Updating the software version.

The updates must be carried out using the software supplied by Fagor Automation. Updating
the software maintains the set up of the machine parameters, PLC program, tool table and
tool magazine data. Before updating the software, check the list of possible incompatibilities
between versions.
Before updating the sofware.
It is recommended to always have a backup copy of the full configuration (ASCII files) such
as machine parameter tables, tool tables, active-tools table and tool magazine tables as well
as the PLC program. Should any anomaly occur during the installation, these file will help
restore the CNC configuration.
Software update.
To update the software, close all the programs that may be running, including the CNC. The
software must be installed in setup mode.
The installation will start automatically when inserting the CD in the CD drive; if not, double-
click on the setup70_Vxx_xx.exe file, where Vxx_xx indicates the version to be installed.
Then, follow the instructions displayed on the screen.
When starting the process, the CNC offers the possibility of installing from scratch; in this
case, the installation process will not keep the CNC configuration like the machine
parameters, PLC program, etc.
Updating remote nodes of the CAN bus.
Every time the CNC is powered up, it verifies the versions of the remote nodes detected in
the CAN bus and automatically updates all these devices if necessary. When done loading,
it goes on with the usual start-up process.
If the loading is not successful, and, consequently, the software coherence between all the
elements of the CAN bus cannot be guaranteed, the CNC will display the corresponding error
message every time [RESET] is pressed.
