4.3 Firmware updates
4.3.1 HMI update
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.
Firmware updates should only be installed when they can eliminate software bugs in
the rmware of your device or contain new features.
► 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
Thermwareofthedevice,ifnecessary,isupdatedviathebacksideUSBport.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.
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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:2.01”.
Thermwareupdateisnishedthen.
