A6.3 Preparations for Software Downloading
For software downloading, you need to prepare the following:
• Software download tool
• Software for downloading file for each of the target field devices
(Software)
For the software download tool, use only a program developed for that purpose. For details, see
the software's User's Manual. For information about updates of software binary files for field
devices and how to obtain them, visit the following web site.

CAUTION
The communication may be disturbed if the software download tool is connected to a Fieldbus
segment. Connect the software download tool to the Fieldbus segment before starting operation.
A6.4 Software Download Sequence
The flowchart below outlines the software download procedures. Although the time taken for
the entire procedures varies depending on the size of the fieldbus device's software, it generally
takes about 20 minutes where there is a one-to-one connection between the fieldbus device and
the download tool. If multiple devices are connected to Fieldbus, it takes longer to download the
software.
(1) Start the download tool
(2) Select file(s)
(3) Select device(s)
(4) Carry out download (Transmit the software to the field device(s).)
(5) Activate device(s)
CAUTION
If software download is executed, the PD tag, node address, and transducer block calibration
parameters retained in the nonvolatile memory inside the target device are retained, but it may
reset other parameters to their defaults (except a minor update that does not change the number
of parameters). Hence, where necessary, save the parameters using an engineering tool,
parameter setting utility, or the like before downloading the software, and then reconfigure the
field device(s) after the download. For details, see Section A6.6.
