The following operations can be performed with the programming GUI. The settings on the host machine are saved in

an INI file.

• ESF file creation

• Downloading program files, PR5 files and ESF files (saved into FP5 internal flash memory)

• Saving log files

• Editing program files (by using HEX editor)

• Checksum calculation

• Programming command execution (for Autoprocedure (E.P.), whether execution is completed normally is indicated by

beeps.)

• Execution of self-testing function

• Manager function (passwords, security, customization, etc.) setting

The FP5 can operate in standalone mode, whereby commands such as [Erase], [Program] and [Autoprocedure(E.P.)]

can be executed without using the host machine. It is suitable for use in production lines during mass production or

upgrading programs in the field.

The following can be performed in standalone operation.

• Execute programming command

• Confirm contents of each downloaded file

FP5 can be operated by communications commands from the host machine.

Writing and PASS/ERROR displays can be operated and confirmed from external control devices.

The following types of HEX files can be used as program files. These files can be in Intel HEX format or Motorola HEX

format.

• HEX file: A HEX file of Intel HEX format type or Motorola HEX format type without option data

• HCUHEX file: A HEX file that integrates option data into a HEX file

PR5 files (parameter file) contain parameter information required for writing programs to the flash memory in the target

device. Do not change the PR5 file data because it affects assurance of written data; otherwise, the programming GUI will

not recognize the PR5 file.

ESF files (customized setup file) contain the programming environment settings specific to the user environment and

PR5 file names. If the file contains invalid contents, the programming GUI will not recognize the ESF file.

The FP5 has a 16 MB flash memory area for saving program files. This memory area can be used as four 4 MB

programming areas (Area 0 to Area 3) or eight independent 2 MB programming areas (Area 0 to Area 7). Program files

can be downloaded to each programming area, and which file, PR5 or ESF, is to be saved is selectable in programming

area units. That is, files can be individually downloaded in each programming area, and the area used can also be

selected individually. Program files, PR5 files and ESF files are retained even if the FP5 power is turned off.
