Human-Machine Interface (HMI)

To load or upgrade the User Interface file via HMI (recommended method):

NOTE: The files within the UIUpgrade folder include wsroot/fpweb.swf as well as language (.mo) files and other support files.

1.Insert the USB memory device into the USB port of the field panel.

NOTE: Due to USB memory device manufacturer, size, and contents, the time to detect the device will vary from several seconds to one or more minutes. You may verify that the device is attached by using the HMI commands S/H/F/F/L to list the available drives on the Field Panel, and confirm that Drive B is listed.

2.Use the HMI Uiupgrade function

(System/Hardware/Ethernet/Webserver/Uiupgrade). When prompted, type Y for Yes, and press ENTER.
