Command virtualisation
Whenever a pGD terminal is connected to a c.pCO, the pGD terminal
displays the corresponding user interface. The command is sent from
the terminal, however it is the controller that executes the operation to
release or acquire the terminal.
Example 1
A: the release command on terminal 21 releases c.pCO 3 from terminal
21, and this is then assigned to c.pCO 1;
B: the release command on terminal 21 releases c.pCO 1 from terminal 21,
and this is then assigned to c.pCO 2.

6.6 Uploading/updating the software
It is possible to load/update the application software of the c.pCO
controllers family with the following methods:
• Update from computer by using c.factory (via USB or Ethernet
connection
• Update via USB ash drive
• Update with le transfer via FTP (see par. FTP commands)
• Update via tERA cloud service
The c.factory software is part of the “c.suite”, but it can be also installed
individually, downloading it from http://ksa.carel.com under “Software &
Support”->“c.suite”.
Update from computer using c.factory
On all c.pCO family controllers, the application program can be uploaded
by using the c.factory software, with direct connection to the controller
via USB cable or Ethernet network. To upload the application program,
proceed as follows:
a) Update from computer using c.factory via Ethernet connection:
Congure the computer and the c.pCO controller so that they belong to
the same LAN (see paragraph 9.2).
1. Open c.factory and select the application program le compiled in
c.strategy tool (“.otr” le extension). The tool will list the congurations
dened in c.design. Select the conguration to be loaded on the
controller and click “next”.
