Eaton E Series - Upgrade Firmware Version

In the vice versa case, however, if the conversion goes from a device without
communication to a target device with any communication features, it is impossible to
expect sensible communication values from a non-communication source. So, after all, you
should never trust an automatic conversion! Always have a look yourself before you go live
with the settings.
Upgrade Firmware Version
A comparable problem arises if one tries to transfer an ErPara 󰊟le to a connected device
which di󰊞ers in its 󰊟rmware version: PowerPort-E refuses the transfer with an “Invalid
Parameter 󰈛le!” error message.
In this case you can convert the settings to the 󰊟rmware version of the connected device.
NOTICE!
The conversion does not work for di󰊞erent E-Series devices, nor does it work from a new
󰊟rmware to an older version! In other words, it is only possible to “upgrade” a device.
Select the PowerPort-E menu »[File → Save As...]« to open the normal “Save As” dialog. As
you can see, the “󰊟le type” shown at the bottom of the dialog is not only “*.ErPara”, but the
version number is also part of it. Now you can expand the “󰊟le type” selection list, it o󰊞ers
all versions for which a device model has been previously installed (see also the Notice
about device models in ╚═▷ “Setting up the Connection PC - Device”). Adapt the 󰊟le name
according to your target device and click »Save«.
