2.4 Firmware download parameters
The Firmware download dialog box contains a field with download parameters. You can choose
either an automatic firmware download or a user controlled firmware download by deactivating the
check box.
2.4.1 Automatic firmware download
This is the recommended method to download the firmware. The HMI600 executes all necessary
actions for a proper operation. The checkbox Automatic firmware download has to be checked.
The download process compares the firmware version on the modules with the firmware version of
the selected download files. The download to a module is not executed if the versions are equal.
So only the modules are modified, which have not the same version as the selected download files.
2.4.2 User controlled firmware download
Note:
The user controlled firmware download gives you the opportunity to modify one selected module in
a system. Deactivating the checkbox for automatic firmware download enables the button Reset
system. Please follow the instruction in the "Download status & progress instruction" window.
