4.2.2.2.2 Activation via module homepage
Please click link to reset the EN100 Firmware. See Figure 4-7 in 4.2.2.1 point 9.
Attention!
It is not possible with some devices and some device firmware versions. Please check chapter 5.1.
Please check that the firmware 4.1 for PRP has been flashed and activated in all SIPROTEC 4 devices
before you continue with the FPGA – update for the devices.
4.2.3 FPGA Upload
4.2.3.1 Overview
FPGA and EPLD will be used as synonyms. EPLD is the older technology and substituted by FPGA today.
With the firmware version V04.08 or newer the upload of the FPGA is possible too. The FPGA image to be
uploaded will be checked against the FPGA hardware used on the EN100 module. If the image is incompatible the
flashing will be prevented. The FPGA image file name is
EN100_O_PRP_555.pck
.
The FPGA image upload over Ethernet is similar to EN100 firmware upload over Ethernet. But there are following
distinctions
:
1. A FPGA - image upload is a very critical process. If the power supply of the device is switched OFF
during the upload procedure the module hardware may be damaged. In this case the module have
to send back to repair. Please contact customer support if this happens.
2. After successful FPGA upload you must always (!) restart the device with switching Off and ON the
power supply. The device must be switched off for minimal 20 seconds.
The FPGA images are unique for each EN100 hardware. For each HW there is a own version range. The current
EN100-E (Electrical module) don’t have a FPGA. There is following compatibility given:
Modul-Type Detection via xxx
EN100-E Prozessor type
EN100-O FPGA Version No. == 4xx (Optical module with ST connectors)
EN100-O_d2c FPGA Version No. == 50x (Optical module with LC connectors)
EN100-O_PRP FPGA Version No. == 55x (xx connectors,
spezial version for PRP)
4.2.3.2 Upload and flashing
There will be executed all the steps like for the firmware update. Please refer chapter 4.2.2.1. The chapter
contains the differences to the firmware upload only.
If your .pck file is correctly and compatible to your EN100 device HW you are able to update your EN100
module:
SCF 11/2008 V08.10
