When upgrading the firmware of controllers and control units — if several units of
the same type are connected to the CAN bus — the
Smartpack2 Master
controller
will request you to specify the CAN bus ID number of the unit to upgrade.
Flash Memory Storage
You can store files in the
Smartpack S
controller’s embedded Flash Memory (data
storage device) and use them for firmware upgrading of controllers and control
units, as well as for storage of logs, language codes, and for exporting & importing
configuration files.

FTP Client
The files stored in the controller’s Flash memory are also accessible from a com-
puter, via the FTP client embedded in the controller’s web-based user interface.
NOTICE:
You must use the “Admin” log in account, to be able to use the embedded FTP client.
An external FTP client, such as e.g. “FileZilla” (freeware) — running on a computer
connected to the controller’s Ethernet port — can also be used to access the files
on the controller’s embedded Flash memory.
WARNING:
It is not recommended to use the FTP client embedded in Windows Explorer.
WARNING:
Before uploading files to the Flash memory (4MB), check that there is enough storage space.
Also, consider deleting files that are no longer necessary.
