Figure 3.79 – Load New Firmware
The screen will then ask you to confirm the operation. Press the [F8]
key to proceed, or the [F9] key to abort. Performing a
DOWNLOAD FIRMWARE operation will overwrite the existing
firmware that is currently running.
Pressing the [F3] key may restart an aborted download or one that
failed prior to starting the download. To select or enter a different
filename, press the [F7] key.
Due to the nature of this operation, all other operator interface
functions will cease during a download. Once the download begins,
the operator interface’s screen will be unable to show any status
information. For this reason the two LEDs on the back of the
operator interface are used as such:
• Flashing Green - indicates that all is healthy and the transfer is
proceeding.
• Solid Red - the transfer has failed. Firmware must be loaded via
the method described in a) above. This is achieved by cycling
power to the operator interface or simultaneously pressing the
[cursor left] [cursor right] and [Enter] key at the same time while
the flash card is inserted. If more than one firmware file exists
on the card, the first one will be loaded and this process will need
to be repeated in order to select the firmware file you desire.
When the transfer completes successfully, the new firmware will
automatically begin operation. Refer to the section Operator
Interface Power-up Sequence.
WARNING:
Any time the operator interface is powered up
with a flash card inserted which contains a valid firmware *.FMW
file, the operator interface will attempt to load new firmware (note
item ‘a’ above). For this reason, it is not advisable to leave a
memory card containing a firmware file in the operator interface,
after the firmware has been downloaded.
