7 Download from the ftp Server
The phytron PNS01 sub module contains an internal ftp server. This ftp server can be
used for updating the firmware of every active
phy
MOTION
TM
module like MCM01,
MCM02, I1AM01, DIOM01, etc.
You can also transmit
phy
LOGIC
TM
programs (scripts) via the ftp server to the
phy
MOTION
TM
.
7.1 Firmware Download
The firmware of the modules is developed and delivered by phytron.
To update the firmware of the individual modules proceed as follows:
1. Open the Windows Explorer and enter in the command line:
//ftp <IP-address of the
phy
MOTION
TM
>
The IP address is assigned by the PLC after the initialisation.
2. Enter in the ftp client window:
User name: Phytron
Password: Phytron
Confirm with the button LOGIN.
3. A window with a list of files stored on the ftp server is opened, e.g.
MCM0x.phyMotion: Firmware file for the master (MCM0x)
I1AM01.phyMotion: Firmware file for the 1 axis drive (I1AM01)
DIOM01.phyMotion: Firmware file for the digital I/O module (DIOM01)
4. To a file, it has to be highlighted. Then press the DELETE button.
5. Open the folder containing the new firmware in a second window.
Save the new firmware files by drag and drop on the ftp server.
IMPORTANT: The firmware files must be deleted before a restoring, because
they can’t be overwritten on the ftp server!
If a new firmware is loaded to the ftp server, the “new” firmware is always
transmitted to all modules of the same type.
6. First, after a restart or reset the firmware version no. on the ftp server is compared
with the version no of the MCM module.
If they differ, the firmware of the MCM module is automatically updated with the
firmware of the ftp server.
7. If they don’t differ, no firmware will be updated. The files remain even after
successful ftp download on the ftp server.
