Updating the Control System
The CNRACKX contains an Operating System, a Monitor ROM, and with the
optional CNXENET expansion card, a TCP/IP Stack. Although each are separate
components, they are packaged together in a “Control System Update File”. Control
system update files have the extension .UPZ. It is often necessary to update a control
system if new features have been implemented (such as support for new hardware or
new language constructs) or if bugs have been corrected. The following procedure is
recommended to load a new .UPZ file into the CNRACKX:
NOTE:
UPZ files only pertain to X generation control systems and are not used for
older models such as the CNRACK, CNMS, CNLCOMP-232, or ST-CP. Consult the
appropriate documentation for each of these products to perform updates.
Establish communications with the CNRACKX by following the steps listed in
“Obtaining Communications” on page 18.
