Flash Upgrade
Selecting Flash Upgrade will launch the utility that lets the user upgrade the firmware in EZMotion. New firmware becomes
available from Control Techniques to add new features or to upgrade prior releases.
When the user selects Flash Upgrade, PowerTools Pro will search for all devices available on the network. Once PowerTools
detects devices, a window similar to that shown in Figure 19 will appear.
Figure 19:
To upgrade the firmware in a given node, click on the Select File button in the top-right corner of the window. Navigate to the
folder location where the new flash file is stored. Select the new flash file and click Open. If the selected flash file is compatible
with the devices in the list, the LED next to the device will turn from red to green. If the selected flash file is not compatible with
the device, the LED will remain red. Once the LED next to the desired device has turned green, click on the device to be
upgraded so that it is highlighted, then click Upgrade.
The upgrade process can take up to fifteen minutes (at 19200 baud). When complete, cycle power on the system for the new
firmware to take effect.
