Software Update
HEIDENHAIN Corporation recommends making a backup of the
control with the included USB Recovery Drive (684138-xx) before
updating the NC software. Please refer to the manual included with
the drive for the backup procedure.
Use a blank USB memory stick (512 MB or larger) to update the
software. Do not use any memory stick with a smaller storage
capacity.
The setup.zip file is required for updating the software. The file will
automatically be recognized by the installation program of the control
and must be contained in the root directory of the USB memory stick.
Procedure for updating the software
With the control software running, insert the USB memory stick
containing the setup.zip file.
Ensure that you are in "Manual Data Input" mode by verifying the
button is highlighted.
Press "System Maintenance", and select "Config". Enter "222" if
prompted for a password.
Press the "Config Data" button and navigate to "System -> Display
Settings -> CfgShutdown".
Change the "shutdownOnUser" parameter to TERMINATE.
Exit the Config, and save settings.
Shut down the control software using the normal method of
"Shutdown -> Shutdown".
At the Username: prompt, enter "222" and press ENTER.
At software update menu screen, Press "1" and ENTER.
The software update will now be done automatically, taking
approximately 10 - 20 minutes.
When the update is complete, it will prompt you to remove the USB
drive and restart. At this time, remove the USB drive and press
ENTER to restart.
After the system has restarted, it will start up normally to the control
software.
You can now return to "System Maintenance -> Config" and change
"shutdownOnUser" back to SHUTDOWN.
If any issues are encountered, please either refer to the technical
manual or contact your service representative for assistance.
