3 Configuration
3.2 System Settings
Identical Configuration File Formats.
The following procedure works only if the configuration file format is the same for the
old and new firmware release. The only impact on process operation is that caused
by a redundancy switch-over.
1. Check which Linking Device acts as secondary device.
2. Update the firmware in the secondary device using the web interface. Refer to
Firmware Update on page
3. After the firmware update is successfully completed, the secondary device will boot.
4. Wait until the secondary device is fully operational again:
a.
b.
5. Enforce a redundancy switch-over (e. g. by disconnecting the HSE cable from the
primary device).
6. Update the firmware in the remaining device (secondary device after redundancy
switch-over) using the web interface.
Different or Unknown Configuration File Formats.
The following procedure works regardless of the file formats of the old and new
firmware release. As HSE and H1 communication will be stopped for the affected
redundant set of Linking Devices, it is not recommended to apply this procedure to
an operating set of devices.
Applying the following procedure for a firmware update on an operating redundant
set of Linking Devices stops all HSE republishing and cyclical communication on all
H1 links of that set of Linking Devices as well as client/server communication to the
Linking Device and the devices on the H1 links. No cyclical or client/server
communication on the H1 links of the affected redundant set of Linking Devices is
possible until configuration data has been downloaded to the redundant set of devices.
1. Update the firmware in either of the devices making up the redundant set using the
web interface, refer to
configuration data.
2. Update the firmware in the remaining device using the web interface.
