Firmware updates
The SENTRON PAC4200 and the SENTRON PAC 4DI/2DO expansion module support
updating of the firmware.
You update the firmware with the
SENTRON powerconfig configuration software. Additional
information on updating the firmware can be found in the online help for
SENTRON powerconfig. You can find the available and possibly necessary firmware
versions on the Internet.
You can protect the update function, like all write accesses, with a password.
CAUTION
Power failure during firmware update disables the functionality of the expansion module
The firmware update lasts several minutes. To update the firmware of the expansion
module, connect the SENTRON PAC with SENTRON PAC4DI/2DO expansion module or
PAC PROFIBUS DP expansion module to a fail-safe power supply.
If the power fails despite this security measure, try to start the firmware update of the
expansion module again in
SENTRON powerconfig.
