Updating Firmware
5. To upgrade a Web Page, expand the Web Pages selection by clicking the plus sign
next to Format. Select the Web Page to upgrade and a browse button will appear on the
right side of the field. Use the browse button to locate the web page file (*.cob). Click OK
and the file transfer begins. The Web Manager is loaded to WEB6 and the Configurable
Pins Applet is loaded to WEB1.
The Configuration buttons allow you to create and select a group of files, comprised of
several web pages and firmware files, that can be downloaded with one command. To
create a file set, select all of the files to download, then click the
Save
button to open the
Save As dialog. The defined set of files is saved to a *.ini file. To Load a file set, click the
Load
button to display a search dialog box. Only the path of the files is stored in the *.ini file.
If you change the location of the web pages or firmware, you must edit the corresponding
file set to match the new location. Click the
New
button to clear all selections.
