ControlWave Express Instruction Manual (CI-ControlWave Express)
Caution
Harmful electrical potentials may still exist at the field wiring terminals
even though the ControlWave Express power source may be turned off
or disconnected. Do not attempt to unplug termination connectors or
perform any wiring operations until you verify that all associated power
supply sources are turned off and/or disconnected.
Always turn off any external supply sources for externally powered I.O
circuits before you change any modules.
5.1 Upgrading Firmware
The ControlWave Express ships from the factory with system firmware
already installed. If you need to upgrade the system firmware (stored in
Flash memory) to acquire new functionality or restore firmware, you
can use one of several methods.
System
Firmware
Downloader
Use this tool to download system firmware to an unattended remote
ControlWave Express. To use this utility, you must set CPU/System
Controller board switch SW2-6 ON (the factory default position).
Note: For further information and detailed use instructions, refer to
Appendix J of the OpenBSI Utilities Manual (D5081).
LocalView
One of the standard OpenBSI utilities, LocalView requires OpenBSI
version 5.1 (or newer). If you have an older version of OpenBSI, use
HyperTerminal.
Note: For further information and detailed use instructions, refer to the
Flash Mode section of Chapter 5 of the OpenBSI Utilities
Manual (D5081).
HyperTerminal
HyperTerminal is a communications utility program included with
Microsoft® Windows® XP.
Notes:
 If you are using a version of OpenBSI older than 5.1, or do not have
OpenBSI software, you can only perform a firmware upgrade using
HyperTerminal.
 While HyperTerminal is included in Microsoft® Window® XP,
some newer versions of Window® do not include it.
 The screens shown here may appear different depending upon the
version of HyperTerminal you use.
 HyperTerminal requires *.BIN files; newer ControlWave firmware
upgrade files use *.CAB files. In cases such as those, you should use
the Remote System Firmware Downloader.
