Updating the Firmware
The AN-X4 firmware files are supplied in files that begin with AN-X4 and have extension
qtf
.
AN-X4 can have multiple versions of the same firmware, for example, different versions of the
RIO-HMI qtf. You can use the web interface to:
•
download firmware files to the AN-X4
•
select which version is to run
•
remove firmware files using the web interface.
WARNING!
Updating the AN-X firmware will disrupt RIO and Ethernet
communication. Make sure your process is in a safe state.
Run the command
Administration/Firmware Upload
to upload a qtf file to the AN-X. Uploading a
file automaticallly selects that file
To change the firmware the AN-X is running, run the command
Administration/Select AN-X
Firmware
to select the file you wish to run.
You must restart the AN-X4 to run the firmware that you selected or transferred to the AN-X.
You can also copy firmware files to the directory /Firmware on the microSD card using a card reader
in your computer. If you do so, you will also need to update the file FirmwareCfg.txt in the same
directory to run the file you copied over. The contents of FirmwareCfg.txt must match exactly the
name of one of the firmware files on the AN-X, including the version.
Example
AN-X4-ABRIO-HMI.v4.09.38.qtf
In addition, it is occasionally necessary to update the kernel on the AN-X. Kernel files have
extension *.qtk. Refer to page 42 for information on how to update the kernel.
