Automated update
An automated update is usually a part of a manual update. In addition, this
means that you can use the control file to reduce the number of user actions
necessary for the update to a minimum, and at the same time make a backup
of the PLC partition.
If one of the following directories exists when an iTNC is booted,
- TNC:\install\
or, if a USB memory device is connected
- USB0:\install\ (USB0: first partition of the first USB memory device)
and if a setup.ini control file is saved in this directory, then an automated
update is performed according to the instructions in this control file (see
"Automated update (setup.ini)" on page 153).
If a setup.ini file exists in the setup directory when you update manually,
then the update is performed according to the instructions in this file. See
"Automated update (setup.ini)" on page 153.
Please note that if automated updating is selected, the update program
may start with a delay due to the file size.
