4.3 Firmware updates
4.3.1 HMI update
Firmware updates should only be installed when they can eliminate software bugs in
the rmware of your device or contain new features.
The control panel (HMI) can be updated via the front or back USB ports, whereby the back USB port requires a
PC with suitable software and the front USB only requires a FAT32 formatted USB ash drive with the update le.
Hence the latter option is much simpler.
► How to update the control panel rmware:
1. If not already available, obtain a USB ash drive (capacity up to 32GB) and ensure that it is formatted as
FAT32.
2. Create a folder with the name HMI_FILES (case sensitive!) in the root directory of the ash drive and copy
the rmware update le to this folder. The le name must follow the begin with “update_hmi” (example:
update_hmi_v100.bin) or with a number (example: 96230058_FW-BE1_V201.bin).
3. Tap the touch area , then HMI SETTINGS, then HMI UPDATE and conrm the security question
with ENTER. The HMI will then read and list the contents of the HMI_FILES folder.
4. Select and tick the update le to be used and tap the touch area LOAD FROM USB. The control panel will
then be updated.
5. Switch the equipment off, wait until it is completely out, then switch back on.
4.3.2 Device rmware update (KE)
Firmware updates should only be installed when they can eliminate software bugs in
the rmware of your device or contain new features.
The rmware of the device, if necessary, is updated via the rear side USB port. For this a software, a so-called
“update tool” is needed which is available from EA Elektro-Automatik (as download from the website or upon re-
quest), together with the rmware update. The update tool guides the user through the update process.
In case the update tool is not available, or if the update somehow went wrong and the device will not work correctly,
there is an alternative procedure. Required tools: 1x Sub-D plug 15-pole, some wire, solder iron, update le (*.bin).
► How to manually update the device rmware:
1. Power off device. If not already available, prepare the 15 pole D-Sub plug like this (gure shows backside):
Bridge between pin 5 and 6
Bridge between pin 13 and 14
2. Plug the Sub-D onto the analog interface socket and connect the (included) USB-B cable between the USB
port on the rear and the PC. Switch device on by mains switch.
3. The PC should mount a new removable drive named “EA UPDATE”, for example with driver lett G:. If not,
wait some time and repeat steps 1 and 2.
4. Open that new drive in a suitable software, like Windows Explorer. It should contain one le “rmware.bin”.
Delete the le.
5. Copy the new rmware le, which always has to be with extension *.bin, to that drive. Wait for the copy
procedure to nish.
6. Switch the device off and remove the Sub-D plug from the analog interface socket.
7. Restart the device by switching it on - the display shows some information during the startup process,
amongst them the new device rmware version as for example “KE: 2.09”.
The rmware update is nished then.
