2.3 Firmware download files
To perform a firmware download of the system, you need the download files supplied together with
the HMI600 software. These files are stored in the release directory. You can find the release
directories in the directory 'Firmware'. Make sure that you are using the highest release if you
update your equipment.
Example for a release directory:
C:\Program Files\ABB\HMI600\Firmware\Release 1.0\*.ldr

REMOVING EPROMS FROM A BOARD OR TRYING TO DO SO CAN
RESULT IN IRREPAIRABLE DAMAGE TO THE BOARD.
Should the communication to the equipment be interrupted during the
download process, correct the communication problem WITHOUT switching
off the power to the equipment and restart the firmware download.
Firmware download should only be executed from PCs with a correctly
installed Windows operating system. Do not use PCs that show signs of
instability such as premature abnormal terminations of programs.
To prevent interruptions of the communication during firmware download, it
is a good idea to:
- close all programs running on the PC except HMI600,
- stop any programs running on the PC in the background such as virus
scanners,
- disable the screen saver of the PC,
before starting the firmware download.
Keep your hands away from keyboard and mouse while a firmware download
is in progress except when HMI600 prompts you to do so.
If a firmware download has to be executed, always use the Equipment ID: 0
to logon the equipment. If your PC is connected to the RS-485 station bus, all
ETL600 terminals except one have to be disconnected or switched off for that
purpose. Normally the PC is therefore connected directly to the HMI interface
(RS-232) on the front plate of the ETL600 terminal to be updated.
If the new firmware is incompatible with an already stored configuration, then
the P4LT/P4LU module will use the default configuration after completion of
the firmware download.
The serial data rate of the P4LT/P4LU default configuration is 57'600 bps. If
any other serial data rate was configured before the firmware download (on
the P4LT/P4LU module and in the HMI600) and the module starts up with the
default configuration, no further access via the HMI-COM port will be possible
until the serial data rate of the HMI600 is readapted to this default data rate of
the module (i.e. 57'600 bps).
