ABB TCC300, User Manual, Page: 703 / 716

The Remote Ethernet Firmware Update application utilizes a special firmware update file
created by ABB that contains both the firmware version number in encrypted form and the
regular firmware file with the ".bot" extension and a version filter (optional). The
firmware update file format has an extension of ".upd". If the version filter is not included,
the application will not perform a version check prior to sending the firmware to the
control.
Additional features that apply to both Firmware and Data File modes:
• The user can select for each control, which file(s) to be updated by selecting the
appropriate check boxes.
• The utility can automatically generate consecutive IP Addresses, given a start IP
Address and the number of controls in that IP Address range. It is important to note
that the serial number verification by the utility is not performed when this feature is
used.
15.4 Updating Ethernet firmware remotely
These instructions describe the steps necessary to accomplish a remote
firmware update utilizing the user interface provided by the Remote
Ethernet File Update Utility. The actual dialog between the REFU Utility
and the Control is described in detail in the Firmware Update Sequence
section of this Appendix.
To remotely update the firmware of a control or a series of controls on an ethernet network
proceed as follows:
1. Verify that the following conditions exist:
•
The Remote Ethernet File Update (REFU) Utility is installed and running on
a PC with access to the target ethernet network.
• A ".upd" file created by ABB that contains the firmware to be updated is
available.
2. Launch the Remote Ethernet File Update (REFU) Utility. The REFU dialog screen
will be displayed.
