the software name is “oRIGInaL” or “uPDatE.”
the former indicates an original file and the latter
an update file. Whenever performing a download
to update the device revision, obtain the original

blocks requires a device revision update.
A6.6 Steps after Activating
a Field device
When the communication with a field device has
recovered after activating the device, check using
the download tool that the software revision of the
field device has been updated accordingly. the
value of SoFt_REV of the resource block indicates
the software revision.
the PD tag, node address, and transducer block
calibration parameters that are retained in the
nonvolatile memory inside the target device will
remain unchanged after a software download.
However, after a software update which causes
an addition to the block parameters or blocks, or
to the system/network management VFD parameters,
some parameters may be reset to the defaults,
thus requiring parameter setup and engineering
again. For details, see the table below.
also note that a change in the number of parameters
or blocks requires the DD and capabilities files
corresponding to the new software revision.
