Updating Firmware Under DOS and Windows 3.xx
You will need an IBM PC/AT compatible PC running MS-DOS (Revision 3.3 or later), Windows
3.11, or Windows NT 3.51, equipped with at least 640K free RAM, a 3.5 inch high-density
diskette drive, and an RS-232 serial port. The firmware update process is faster when 1 MB of
hard drive space is also available.
You may be able to run the Firmware Update Utility in an MS-DOS box under Microsoft
Windows
if your PC has all of the following:
A 486 or higher microprocessor;
A high speed serial port (16550AF or equivalent UART); and
Microsoft Windows 3.11 (including Windows for Workgroups 3.11), Windows 95, Windows
98, or Windows NT.
If you are not sure your PC has all of these, you will probably save time by exiting from Windows
and running the Firmware Update Utility directly from MS-DOS. The upgrade will be faster and
more reliable.
Under Windows, run the loader in full screen mode for best performance.
To install the new firmware, perform the following steps
1.
Connect either the COM1 or COM2 port on your PC to the Software Loader Port on your
Ethernet Interface.
For the Series 90-30 Ethernet Interface and the Series 90-70 Ethernet Interface (Type 2),
use cable assembly IC690ACC901.
For the Series 90-30 CPU364 Embedded Ethernet Interface, use serial cable
IC693CBL316A.
If you also use your PC to run Logicmaster 90 through COM1 or COM2, simply move the
cable connector from the PLC CPU to your Interface. The Firmware Update Utility is unable
to use COM3 or COM4.
2.
Insert the update diskette into the A or B floppy diskette drive of your PC.
3.
At the C:\> prompt, type a:install (or b:install if the diskette is in drive B)
followed by the Enter key. The install program will copy several files to your hard drive and
then run the Firmware Update Utility program. These files will be removed upon completion
of the update.
Install can also run from the floppy drive directly if there is no hard drive or not enough
space on the hard drive. To run from the floppy, type install at the A:\> (or B:\>) prompt
followed by the Enter key.
4.
The Firmware Update Utility uses the COM1 port of your PC by default. If you connected
your cable to COM1, skip the rest of this step. If you connected your cable to COM2, press
the F3 key from the Firmware Update Utility main menu. Then use Tab to select COM2, and
Enter to accept the new setting.
5.
Do not press any function keys in the Firmware Update Utility main menu until your
Ethernet Interface is ready to receive a firmware load. Follow these steps:
