Update Firmware
Terminal Firmware
Firmware components are packaged as execute-in-place (XIP) regions in a
System Code (SC) .img file. When the SC .img file is copied to the Virtual File
System (VFS) on the terminal, the terminal XIP regions are updated and the
terminal restarts automatically. These firmware components are affected
during an update:
• FactoryTalk® View Machine Edition Station software
• Communication protocols and drivers including Kepware drivers
•Windows fonts
•Windows CE components
• FactoryTalk components
• User extensions
Note: The description of XIP and VFS is only applicable to PanelView Plus 7
Performance Series A terminals.
A firmware update does not affect these terminal components or settings:
•Windows registry
• File system including the FactoryTalk View Machine Edition
application that is loaded
(1)
in the terminal
• Network parameters including the network device name, DHCP-
enabled and static
(2)
IP addressing, speed, and duplex setting
• Display settings and screen saver configuration
• Touch screen calibration
