10.7 Updating the firmware
A firmware update can be required by several reasons. The
firmware consists of two part: the actual firmware of the
Profibus slave controller which is supplied by the Profibus
controller hardware manufacturer and a user script. The new
user script is obtainable from us upon request or available
as download on our website.
Before the update, the Profibus interface card has to be
removed from the device in order to set jumpers on the card
which select what is going to be updated.
Blatt 1 / 2
The jumpers A, B and C (in the middle of the PCB) are set
to Position NORM, as depicted by the little table that is prin-
ted on the PCB next to the jumpers. NORM stands for 101,
whereas a 1 means that the lower two pins of a column are
connected and a 0 that the upper two pins are connected.
For position NORM this is A = lower, B = upper and C = lower
jumper setting. Meanings:
Script->PB
Load user script into the Profibus slave controller. See below.
SW->PB
Firmware update of the Profibus controller. See below.
NORM
Setting for normal Profibus operation. This position is re-
quired to be set after every script or firmware update.
USB<->Dev.
Activates the connection of the USB port to the device. The
device can now be accessed by communcation via the USB
port, as an alternative communication way (see section 10.8).
It is also used to update the device firmware. Some device
series feature two microcontrollers for which the jumpers
have to be reconfigured during the update process. This is
what the last position, 2nd Prog, is used for. The required
Update Tool will lead you through the update process and
request you to do the necessary settings.
2nd Prog
Is only required to be set when updating a device‘s firmware
and only with models of series PSI 8000 or PSI 9000 which
feature two microcontrollers. Follow the instructions of the
Update Tool.
Controller firmware
To update the controller firmware, as far as it is required at
all, it requires a Windows software (Firmware Download Tool)
from the Profibus slave controller manufacturer Deutsch-
mann AG (www.deutschmann.de), as well as the firmware
file itself. Also included on the supplied CD. Most recent
versions only available as download from the Deutschmann
website. The update is done via the USB port, with jumper
setting SW->PB.
User script
To update the user script, it requires a Windows software
(WinGate) from the Profibus slave controller manufacturer
Deutschmann AG (www.deutschmann.de). It is also included
on the supplied CD. Most recent versions only available as
download from the Deutschmann website.
The script is always supplied by us, included on the CD or
available as download from our website
The update is done via the USB port, with jumper setting
Script->PB.
10.8 Communication via the USB port
The USB port can be used alternatively to the Profibus for
communication, in order to access the device via a different
protocol or when a Profibus is not available. Doing so re-
quires to set jumpers on the interface board, as explained
in section 10.7.
The USB port as device is always available in Windows, as
long as it is connected. The jumpers just switch the com-
munication to the device between USB and Profibus. Thus
only one of both ports is working.
After switching to USB communication, the port will work
exactly as with the USB interface card IF-U1, except that
the card remains described as IF-PB1 with name and article
number.
Refer to sections „5. USB card IF-U1 / IF-U2“ and „13. Pro-
gramming“ for details about communication, programming
and setup of the USB port.
