23.7.3 Upgrading the SAM (CMS) Firmware
Currently the SAM (CMS) firmware is not updated during the normal firmware update process. It must
be updated by inserting a firmware-update SD card into the SAM.
Prepare the SD card by following these steps.
Insert the SD card into your laptop. Erase all
files from the SD card.
Open VC-8000 Maintenance software and
select the Firmware Upgrade tab.
Select Write SD.
The Select SD card window will appear. Select
the SD card.
A message is displayed in the message bar
(lower left).
Verify the SD card contains only one file (it will
have the extension of .bin)
Insert the SD card into the SAM.
If your rack has a display, A pop up screen will
appear, a 10 second count down will begin,
and then the display will reboot.
Wait 60 seconds and then remove the SD
card.
Use VC-8000 Maintenance software to verify
that the upgrade was successful.
The SAM (CMS) firmware only affects the display and the CMS interface and has no impact on
machine protection or Modbus communication.
