Upgrading the Firmware
1. Use the AutoCONFIG software to connect to the flow
computer whose firmware you want to upgrade.
2. From the main menu, go to System > Flash RTU.
3. Browse to the location where you stored the S19 file, and double-
click the file.
4. The software will ask if you want to perform the task, as all data will
be erased. Click Yes.
5. The flow computer will display the status of the firmware upgrade.
If communication is not established or is lost during the flashing
process, follow these steps to reestablish communications with the
unit.
a. Use the AutoCONFIG software to warm boot the RTU (Tools
> Warm Restart). If the flow computer finds that the
application image is invalid, “AutoPILOT Pro XP B-2” should
be displayed on the LCD.
b.
An alternate method of warm booting the flow computer is to set
SW 1 to Switch 4 on the main board. The flow computer will
display “AutoXP B-5” on the LCD, indicating that the
bootloader has control.
c.
Try to connect to the flow computer. The software will attempt
to establish communication again and fail because the flow
computer is already in the bootloader. These communication
timeouts are normal.
d.
Once the flow computer fails communications and a blank screen
is presented, select File > Flash RTU.
e.
At the prompt, select the new flash file. The flow computer will
fail several more times (again because the flow computer is
already in the bootloader) and then will resume reflashing the
flow computer normally.
6. Upon completion, the flow computer will display that the download
is complete, and the software will inform you that the download has
been successful. Click OK. If AutoXP Main board SW 1 is on, turn
it off.
7. Establish communications with the flow computer. The No
Display List screen will appear on the flow computer display. You
will need to re-enable any calculations that were running before
the upgrade.
