Upgrading Firmware in the DGC-2020
Two scenarios are presented: (A) Upgrade DGC-2020 firmware and then load a settings file created with
an earlier firmware version, and (B) Save settings file from DGC-2020, upgrade DGC-2020 firmware, and
then load settings file back into the DGC-2020.
A. Upgrade DGC-2020 firmware and then load a settings file created with an earlier firmware version.

1. Upgrade the DGC-2020 firmware and language module.

a. Connect to the DGC-2020 with BESTCOMSPlus. Check the firmware Application Version

on the GENERAL SETTINGS-> DEVICE INFO screen.

b. If the firmware Application Version is greater than or equal to 1.00.00, proceed to the next

step. If it is less than 1.01.00 (i.e. it is of the form 1.00.zz, where zz is a 2-digit number),
then the language selection setting of the DGC-2020 must be set to English before
initiating the firmware upgrade. This is accomplished by selecting English on the
GENERAL SETTINGS->FRONT PANEL HMI->LANGUAGE SELECTION screen.
Failure to perform this step may result in incorrect operation of the DGC-2020.

c. Select

Upload Device Files

from the Communication pull-down menu. You do not have to

be connected to the DGC-2020 at this time. Save settings when prompted, if desired.

d. Open the desired device package file (

dgc-2020-_xxyyzz.bef, where  may

be additional descriptive text of varying length, and xx.yy.zz is the version number of the
device package file.)

e. Check the boxes for DGC-2020 Firmware and DGC-2020 Language Module. Note the

version number of the DGC-2020 firmware; this is the version that will be used to set the
Application Version in the settings file in a later step. This is NOT the same as the version
of the package file that is contained in the fields xx.yy.zz in the package file name.
