9.2 Firmware upgrade version 7.00 or above
This section explains how to upgrade the F650 firmware code for version V7.00 or higher.
BOOT CODE RELEASE NOTES
It is mandatory to maintain version compatibility between firmware and boot code in the upgrade procedure, otherwise
the relay will not start after upgrading.
BEFORE PERFORMING THE UPGRADE PROCEDURE CHECK THAT BOOT AND FIRMWARE VERSION MATCH.
9.2.1 Communication parameters
1. Ethernet Connection/Type - Firmware upgrade processes require Ethernet communications. It is strongly recommended
to use a direct connection between the PC and the relay using a Cross-Over RJ45 Ethernet cable, instead a direct
connection through a hub or switch.
2. Relay IP Address - It must be assigned a IP address to the relay in the Ethernet parameters via HMI at Product Setup >
Communication > Ethernet > Ethernet E, A or B menu or via Enervista 650 Setup at Setpoint > Product Setup >
Communication Settings > Network (Ethernet) E, A or B as shown in the Table below.
