DF/DT - Download Firmware

Purpose:
Downloads a new firmware version. These commands are designed as part of a
sequence that is normally performed and controlled by the Composer program, which
reads the firmware update file provided by Elmo, and performs a sequence of actions
that includes the DF/DS command.

This command is used only by the Elmo Composer.

Notes:

After new firmware is downloaded, the drive reboots. All data stored

in temporary variables in the RAM is lost.

Loading new firmware does not normally affect the non-volatile

application variables in the data flash memory. Downloading a major
software revision may, however, destroy the non-volatile data. The
Composer program will warn you of risks of non-volatile data losses.

The DT command is used for downloading the new firmware version

to the motion control processor.

SimplIQ for Steppers must use an updated Composer program that

correctly identifies SimplIQ for Steppers.
