IP Address:192.168.37.xxx
Netmask:255.255.255.0
Gateway:192.168.37.10 (if desired)
Where XXX is a number between 0 and 255 that is not assigned to any other device to avoid collisions.
4. Other Network, Communications and Data Flow checks
• According to the model number of the relay, to enable the 10/100 BASE TX-CABLE option in the relay communication
board, a specific jumper in this board must be changed. See detailed instructions in paragraph 3.4.3 of Instruction
Manual GEK-113000AE.
• IP address, netmask, gateway are correct and match the parameters used in the computer to perform the procedure.
See table 9.1 (on this chapter) of Manual GEK-113000AE
COMMUNICATION PARAMETERS.
5.1.2 BOOTWARE VERSION UPGRADE
5.1.2.1 INTRODUCTION
Boot code upgrade is performed using EnerVista 650 Setup. Please use Enervista 650 Setup last version. It is required that
no active communication be established between the program and the relay, and that no configuration file open.
During the boot code upgrading process, all the data stored in the relay will be lost, so it is required to save all calibration,
settings, oscillography, etc. from the relay before the upgrade.
5.1.2.2 BOOTWARE UPGRADE
1. Windows XP, Windows 7 and Windows 8 Operating Systems must be used for installation and the reliable operation of
Enervista 650 Setup program and bootware/firmware relay upgrade.
2. To upgrade the boot code, it is required to connect an RS232 cable to the front of the relay, and an Ethernet cable to
the rear port (ETH_1/ETH_2 or ETH_E/ETH_A/ETH_B).
3. If it is being used a USB-to-Serial RS232 Cable Converter, it must be a RS-232C standard compliant, powered by the
User computer's USB bus and with DB9 male connector. To ensure the correct state of communication between the
computer and the relay along the whole upgrading process, all other USB devices must be unplugged. Due to the
extended variety of USB-to-Serial Cable Converters existing nowadays in the market, with different characteristics,
even different charge imposed to the USB bus of the PC, it is strongly recommended to use the GE USB-to-Serial
RS232 Cable Converter, part number GE0100-0001.
4. When using USB-to-Serial RS232 cable it is necessary first to determine the COM Port number the Laptop will use
through the USB device. Depending in the actual F650 upgrade task under operation, the procedure is as follows:
4.1 Firmware upgrade: It is not necessary the use of serial cable
4.2 Bootware and firmware upgrade being the relay fully operative with the actual F/W version: The COM port
number must be determined by using the 650 Setup program. With USB device disconnected from the Laptop and
from the relay, start the 650 Setup program. At the top menu bar choose
COMMUNICATION>COMPUTER>COMMUNICATION PORT menu and check the allowable serial ports
displayed.Return to the main 650 Setup screen and connect the USB device to PC and select again at the top
menu bar COMMUNICATION>COMPUTER>COMMUNICATION PORT menu the allowable serial ports now
displayed. The new one port number shown is the USB port number to be used for the upgrade process.
4.3 Bootware and firmware upgrade being the relay blocked at startup (no preliminary communication PC-Relay
allowable): Repeat the process described above in 4.2 to determine the COM PORT number and continue with
upgrade process.
5. Once determined the COM PORT number, set it at COMMUNICATION>COMPUTER menu together with and the
BAUD RATE and PARITY parameters. Click Store key.
6. Start Enervista F650 Setup program and at the top menu bar choose "COMMUNICATION>UPGRADE RELAY".
