Updating Firmware in the LC Modules
Within the LC module there are two firmware sections, the resident section
(minimum operating system and boot loader) and the operation section. The
Transfer button [F7] switches the module from operation firmware to resident
firmware mode. In most cases this is the first step in the firmware update process.
After the firmware is loaded the transfer command is needed to move the module
back from resident to operational mode. Resident firmware is identical for all LC
modules whereas operation firmware is different for each module.
Update of operation firmware can be done in the resident mode only.
Update of the resident firmware can be done in the normal (operation) mode only.
