Firmware Update Files - HORNER APG XL10 PRIME OCS User Manual

23.3 Firmware Update Files

Note: Updating firmware will clear the application program, screens, configurations, and register
data. If required, make sure to backup program and register data before updating firmware. The
controller's User Manual has instructions for doing backups.
There are two methods for updating firmware.
Method A: Removable Media Method – The controller firmware is updated by a bootloader, using a
microSD card or USB Flash drive (not through the Cscape Firmware Update Wizard). To update or
change firmware:
1) Download desired Firmware set from the Horner APG website. (Verify CsCAN or CANopen
communications.)
2) Save Firmware files to microSD card or USB, these are the removable media devices.
3) Update the firmware through the controller's Firmware Update function
NOTE: Files from the Horner website come as a .ZIP file which need to be unzipped and placed in the
root of the drive for them to function properly.
Method B: RS232 Serial Connection – Serial firmware updates are done from Cscape software to the
controller's primary serial port, MJ1 in most cases.
STEP ONE:
In North America, visit
→Controller Firmware and download the most recent firmware set with the correct
communication protocol.
-OR-
In Europe, visit
download the desired firmware (an account is required to access firmware updates, create one
if necessary).
