Firmware-Update
14 Firmware-Update
14.1
Overview
®
UNIGATE
IC has a memory for the firmware. It can be replaced via the UNIGATE
net-(PROFINET)-interface.
14.2
Execution of the Firmware-Update
The safest way for the firmware-update is the use of the basic board combined with the software
"FDT.EXE" (firmware-download-tool). These tools are available from Deutschmann Automation
(see chapter 16).
A Firmware-update can be carried out in the following operational modes:
Konfiguration mode (via the IP-address UNIGATE)
Firmware-update-mode (via the fixed IP-address 10.10.10.10)

Adjusting the Firmware-Update-Mode
14.3.1
Adjustment by hardware
®
UNIGATE
IC can be brought to the firmware-update-mode by the hardware. For it the signal BE
(-boot enable) has to be pulled to the potential GND during the Power-up-process.
14.4
Note on safety
The firmware-update should only be carried out when there is no other possibility left. A firm-
ware-update-process that has already been started CANNOT be undone. With it the previously
used firmware is permanently unusable.
14.5
Operation mode of the IC
Data exchange mode
This mode is required for the regular use of the IC. In this mode the IC will process all script-com-
mands and normally exchange the corresponding user data. The bus as well is operated in this
mode through the IC.
Configuration mode
In the configuration mode the UNIGATE
reset). After a successful self-test it will wait for further commands. Here it is possible to load a
translated Script into the unit or to configure the device.
