or Set calibration settings" and select the intended calibration file. The calibration retrieval process is necessary to
be performed before updating the unit operative system, when the operating system is updated all the data in the relay
is deleted, including the factory calibration settings. When only the firmware is updated (for versions higher than 1.50),
the calibration settings are automatically saved in the relay.
• Upgrade firmware version (Ethernet connection): Go to "Communications>Upgrade firmware version", this menu
allows the user to update the firmware version of the relay through Ethernet communication. Firmware is related to the
relay internal program, designed by GE Multilin, which performs the protection and control functions, and which is run
by the relay main microprocessor.
• Upgrade operating system (Serial and Ethernet connection): Go to "Communications>Upgrade operating system".
This option allows the user to update the relay operative system. The operative system or OS is the program that
supports the firmware and provides auxiliary services for access to electronic devices included in the relay.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
READ CAREFULLY THE FLASH MEMORY UPDATE PROCEDURE DESCRIBED IN
SECTION 9 AND CLOSE ALL THE RUNNING APPLICATIONS BEFORE
PERFORMING FIRMWARE AND OPERATIVE SYSTEM UPDATING PROCCESS
Before updating firmware check that the firmware version that is going to be updated
match the operative system version of the relay. Otherwise it is necessary to update the
operative system before proceeding to update the firmware. Other combinations of
firmware and operative system different from the listed below will not be operative
The operative system version is available in the logotype main screen in HMI; it is the
number between brackets in the first line, e.g. W6501.70 (2.35). The operative system
version is 2.35
Firmware version up to 1.5X must be used with Boot Code 2.30 (or 2.20 and 2.35)
Firmware version from 1.6X up to 1.8X must be used with Boot Code 2.35
Firmware version 2.00 must be used with Boot Code 3.00
Thanks to the use of a double flash memory, one with the Bootcode startup program and the operative system, and a
second one with the application program (firmware), a high reliability is guaranteed when updating the unit firmware, as
even if the case of a communication breakdown during the firmware upgrade process, we can retry the process for an
unlimited number of times.
• Upgrade 650 web server (Ethernet connection): Go to "Communications> Upgrade 650 web server". The relay web
server application can be updated to further versions (if available) using this menu without modifying the relay
operative system.
• Upload info files to relay (Ethernet connection): Go to "Communications>Upload info files to relay". This
functionality is used to store setting files (*.650) inside the relay, as well as auxiliary files used by the programmable
logic graphical editor (*.pep, *.aut, *.lib).
• Download info files from relay (Ethernet connection): Go to "Communications>Download info files from relay".
This functionality is used for retrieving the files (*.650 and *.pep, *.aut, *.lib) that have been previously stored in the
relay flash memory.
Important Note:
*.650 files contain protection, control settings, relay configuration and compiled logic
equations. This file can be retrieved from the relay, using the "File>Get info from
relay" option in EnerVista 650 Setup (through serial or Ethernet communication).
"File>Send info to relay" option stores this *.650 file in the relay.
