Software updates: step by step and what to watch

FiOC-40 software is updated from the web interface. This note gives a short checklist of what to watch before and after an update.

The device software (firmware) is uploaded from the Software Update page of the web interface. The process is simple, but if it is not planned it can cause a short interruption on site.

Before the update

  • A backup of the application should be taken.
  • Only the update package supplied by the manufacturer should be used. The device checks that the file is valid software, but not which product or version it was made for.
  • The update should be planned for a time when the plant can stop briefly.

During the update

The file is selected and uploaded; the upload can be cancelled while it runs. When the upload finishes the device restarts, and outputs and communication stop briefly.

After the update

  • The new version can be checked on the System Summary page.
  • Your settings and the files on the device are kept.
  • The web interface’s own files are not updated together with the firmware.
  • There is no automatic return to the previous version, which is why the backup taken beforehand matters.

Detailed technical values are given in the product datasheet; our dealers can assist you with your project.
