Chapter 2 Configuring the Dynamic 2500 Data Collector
Updating the Operating
System
Download the Dynamix 2500 .zip upgrade file from
http://www.rockwellautomation.com/support/
. Choose Downloads > Firmware
Updates > Condition Monitoring.
You can load the operating system/firmware from Dynamix 2500 data collector
product CD by using the USB connection. Use the Dynamix 2500 OS Loader
application on the product CD or at
http://www.rockwellautomation.com/support/firmware.html
To use the Dynamix 2500 OS Loader application, the following must be installed
on your computer:
• Microsoft’s ActiveSync software
Communication is supported through the USB port using Microsoft
ActiveSync software version, 4.5 or later.
If you have not installed ActiveSync software, see Install ActiveSync or
Mobile Device Center Software on page 30 for more information.
• USB Drivers
If you have not installed the USB drivers for your Dynamix 2500 data
collector, see Install USB Drivers on page 31
for more information.
We recommend that you delete all older versions of the installer loader
.msi files from your computer before updating the Dynamix 2500 data
collector’s operating system.
Whenever you rerun the OS Loader software, you will reload only the
main OS firmware. The OS loader will back up licence files and data, but
not the optional extension modules. Once you have updated the OS
firmware, install the latest version of your optional extension modules.
