Important Note

This document describes the firmware update (FW) of the module firmware of the EN100 Ethernet module over its
Ethernet interface. The FW / FPGA update process over the serial front interface remains unchanged and is not
affected by this document.
2 System requirements for firmware / FPGA update over the
Ethernet interface
•
EN100 firmware versions newer or equal to 4.08. FW update of versions lower than V4.08 will be
supported the over front interface (serial or USB) by FWUpdate only. For special support please contact
Customer Care. The serial loaders for FW 4.08 can be downloaded from the Internet for each device.
•
Internet Explorer version 6 or newer has to be installed on your notebook or desktop PC for updating the
firmware.
•
Optionally Netview could be installed on your notebook. With the substation configuration file (SCD-file) of
the DIGSI IEC 61850 project you are able to read out the network configuration and to check afterwards
the update of the whole configuration. Otherwise the configuration must be checked for each individual
device over the device display or over the module homepage of the device.
See Netview manual for using Netview:
Program and manual download:
•
A notebook / PC with Ethernet interface. After PRP is installed on the EN100 module a PC with a PRP –
network card is required or the PC must be connected to the PRP – network by use of an external Redbox
which converts non-PRP-telegrams of the PC to PRP-telegrams used in the PRP-network from SIPROTEC
4 devices and other PRP – network participants (e.g. SICAM PAS).

Contents of the Consignment / Installation

•
This document is an alternative method of the serial loader via FWUpdate.
•
Pck - files – firmware/FPGA files for EN100 modules which can be used for all SIPROTEC 4 devices
independent of SIPROTEC ordering code. (Available at the SIPROTEC download area)
http://siemens.siprotec.com/download_neu/index_d.htm
http://siemens.siprotec.de/download_neu/index_d.htm
Attention: There are two different files for FW-update and FPGA-update over the Ethernet interface
available.
•
The first one is for device independent upload via EN100 homepage (Example:
IEC61850_81_04.10.00.pck). The second one is for the update of the FPGA – chip on the EN100 module
(Example: EN100_FPGA_555.pck). Both files are required to update the module with PRP – functionality.
•
A firmware reboot and activation for the module firmware may be possible over Web Monitor on EN100
module homepage. Please verify with the DIGSI 4 setting, that Web monitor have read and write access
(Required option is Full access) and the Module homepage must be ON. Required settings are shown in
fig. 3-3. Activating the FPGA – update requires to switch the device OFF for min. 20 seconds. After the
restart of the device the FPGA – update will be activated.
