The firmware download may take several minutes and must not be interrupted. Do not turn off the
device! Do not close the software! Incorrectly or improperly executed firmware downloads can render
the device unusable (service case).
To update the firmware, perform the following steps:
1. Download the firmware files onto the device.
2. Start the firmware update. The start of the firmware update does not take place at the same time
as the download of the firmware files.
3. Start the update procedure. The update procedure is performed in a device-internal manner in
interaction between the firmware management component and the bootloader.
Festo Automation Suite carry out the abovementioned steps automatically, one after another.
