Echelon IzoT Commissioning Tool - Manual (Page 217)

Load Application

into the device.
Update Firmware in
Device to Match
Application Image Select this check box to load a new Neuron firmware image to
make the Neuron firmware on the device compatible with the new
application image file.
For a device to support Neuron firmware updates, it must be based
on a Nueron 5000 or Neuron 3150 core with a nonvolatile memory
layout supporting at least 32K starting from address 0.
If this check box is cleared, and there is a version of the selected
application image file that matches the current device firmware
(<appImage>fw<n>.apb, where n is the firmware version) in the
same folder of the selected application image file, IzoT
Commissioning Tool automatically loads that application image file
into the device. Otherwise, IzoT Commissioning Tool will load the
selected application image file into the device.
Note: A device may become inoperable if there is a power
failure during a firmware update.
Image Name Specify the pathname of the application image file (.apb or .nxe
extension).
If you are working on a remote client, IzoT Commissioning Tool
looks for the application image file on the OpenLNS Server.
Specify the full pathname (including the drive) of the application
image file on the OpenLNS Server. You cannot load an application
image file directly from a remote client computer onto a device.
XIF Name If you are loading an application image file with an .nxe extension,
select the pathname of the XIF file. IzoT Commissioning Tool
only requires the binary application and device interface files (.apb
and .xfb extensions); however, it automatically creates binary files
from existing text application and device interface files (.nxe and
.xif extensions) and saves them in the application file folder that
contains the corresponding .nxe file.
If you specified a XIF file for the device in the previous page in the
wizard (the Device Template page), you cannot select a different
XIF file. If an application image file is found in the same directory
as the XIF file of the device template, that directory is the default.
2. Click Next to continue. The Device Initial State page opens, unless you are loading new
application files into multiple devices with different device templates. In this case, this page is
repeated for each unique device template used by the selected devices. Once you have defined the
application image for all the selected devices, the wizard will then proceed to the Device Initial
State page.
