For details, contact your local Tool Manager.
● You have the project data and the credentials for the project you want to work on.
● The project data conversion from V6.2 Update (or Update 2) to V6.2 Update 3 happens automatically.
– When you open an XWP project, the XWP project is converted automatically.
– When you open an automation station in XWP, the CFC data is converted automatically.
– When you navigate to ABT Site, the conversion is done automatically.
Once XWP data and/or ABT data have been converted, you may not open the project with an old tool
version.
The new TIA15.1 version is included with the ABT V4.0 Tools installation. Conversion is needed.
For details, see
Project Converter Wizard
(CM110633en28_06).
How to upgrade from Desigo V6.2 Update (or Update 2) to V6.2 Update 3 (Online)
1. Upgrade the automation station firmware and the application to the latest version.
– Read back the parameters of the device with the tool.
– Check the availability of the latest firmware per device in the VVS table.
For details about upgrading the automation station firmware, see the documentation of the
applicable tool: XWP, ABT Pro, and ABT Site.
– Upgrade the application type (ABT Site).
– Upgrade the device type (ABT Pro).
For details about upgrading the application program, see the documentation of the applicable tool:
XWP, ABT Pro, and ABT Site.
– Make specific changes according to the new features.
– Run a full compile and load the upgraded program.
2. If you upgrade from a lower version than V6.2, run the global commanding script for the alarming
improvements.
3. Upgrade Desigo CC and/or Desigo Control Point.
To support new features in the system, the Desigo CC and/or Desigo Control Point version must
correspond to the highest installed version. e.g., updates of functions included in Desigo V6.2 Update 3
need the latest Desigo Control Point release version from Desigo V6.2 Update 3 to function fully.
23.4.3 Upgrading restrictions
Branch Office Server (BOS)
Desigo V6.2 Update 3 is compatible with Branch Office Server (BOS) V6.1, but we recommend that you
upgrade to BOS V6.2.
Desigo PXR / LonWorks system controller
A migration of previously programmed and operational V2.2 - V2.37 system controllers PXR11/12 to Desigo
V6.2 Update using PXC00(-E).D+PXX-L11/12 is required:
● To use LNS based LonWorks standard tools NL220 (Newron System) or LonMaker (Echelon) as an
alternative to RXT10.5. This applies to projects based on LNS TE and OpenLNS.
● When the runtime system (project) requires the use of certified devices with BACnet rev. 1.12.
There is no need to exchange existing PXR11/12 devices. Migration to PXC00(-E).D with a PXX-L…is only
required if the aforementioned conditions are required.
For more information, see chapter
Upgrade PXR11/12
