Installation and Startup of UA 410 L
40 Firmware V1.50 - Doku 2.0 06. April 2016
5.10 Firmware Update
The case controller is supplied with the current firmware, ready for operation. Future software versions can be
loaded into the case controller as required by means of a firmware update, and thus updated.
A software update is only to be carried out by trained staff or factory-side by the manufacturer.
Damage to equipment and goods! Before the firmware update the affected component, i.e. equip­
ment must be brought into a safe state as the deactivation of the controller during the firmware up­
date can have undesired effects on the component, i.e. equipment.
Danger data loss! The loading of software via firmware update must not be interrupted. The power
cable and USB A-B cable must not be disconnected during the firmware update. It must be ensured
that power is supplied throughout the entire procedure. An interruption of the firmware update can
result in an inoperative controller. In some cases a change of firmware version can lead to the loss
of all the setpoints in the case controller. As a precaution, the settings
should be backed up by sav­
ing them to the LDSWin PC software, prior to the update.
After the firmware update the backup settings can be reloaded into the case controller from LDSWin.
