7.4.1 Loading firmware
The firmware supplied in the units is stored non-volatilely in electrically
erasable memory chips, so-called flash EPROMs. If required, the
firmware can be erased and overwritten with new firmware.
It is necessary to import new firmware if
♦ an extended function scope is available in a new firmware version
and this needs to be used, or if
♦ user-specific firmware needs to be loaded into the units.
The firmware can be loaded using a laptop or PC and the data is
transferred into the units via the serial interface SCom or SCom1. A
special cable is necessary for importing the firmware.
