Use the Daniel MeterLink Tools|Program Download dialog to upgrade the program
components in Daniel Ultrasonic meter. When the dialog is first opened, the Currently
Installed Versions table will show the currently installed program components in the
meter.
Error recovery for program download failure
If the Program Download failed during firmware upgrade, Daniel MeterLink can no longer
connect to the meter or a message Attempt FTP-only connection…. displays when trying
to connect perform a Backup Upgrade. It is possible for the meter to lose its programming
if the meter power fails during a firmware upgrade process. If this occurs, use the following
special procedure, Backup Upgrade, to connect to the meter and download the program
again.
1.
Use the Daniel MeterLink pull-down menu and select Program Settings. Enable the
Allow FTP-only connection checkbox and click OK to close Program Settings dialog.
a. For Serial Port Connections: Make sure you are connected to Port A. You may
need to adjust your File|Meter Directory settings for the connection so that they
match the port default settings. Port A will default to 19200 baud with a modbus
address of 32.
b. For Ethernet Connections: If you are connecting to the meter over an Ethernet
port, you should be able to connect with the same IP address as normal. If this is
unsuccessful, the meter may have defaulted to 192.168.135.100 with a subnet
of 255.255.255.0. Make sure your PC has a compatible address and attempt a
connection using this IP address.
2. Once your cabling and Meter Directory record are setup, attempt the connection to
the meter. You will receive a message Error 10001 opening database connection to,
click OK.
3. At the prompt to Attempt FTP-only connection, click Yes. If successful, the Daniel
MeterLink caption reads …Connected to <meter name>.
4. Go to Tools|Program Download to attempt the firmware upgrade again. If the firmware
upgrade is successful, the meter should start working as normally as the meter’s
configuration is not normally lost.
5. If the configuration is lost, a configuration file was saved by the Program Download
utility on the initial firmware upgrade attempt. Use Edit/Compare Configuration to write
this saved configuration back to the meter. The saved configuration files are
typically stored in C:\Ultrasonic Data\<MeterName>.
