SD Card Storage - Overview Firmware Files (Binary Format)
You can store binary files in the
Smartpack2 Master
controller’s SD card (data stor-
age device) and use them for firmware upgrading of controllers and control units,
as well as for exporting and importing configuration files.
Notice:
All firmware upgrade and configuration files stored in the SC card must have specific file
names.
The SD card uses the 8.3 file name format. Before using the files stored SD card,
you must rename them, so that they conform to the specific file names described
below.
For example, if you receive the file “SmartPack2_Basic_405007.009_V1.1.mhx” to
upgrade your
Smartpack2 Basic
controller firmware to version 1.1, you must first
rename the file to exactly “SP2BAS.MHX”, then copy the file to the SD card and fi-
nally insert the SD card in the
Smartpack2 Master
controller to start the firmware
upgrade process.
