8.2 BOOT CODE UPGRADE

8.2BOOT CODE UPGRADE
Boot code upgrade is performed using EnerVista 650 Setup. It is required that there is no active communication between
the program and the relay, and that no configuration file is open.
In this case, menu option Upgrade Boot code will be enabled under the EnerVista 650 Setup Communication menu.
During the boot code upgrading process, all the data stored in the relay will be lost, so it is required to save all calibration,
settings, oscillography, etc. from the relay before the upgrade. It is extremely important to save the relay settings and
calibration before continuing with the process.
Figure 8–5: LOST DATA WARNING MESSAGE
To upgrade the boot code, it is required to connect an RS232 cable to the front of the relay, and an Ethernet cable to the
rear port (COM3).
The serial communication parameters will be the ones selected in the Communications > Computer menu, where the
COMX port (the port to be used in the upgrade) must be selected.
If the connection is made directly from the PC to the relay it is necessary to use a 10/100 Base T crossover cable. During
the upgrade, the system will show the following message indicating the procedure to be followed.
