Upgrading the Operating System

This chapter describes how to update the DTAM operating system while
maintaining the current application file.

Note: If you want to change the operating system to a system that is
different from the current system, you must first download an application file
of that type.

For example, if an AB DH485 file is currently installed in the DTAM Plus
and you want to load an AB PLC-5 DF1 operating system, you must first
load an AB PLC-5 DF1 application file. You will be prompted to download
the new operating system with the application file.

This option lets you upgrade the Operating System currently installed in the
DTAM to AB DH485, PLC-5 DF1, or Remote I/O without changing the
application file.

To upgrade the operating system:

1. Select Upgrade Operating System on the Opening menu. You will be

prompted to select the communications port.

Note: This option is not displayed if a communication port was specified
during installation.

2. Select the serial port on your computer that is connected to the

DTAM (COMM 1 or COMM 2).
