Please note that the legacy Cyclone Classic Automated Control software is no longer available, in any version. The reommendaed path for Cyclone control and automation is to update to a current Cyclone model. For help with the transition to the newer Cyclones, including a trade-in program which can defray the cost, please visit the Legacy Hardware Transition Support Page for more information. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PEmicro's Classic Cyclone Automated Control Package allows developers to automate the production programming process using PEmicro's Cyclone for Renesas, Cyclone PRO (legacy), Cyclone MAX (legacy), and Cyclone for STMicro (legacy) stand-alone programmers. One or more Cyclones can be controlled either from the command line or from within a customer's own application via the easy to use SDK. This includes launching programming, recovering results, managing images resident on a Cyclone, adding unique programming data for each target, and more. All of these tasks can be automated. Use the powerful toolset provided by the Classic Cyclone Automated Control Package to create an efficient, flexible, and robust production environment! For those using a Cyclone LC or Cyclone FX programmer we suggest working with the Cyclone Control Suite instead of the Classic Cyclone Automated Control Package. The Cyclone Control Suite is a collection of software components that comes integrated with the latest generation of Cyclone programmers and allows them to be controlled automatically from the PC. To see an example of a custom application using the Automated Control SDK to gang program multiple targets through multiple cyclones, see the following Expert's Corner. FEATURES:
PEmicro offers three different versions of the Classic Cyclone Automated Control Package. The functionality and pricing of each version varies - choosing the correct version will depend on your requirements. Please consult the chart below for product comparisons:

System Requirements
Windows 7/8/10
What's included:
Cyclone Launch Cyclone Launch is a command-line application that uses simple ASCII script files to Control Cyclone operations using a PC via USB, Ethernet, or RS-232. Using a simple ASCII text editor, the user can specify which Cyclone units to control and issue different commands for each Cyclone. It is also possible to issue the same commands simultaneously to all connected Cyclone units, which is ideal for production environments where multiple Cyclone units are programming the same data into their respective devices. Advanced operations such as dynamic data programming and Cyclone image maintenance are also fully supported. Cyclone Launch will get your production line up and running in minutes! Cyclone Control DLL The dynamic link library (DLL) included in the Classic Cyclone Automated Control Package allows custom software applications to directly control Cyclone programming operations via USB, Ethernet, or RS-232. The included documentation describes the intuitive, high-level application programming interface (API) in detail. To help facilitate the development process, example projects using the Cyclone Control DLL are included for the following environments:
RS232 / Ethernet Protocols (Enterprise Edition only) The Enterprise Edition of the Classic Cyclone Automated Control Package includes specifications for communicating directly with the Cyclone unit using RS232 or Ethernet connections. Instead of writing script files or using a DLL, the developer will directly send and receive data bytes on the RS232 serial port or Ethernet port. These protocols are generally used in situations where the production workstation is not running a Microsoft Windows-based operating system. |
