3.8 UPGRADING FIRMWARE PROCEDURE
Firmware can be downloaded to the drive using the S200 OC TOOLS User
Interface Software. The firmware to download must be accessible by the
computer via local media (hard drive, floppy, CDROM, memory stick, etc.).
The proper procedure for upgrading firmware is as follows:
1.) Archive drive settings as described in Saving Drive Settings, above.
2.) Execute the following firmware upgrade procedure.
3.) Clear memory by ‘Utilities / Reset Variables to Factory Default’
4.) Restore the drive settings using the procedure describes above for
‘Configuring Drive from Existing File
The drive must be selected on the ‘folder-side’ of the S200 OC TOOLS
window. From the menu bar, select ‘Utilities / Download new firmware to drive’.
The drive must be disabled. If the drive is enabled the software will ask you to
disable it. A ‘file locator’ box will pop up allowing you to locate the desired
firmware file to load to the drive. Drive firmware has the extension of ‘.BIN’.
Open the desired file. S200 OC TOOLS
will direct you to ‘set’ DIP Switch S13-4
(located on the top of the product) to a
position at the top of the product. Set
this switch. The photo to the right shows
S13-4 in the proper position to load
firmware.
NOTE
A file name that includes the letters ‘CAN’ (ie: S200_CAN_V1_10_00.BIN)
supports CANOpen field bus communication for –CNS product. A filename
that contains the letters ‘DeviceNet’ (ie: S200_DeviceNet_V1_10_00.BIN)
supports DeviceNet filed bus communications for –DNS product.
NOTE
Some Versions of S200 OC TOOLS mistakenly refer to switch S13 as S3.
