The case controller is supplied with the current firmware, ready for operation. Future software versions can be
loaded into the case controller as required by means of a firmware update, and thus updated.

found in E°EDP.
Damage to the system and stock loss! Before the firmware update, the affected system component
and the system must be brought into a safe state as the shutdown of the controller during the firmware
update can have undesired effects on the system component and/or the system.
Caution: data loss!Theloadingofsoftwareviafirmwareupdatemustnotbeinterrupted.Thepower
cable and USB A-B cable must not be disconnected during the firmware update. It must be ensured
that power is supplied throughout the entire process. Any interruption of the firmware update can result
in an inoperative controller. In some cases, a change of firmware version can result in the loss of all the
adjusted setpoints in the case controller. As a precaution, the settings should therefore be backed up
by saving them using the LDSWin PC software before the firmware update. After the firmware update,
the saved settings can be reloaded into the case controller from LDSWin.
