There is the opportunity to execute a firmware update for the CPU and its components
via memory card. For this an accordingly prepared memory card must be in the CPU
during the start-up. So a firmware files can be recognized and assigned with start-up, a
pkb file name is reserved for each hardware release, which begins with "pb" and differs in
a number with 6 digits. In the VIPA System MICRO CPU, you can access the pkb file
name from the web page. After PowerON and operating mode switch of the CPU in
STOP, the CPU checks if there is a *.pkb file at the memory card. If this firmware version
is different to the existing firmware version, this is indicated by alternately blinking (1Hz)
of the red and yellow LED
via an update request.
The procedure here describes the update from the CPU firmware version
2.4.0 and up. The update of an older version to the firmware version 2.4.0
has to be done via pkg files. For this refer to the corresponding manual
for your CPU version.
The latest firmware versions can be found in the service area at www.vipa.com. For
example the following file is necessary for the firmware update of the CPU M13-CCF0000
and its components with hardware release 01:

CPU M13C, Hardware release 01: Pb000292.pkb
CAUTION!
When installing a new firmware you have to be extremely careful. Under
certain circumstances you may destroy the CPU, for example if the
voltage supply is interrupted during transfer or if the firmware file is defec-
tive. In this case, please call our hotline!
Please regard that the version of the update firmware has to be different
from the existing firmware otherwise no update is executed.
The CPU has an integrated device web page that also shows information about the firm-
ware version via 'Expert View' .
