3. Introduction
The Windows-based program SCARP is a supplement to the drives, auxiliary and TCMS systems of
Strukton-Systems. This program allows the user to communicate with the drive, auxiliary converters or
TCMS system for download of registrations, analyze registrations and configure the drive to meet the
customers requirements. During testing and commissioning the program is used to monitor and check
the drives behaviour.
The program is meant for the customers maintenance crew as well as for the engineers of Strukton-
Systems.
The communication between drive system and PC/Server is based on Ethernet or Serial
communication.
- The following screen appears, when opening the Scarp Config Tool for the first time probably with
notes of exclamation.

6. Upload Bootloader
6.1 Upload Bootloader
For uploading the bootloader a three-wire serial connection with connector X92 and a jumper for
connecting pins 7-8 (RTS-CTS) is needed.
Also a dongle is needed.
For pin connection serial cable see attachment. The connection between pin 7 and 8 is
required to bring the board in programming mode.
Switch off the power supply and connect the serial cable between the PC and the board.
Power up the board.
Select Project->Upload bootloader or type <control>B and go to the left bottom of the screen
to the bootloader section.
Select the correct comport and baudrate.
Leave the bootstraploader field empty. In the bootloader/microcontroller field select the correct
hex file.
Click "start".
If loading fails, switch the power off and back on again and then directly click on "start". This
sometimes helps.
When the watchdog timeout LEDs are flashing:
power off;
remove jumper 7-8;
power on;
push the S to get in Safe mode
The firmware is uploaded successfully when the text hex file programming complete appears in the
text field.
Once the programming has finished switch off the board, remove the connection between pin
7 and 8. Then power on the board again. Wait at least 1-2 minutes before performing a
discovery because it takes some time for the flash to be formatted.

If required program the board properties. The hardware version for an AMC board is "a04".
Also the projectID needs to be filled in correctly "0000388018". The installation number, board
serienr and MAC address should be filled in according to administration Strukton but are not
important to get the board up and running.
Perform another discovery if required and load the SCARP configuration. The board should be
up and running.
If the board does not start up it may be necessary to format the external flash first. Switch off
the board, and using a terminal program, continuously press the letter "f". Power on the board.
The external flash will now be formatted. Exit the terminal program.
The board properties are still available but are in RAM. With SCARP select Project->Upload
bootloader and save the board properties to external flash.
The Mac address needs to be within the Strukton range. The last two digits (hex) are the same as the
board serial number (dec). Herefore the board serial number must be converted from decimal to
hexadecimal. This is documented in doc 2077PCBAdmin.xls.
