Download Files

Download files have the following filenames (filename extension of .ffd). Take care to
choose the correct download file for the target field device:
445644 + device family + _ + device type + _ + domain name + _ + software name + _ +
software revision + .ffd
For example, the name of the download file for an FVP may have the following name:
445644C_0007_FVP_ORIGINAL_R101.ffd
Refer to "Comments on System/Network Management VFD Parameters Relating to
Software Download" on page 248 DOMAIN_HEADER about each keyword of the file
name.
The device type is 0007 for an FVP transmitter .
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 file. In general, an addition to the parameters or blocks requires a
device revision update.
On completion of the activation, the target fieldbus device
resets internally, which temporarily halts fieldbus
communication and function block executions. Be especially
careful about a valve positioner; the output air pressure falls
to the minimum level (i.e., zero).
Do not turn off the power to a field device or disconnect the
download tool during a download or activation. The device
may fail as a result.
Be careful about the noise on the fieldbus link. If the fieldbus
is noisy, the downloading may take a very long time or fail.
