4.3 Firmware updates
4.3.1 Update of control panel (HMI)
The rmware of the control panel (HMI), if necessary, is updated via the USB port on the rear side. For this a
software tool, a so-called “update tool” is needed which is available from the manufacturer (as download from the
manufacturer’s website or upon request), together with the rmware update.
4.3.2 Update of communication unit (KE)
The rmware of the communication unit (KE), if necessary, is updated via the USB port on the rear side. For this
a software, a so-called “update tool” is required which is available from the manufacturer (as download from the
manufacturer’s website or upon request), together with the rmware update le.
In case the update tool is not available, or if the update could somehow not processed using the tool, 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 Windows Explorer (or similar). 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: 2.04”.
The rmware update is nished then.
