3.3.1.5.3 Flash Upgrade

Selecting Flash Upgrade will launch the utility that lets the user upgrade the firmware in the SM-EZMotion module. New firmware becomes available from Control Techniques to add new features or to fix problems in prior releases.

When the user selects Flash Upgrade, PowerTools Pro will search for all devices available on the Modbus network. Once PowerTools detects devices, a window similar to that shown in Figure 17 will appear.

To upgrade the firmware in a given node, click on the Select File control button in the top-right corner of the window. Navigate to the folder location where the new flash file is stored. Select the new flash file and click Open. If the selected flash file is compatible with the devices in the list, the LED next to the device will turn from red to green. If the selected flash file is not compatible with the device, the LED will remain red. Once the LED next to the desired device has turned green, click on the device to be upgraded so that it is highlighted, then click the Upgrade control button.

The upgrade process can take up to fifteen minutes (at 19200 baud). When complete, cycle power on the system for the new firmware to take effect.
