Update Firmware
The installed FIC-1500 should have the firmware version 4.0 (FIC_Burn20_App40a.hex) or higher in
order to utilize this feature. A warning message displays if the FIC does not have the correct firmware.
Only one FIC may be powered during the firmware update process as the system cannot perform
firmware update on two FICs simultaneously. The user must either power-off or detach the Modbus-
connections on second FIC, if installed.
The user copies the correct firmware (*.bin) file to the USB stick and then inserts it into the USB-port.
After that clicks on the
‘Update Firmware’
button which opens up the USB directory ( Figure 29 ) with a
prompt to select the firmware file ‘ Find firmware *.bin file’
.
Once the user has selected the correct *.bin file and clicked
‘Open’
, another window shows informing
the user of the pending restart of the application ( Figure 30 ).
Finally, the user clicks
‘
Yes
’ to proceed with the FIC firmware update. The Data Pro shows the
progress bar during the firmware update process ( Figure 31 ). Once the update is complete, the
application restarts. The user can check the
‘FIC Surface FW Version’
via Menu
