Note
With the NV4W or NV3Q, the version of the system program can be updated
using an SD memory card. When saving data to the SD memory card, save
the newest version of the system program on the same card. When the data is
read by the PT, the firmware and screen data for the newest version will auto-
matically be transferred to the PT.
The firmware can be updated when transferring screens from the NV-
Designer by selecting the automatic firmware update.
(1) Updating the firmware in the NV-series PT and transferring the project are
performed at the same time from the NV-Designer. It is not possible to up-
date only the firmware. (The NV Ver_UP Tool is required.)
(2) When screen data that was created on an old version of the NV-Designer
is read with the new version of the NV-Designer, the screen data is auto-
matically updated to the new version. (The following confirmation dialog
box will be displayed.)
The following dialog box will be displayed when Transfer is selected from the
PT Menu of the NV-Designer.

(1) Never turn OFF the power supply to the PT while the version is being up-
graded. Also, do not unplug the cable between the computer and the NV-
series PT. The PT may not restart if transferring the system fails.
(2) The SPMA function cannot be used while the version is being upgraded
or screens are being transferred.
