13.2  Firmware Upgrade using USB 

If necessary, your controller can have the firmware upgraded. Firmware is a set of instructions which tell the 
controller CPU how to operate. 

1-  Obtain the hex file from Prominent and insert thumb drive with the new file into the USB port located behind 

the Communication panel. See section 13 Capturing Data. 

2- Press 

F2

, UPDATE 

 
 
 
 
 

3-  The display shows the current hex file in use.  

“NEWPGM” is a list of hex programs on the drive.

 If NEWPGM is not a choice, 

there are no compatible hex files on the USB drive. 

“OLDPGM” is a list of hex programs on 

the Aegis. If OLDPGM is not a choice, 

there are no other backup hex files in the Aegis memory. 
Choose New or Old to see a list of hex files.  
   

4- Press 

F2 

to scroll through the list of hex files. Press 

F1,

 

Load

 to install the new 

hex file.

 

 

 
 

5- 

Remove the USB drive when prompted.

 

 

NOTE: OLDER FIRMWARE VERSIONS USE STEP 6. 

 

6-  The firmware is copied to the controller.  When 

complete Aegis will notify you to remove the USB 
drive. 

 

7-  After you remove the drive, the controller will erase 

the existing firmware and install the new one. 
 
 

8-  Once the new firmware is installed, the controller 

will restart.

 

 

 

13.2.1 USB 

 Save or Load the Program  

A program is a list of instructions that the user can edit. Set-points, calibrations, names of I/O are all saved in the 
program. 

13.2.1.1 Saving to the USB 

1- To

 save

 a copy of your current program onto a USB drive, insert a USB into the USB port located behind 

the Communication panel. See section

 

13 Capturing Data.

 

 

2- Press 

F3

 Config 

 

 
 

 

3-  If you have not previously saved a program on this USB you can only 

F1 

SAVE 

a copy to the USB.
