NOTE
the download tool can not execute download-
ing during other system connects to the system/
network management VFD of the device.
A6.4 Software download
Sequence
the flowchart below outlines the software down-
load procedure. although the time taken for the
entire procedure varies depending on the size of
the field bus device’s software, it generally take
about 20 minutes where there is a one-to-one
connection between a fieldbus device and down-
load tool, and longer when multiple field devices
are connected to the fieldbus.

Figure A6.2 Flow of Software download Procedure
CAUTION
Carrying out a software download leaves the PD
tag, node address, and transducer block calibration
parameters that are retained in the nonvolatile
memory inside the target device, but may reset
other parameters to the defaults (except a minor
update that does not change the number of
parameters). Hence, where necessary, save the
parameters using an engineering tool, parameter
setting utility, or the like before carrying out a
software download, and then reconfigure the
field device(s) after the download. For details,
see Section a6.6.
CAUTION
the current dissipation of the target field device
increases transitorily immediately after a down-
load due to erasing of the FlashRoM’s contents.
use a fieldbus power supply which has sufficient
capacity to cover such increases in feed current.
CAUTION
upon completion of the activation, the target
fieldbus device performs resetting internally,
which temporarily halts fieldbus communication
and function block executions. Be especially
careful about a valve positioner; the output air
pressure will fall to the minimum level (i.e., zero).
CAUTION
Do not turn off the power to a field device or
disconnect the download tool during a download
or activation. the device may fail as a result.
NOTE
Be careful about the noise on the fieldbus link.
If the fieldbus is noisy, the downloading may
take a very long time or fail.
A6.5 download Files
Download files have the following filenames (with
the filename extension of “.ffd”). take care to
choose the correct download file for the target
field device:
“594543” + device family + “_” + device type +
“_” + domain name + “_” + software name + “_”
+ software revision + “.ffd”
For example, the name of the download file for
the Rotamass may have the following name:
594543000D_000D_RotaMaSS_oRIGInaL_
R201.ffd
Refer to a6.10(3) DoMaIn_HEaDER about each
keyword of the file name.
the device type is “000D” for the Rotamass .
