Apply power, the status and power LEDs should be flashing alternately to indicate the
controller is in bootloader mode. It is now ready for a firmware upgrade.
The bootloader will default to an IP address of 192.168.0.50 so you must
ensure you are
running it on a network in the same address range as this IP address
(eg. 192.168.0.10).

Using the Assistant, click search in the main window and you should see the controller
appear wit
h “bootloader” in the
firmware column. Double clicking on it will bring up the file
browse window as shown in Figure 9.
5.
Click browse to locate the firmware file.
6.
Click on the “update” button.

Once the download is complete, a message box will pop up saying it has completed
successfully.
8.
The controller will automatically reboot itself and then start running the new firmware
application immediately.

The settings will be kept from before.
If you have performed a forced update and there are still problems then you should try a factory
reset as described in section 8.4. This will reset all settings back to the factory default ones after
you’ve updated already to the latest firmware.
