DuRApulse GS4 AC Drive User Manual – 1st Ed, Rev A - 10/20/2017
Chapter 7: GSoft2 – Getting Started
firmware uPGraDe noteS
When upgrading firmware, the drive should be disconnected from all power sources (incoming AC
power and control-level DC power).
All unnecessary USB peripherals should be disconnected from the host PC; Especially any USB to
serial converters (USB-485M, USB-RS232, etc.) (drivers may conflict with the USB FW upgrade
driver).
The host PC must be connected to the upgrade port of the GS4 via a standard USB A-to-B cable
(USB-CBL-AB6 or similar).
Once the PC is connected to the GS4, the drive will be recognized as a USB-serial converter COM
port. Open Device Manager to determine which port number has been assigned.
Follow the software's instructions to upgrade the GS4 firmware. More detailed firmware upgrade
instructions are available in the GSoft2 online help file.
