Software
The software in the HC5500 and JobCom can be upgraded. Examples for this are
improvements for better performance and bug fixes.
When the software for the controller is changed, it will be available from Hardi’s Technical
Service department. The software can be sent as an attached Zipped file on the E-mail.
Uploading new software to the controller will normally not have any visible effects and will
delete the settings / memory of the controller.
A master reset can delete the settings and memory in the controller. After a master reset all
settings in the controller must be set again, perform always a master reset after a software
update.
To prevent too manually setup of all parameters in the HC5500 after a software update or
master reset is it possible to save the configuration to a computer and transfer it again to the
controller after the update or reset.
For software versions higher than 4.01 can all parameters be saved in a configuration file on
a PC.
To save the parameters from the JobCom it should be enabled in menu E.9.1 prior to a
configuration dump.
If the JobCom is enabled and defect, the HC5500 will give the error message "Incomplete".
The HC5500 parameters, without the JobCom parameters, will be saved in the configuration
file and can be transferred to the HC5500 and a new JobCom.
See the chapter “Handling the Configuration file” how to save and send the configuration file
to the controller and JobCom.
HC5500 software versions lower or equal to 4.00 will not save all parameters from the
HC5500 and JobCom. Following parameters will not be saved and should be setup
manually:
