NXD-700i & NXT-CA7 7” Modero Touch Panels
Upgrading Modero Firmware
Overview
Before beginning the Upgrade process:
Set up and configure your NetLinx Master. Refer to the particular
NetLinx Master Instruction
Manual
for detailed setup procedures.
Calibrate and prepare the communication pages on the panel for use. Refer to the
Panel
Calibration
section on page 21.
Refer to the NetLinx Studio version 2.x or higher Help file for more information on uploading files.
Configure the panel for a direct connection. Refer to the
Configuring Communication
section on
page 23 for more information.
The process of updating firmware involves the use of a communicating NetLinx Master. The required steps for
updating firmware to a Modero panel are virtually identical to those necessary for updating Kit files to a
NetLinx Master, except the target device is a panel instead of a Master. Refer to either the Master’s User
Manual or Studio 2.x Help file for those procedures.
Upgrading the Firmware via the USB port
Before beginning with this section, verify your panel is both powered and the Type-A USB connector is
securely inserted into the PC’s USB port.
The panel must be powered on before connecting the
mini-USB connector to the panel.
Step 1: Configure the panel for a USB Connection Type
1.
After the installation of the USB driver has been completed, confirm the proper installation of the large
Type-A USB connector to the PC's USB port and restart your machine.
2.
After the NXD-700i/ NXT-CA7 panel powers-up, press and hold the grey
Front Setup Access
button for
4 seconds to continue with the setup process and proceed to the
Setup
page.
3.
Select
Protected Setup
>
System Settings
, located on the lower-left, to open the
System Settings
page.
4.
Insert
the mini-USB connector into the Program Port on the panel. It may take a minute for the panel to
detect the new connection and send a signal to the PC, indicated by a green
Connection Status
icon.
If a few minutes have gone by and the
Connection Status
icon still does not turn green, complete the
procedures in the following section to set up the Virtual Master and refresh the System from the
Online Tree. This action sends out a request to the panel to respond and completes the
communication, turning the
Connection Status
icon green.
5.
Navigate back to the
System Status
page.
A touch panel which is not using a valid username and password will not be able to
communicate with a secured Master. If you are updating the firmware on or through a
panel which is not using a username or password field, you must first remove the
Master Security feature to establish an unsecured connection.
Establishing a USB connection between the PC and the panel prior to installing the
latest NetLinx Studio and TPDesign4 applications will cause a failure in the USB
driver installation.
This driver must first be saved to the PC as part of the new NetLinx Studio and
TPDesign4 application installations.
