Installation and activation of the EN100 firmware

4.1

General Procedure

Install the recommended Internet Explorer browser and optionally Netview on your Service PC. Connect the service
PC with one of the Ethernet switches used in the PRP - network. Switch OFF all switches in the B – network branch
to make the update via the A – network branch. Use the SCD file of the installed IEC 61850 project to start Netview
in order to see the connected SIPROTEC devices. Find all update capable devices. Make the update for every
device via the Ethernet network over the A – network branch.
If one EN100 module in the device is updated with a new module firmware (chapter 4.2.2.1), you have to
activate (4.2.2.2) the firmware. The activation procedure for the module firmware depends on the device firmware
version (check with chapter 5.1).
If the EN100 module is updated with a new FPGA image (required for PRP) you have to switch OFF the power
supply for at least 20 seconds. The firmware will be activated if you switch the device OFF and ON, which is
anyhow required for activation of the FPGA – update for PRP.

Firmware / FPGA update

4.2.1 Preconditions

1. Connect the service PC to an electrical port of the switch in the A – network branch. All switches in the B –
network branch must be switched OFF, so only Port 1 (optical connection with LC – fiber optical cable) of
the Ethernet module is connected to active switch ports of A – network branch.
