1.4 Upgrade Revision Software & Firmware
1.4.1 Scope
To avail of any new features that are included in this new release on units that were purchased previous
to this release, both software and firmware require updating by the user. Any new unit will be set-up for
the latest version released.
1.4.2 Software Upgrade
To update the software requires that the user install the new version of software from the installation CD.
You may install the new software over any previous version installed. See section 1.4 Software
Installation Instructions.
To update existing projects simple open the project from the newly installed version of the software. Once
the project is saved to disk the update is complete. For backup reasons we recommend that you save the
new version of your project in a different location or under a different file name.
1.4.3 Firmware Upgrade
The following steps assume that a project or configuration is loaded to the Operator Station and that the
user is running the latest version of software.
a) Upload the project/configuration from the unit.
b) If a customised character set is loaded to the unit then upload the character set also.
c) Choose Automation Device from main menu Configure/Communication Settings.
d) From File menu choose Update TIU Operating System. (See Updating Operating System for more
details).
e) From File menu choose Update TIU Protocol. If you are updating from firmware version 2.00 or later
then you just have to update to the latest protocol file. However if you are updating from firmware
version 1.24 or earlier you most update to a Upgrade.1xx protocol file first, then update to the latest
firmware revision. See Note. (See updating protocol for further information).
f) Choose Download Character Sets to TIU from File menu.
g) Choose Download Project to TIU from File menu.
Note:
When updating the protocol file the screen may go blank after the protocol file is complete.
Continue with the procedure as described and the display will recover.
