9.3.3.1
Upgrading from ELOP II Factory to SILworX
This upgrade may only be used for HIMatrix controllers and remote I/Os with newer layouts. Any
attempt to use it with controllers and remote I/Os with previous layouts leads to failures that can
only be removed by HIMA.
i
HIMatrix controllers that can be programmed with SILworX, are only compatible with remote
I/Os that can also be programmed with SILworX. For this reason, also ensure that the
appropriate remote I/O is used.
For F60 systems, no upgrade other than that of the processor module is required. The
operating system of the processor module determines the programming tool.
The user program cannot be converted from ELOP II Factory to SILworX and vice-versa.
Please contact HIMA service if it is not clear whether a given controller or remote I/O may
be upgraded.
Update the operating system loader (OSL) when performing an upgrade.
To prepare a HIMatrix controller for being programmed with SILworX
1. Use ELOP II Factory to load the processor operating system (CPU-OS V7 and higher) into
the controller.
2. Use ELOP II Factory to load the communication operating system into the controller, V12
and higher.
3. Use SILworX to load the OSL into the controller, V7 and higher.
The controller must be programmed with SILworX.
9.3.3.2
Downgrading from SILworX to ELOP II Factory
In rare cases, it can be necessary changing a controller or remote I/O to be programmed using
ELOP II Factory instead of SILworX.
To prepare a HIMatrix controller for being programmed with ELOP II Factory
1. Use SILworX to load the OSL into the controller, V7 and higher.
2. Use SILworX to load the processor operating system into the controller, V7 and higher.
3. Use SILworX to load the communication operating system into the controller, V12 and
higher.
The controller must be programmed with ELOP II Factory.
i
F*03 controllers with CPU operating system V8 and higher cannot be changed to be
programmed with ELOP II!
9.4
Repair of Devices and Modules
The operator is not authorized to repair devices and modules of HIMatrix systems. Defective
HIMatrix systems must be returned to HIMA for repair after being tested by the operator with a
brief description of the fault.
Equipment with a safety certificate is safety-relevant. The validity of the certificate expires if
unauthorized repair is performed to safety-related devices of the HIMatrix system.
The warranty is void and no legal responsibility is taken for unauthorized repair.
