Upgrading the Operating System
Overview
26
The operating system of the 505/500 PROFIBUS-DP RBC is contained in
user-programmable non-volatile memory. An RBC with a previous release of
the operating system can be reprogrammed with the latest release. You
need a PC and a standard cable in order to reprogram the RBC.
Contact the Technical Services Group for the appropriate upgrade files if
you need to upgrade your RBC.
The operating system firmware for the RBC is supplied in a file called
DPRBC.DLD. You use the RBCDL.EXE program to download operating
system firmware from a binary file on the PC to the flash memory of the
RBC.
