Firmware File Validation

Before the firmware file is imported into the system, the firmware upgrade function perform a
validation of the file, to ensure that:

•

the firmware is compatible with the Communicator hardware

•

the firmware is suited for the product

•

that the officially HMS software signatures are valid

•

that the firmware file is not corrupt or damaged

If the firmware file does not pass the validation, the firmware file is rejected and an error
message appear.

11.3.4

Update Firmware

Before You Begin

To eliminate the risk of interference with plant operation, firmware update is only
available when the Communicator is disconnected from the OT networks.

Ensure that the Communicator is disconnected from the OT networks.

Procedure

To update the firmware:

On the Files & firmware page, click

Upload

In the Upload Firmware window, click

Select firmware (.hiff)

In the Open dialog box, browse to and select the firmware file and click
