Using DPC Manager Utility to Update a YHC
DPC Manager Utility should be installed on the host PC from the User’s Manual CD (included with YHC
shipment) or from the DOF Download Site where it can be found at the bottom of the
File Download Area
page. DPC Manager coordinates the download operations from the DOF Download Site to the host PC and
from the host PC to the YHC. Periodic improvements may be incorporated into this Utility. Therefore,
Yokogawa recommends periodic comparison of the DPC Manager version installed on the host PC (see
“Help” topic in Tool Bar and “About”) to the latest available version listed on the Download Site to insure
use of the most up to date utility tool.
Directions for using DPC Manager are found under the Help Tool Bar
selection.
Prerequisites:
A.
The DPC Manager is installed on a computer that has Internet access. This software is shipped
with each YHC on a CD and is available from the DOF Download Site.
B.
The correct PC COM port has been configured (see “Settings” topic in Tool Bar, then
“Communications” and then “Port” to select COM port).
C.
Dongle and RS-232 Cable are connected to the YHC and the unit is turned on. Note: HART
communication cannot occur while communicating using the RS-232 connection.
D.
The AC power adapter is connected to the Dongle (required for all RS-232 communications).
1. Open the DPC Manager Utility and select
the “Manage DPC Device Driver and
Firmware Updates” button.
2. Click on “Settings” in the toolbar and make
sure the “Advance Settings” option is
unchecked.
3. Click the “Register DPC” button and the
Model Number, Serial Number, Expiration
Date and Firmware version of your YHC will
be retrieved and registered.
4. Click on “Internet Check for Updates”
button and DPC Manager will
automatically download all firmware and DOF
files to your computer. NOTE: Problems here
may be due to firewall settings. See
“Downloading from the DOF Download Site”
and “Using DPC Manager to Update a YHC”
section below for alternative approach.
5. Click on the “Update Handhelds” button and
DPC Manager will automatically update your
YHC from the computer. The latest firmware
and DOFs will be downloaded from the
computer to your handheld. First the YHC
firmware will be updated (if needed), then the
device
object files (DOFs) will be updated.
6. The “DPC Listing” button provides a list
of all YHC’s that have been registered with
DPC Manager on the host computer.
