to a PC.

Compatibility Process Flow

The correct files must be loaded in both the controller and in the PC in order to ensure compatibility between
the two devices. Use the process flow in this section in order to ensure that the latest configuration file is
loaded into the controller. Use the process flow in this section to ensure that the latest utility software is
installed on the PC.

Each step within the process flow is described in detail in later sections of this Special Instruction.
Illustration 17 provides a single page reference flow chart of the complete process.

1. Determine which version of the software is loaded on the PC.

2. Determine which version of the software is loaded on the controller.

3. Referring to Table 2, determine whether an upgrade to either the PC or to the controller is needed in
order to ensure compatibility.

Installing the CAT Controller Software

If CAT utility software is installed in the PC, then in order to ensure compatibility, CAT controller software is
required on the controller. The following sections discuss the procedure for installing the CAT software in
the controller. The process consists of:

Uploading the parameters from the controller in order to create a parameter file [OPTIONAL]

Downloading the CAT configuration file to the controller

Downloading the optionally created parameter file to the controller [OPTIONAL]

Adjusting the parameters that were optionally downloaded to the controller as required [OPTIONAL]

Uploading the Parameters from the Controller [OPTIONAL]

If the existing parameters are to be downloaded into the controller, then the parameters must first be
uploaded to the PC using the following procedure. This procedure must be completed prior to loading the
CAT controller software into the controller.

1. On the toolbar at the left of the window, select Parameters. The device icon toolbar opens.

Illustration 8 g01218713

2. On the device icon toolbar, select the Upload parameters icon (4). The system begins transferring file
data from the controller.

Media Search - REHS2916 - Programming Instructions for the Multili... [Link]

3. After the data transfer is complete, select File and then select Save.

4. Enter the name under which the file is to be saved.

5. Select Save in order to save the new parameters to the designated file.

Downloading the CAT Configuration File to the Controller

Note: If desired, ensure that the existing parameters have been uploaded from the controller before the CAT
configuration file is downloaded to the controller. Once the CAT configuration file is downloaded, the
existing parameters can no longer be accessed.

Connect to the controller and then download the CAT configuration file from the PC to the controller. The
following sections discuss this process.

Connect to the Controller

1. Remove the front cover of the controller.

2. Perform the following in order to upload the information from the controller. Connect a null modem
cable from the communication port in the PC to the service port on the controller.

Note: A null modem cable can be ordered. Use part number 243-3143 (part of 243-3142 Controller
Service GP ).

Note: If a cable is not available, a cable can be built according to the wiring diagram in Illustration 9.

Illustration 9 g01218992

Attach the shield (5) of the null modem cable to the metallic casing of the plugs. If the plugs have non-metallic casings, then
leave the shield unconnected.

Note: There is no need to connect the front cover in order to communicate with the PC. However, the
front cover must be connected in order to operate the controller. Operation of the controller is
accomplished while connected to the PC. Connection to the PC requires a 1U-9484 Cable Harness
from the controller to the front cover. The 1U-9484 Cable Harness is part of the 243-3142 Controller
Service GP .
