10.7.3 Selecting the File to Upgrade
In the Firmware Upgrade table, there are buttons at the top to start or stop the firmware upgrade.
These buttons are not active until a firmware file is selected. The first three rows of the Firmware
Upgrade table display information about the selected upgrade file.
The rest of the table rows show information about the last upgrade that occurred. In the following Ready
to Start Upgrade figure, the controller has been recently reset and no upgrade history displays.
The File Info field is informational, it displays information about how to proceed with an upgrade. Before
a file is selected it displays the message, Select a Firmware (ACAN) File .
The File field is used to select a file for the upgrade. From the web, the upgrade file must be chosen
from those previously uploaded to the controller. On the LCD, you can select either from the list of previ -
ously uploaded files (Local Files), or from a USB drive.
Once a file is selected, the first three rows of the table are updated with new status. If the file chosen is
not a valid upgrade file, or if there are no modules to which that file can be applied, the number of
Modules Compatible With File will be 0, and the File Info field will say, Select a Different Firmware
File .
If the file is valid and applicable to your modules the Modules Compatible With File field will display
how many devices need to be upgraded, and the File Info field will display Ready to Start . If the
number of Modules Compatible With File is smaller that you expected or zero, it may be because
some or all of the modules have already been upgraded to this version. There is no need reload a
module with the same version of firmware. If the firmware is corrupt, the module will detect it and go into
a Waiting for Software state.
Figure 68: Ready to Start Upgrade
If an upgrade has been completed since the last restart, the bottom rows of the table will still contain
information about that last upgrade until the Start Firmware Upgrade button is pressed.
