8 Firmware upgrade
The encoder supports a firmware upgrade function. The firmware
upgrade function is developed to offer the possibility to upgrade
the encoders in the future.
Before the upgrade of the encoder can start, the following tools
are needed:
• A running TFTP server
• A WEB browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera etc.)
The encoder itself puts no restrictions on what TFTP server to
use. The customer can choose to use any TFTP servers.
Firmware upgrade in a PROFINET network.
• This is when the encoder is connected to a PROFINET net-
work. The encoder will be provided with an IP address from the
PROFINET IO controller (with DCP).
