Introduction The current memo describes how to upgrade / downgrade a TeSys T firmware version using the version V1.7 of the TeSys T programmer. In addition to the current Chapter 1, the document is composed of two main chapters. Chapter 2 describes how to use the TeSys T programmer with the following TeSys T LTMR communication type versions : - LTMRxxMxx Serial Modbus - LTMRxxCxx CANopen - LTMRxxDxx DeviceNet - LTMRxxPxx Profibus Chapter 3 describes how to use the TeSys T programmer with TeSys T LTMR Ethernet TCP/IP, references LTMRxxExx. Note : The firmware upgrade / downgrade on TeSys T, once performed on a TeSys T, results in a Return To Factory setting operation. In particular, the product configuration previously downloaded in the product is lost and must be downloaded again. Page 1 / 24
2. TeSys T programmer with all LTMR types except Ethernet TCP/IP 2.1. Introduction and principle The current chapter describes how to upgrade / downgrade a TeSys T firmware version for LTMRxxMxx (Modbus), LTMRxxCxx (CANopen), LTMRxxDxx (DeviceNet) or LTMRxxPxx (Profibus). It explains how to prepare the LTMR and the PC, how to connect them and how to run the programmer. One physical links shall be established between your PC and the LTMR, from an USB port of the PC to the LTME/HMI port on the left side of the front face of the LTMR unit. To do so, use the TCSMCNAM3M002P cable. - Note : it is recommended to make a direct link ; do not include one LTMCU in the link between the PC and the LTMR. Page 2 / 24
2.2. Prepare your PC : connection through the serial link port Identify the USB port used : to do so, connect the TCSMCNAM3M002P cable at both ends and open the Control Panel on the PC, then click on Devices Manager. Then, click on Ports (Com and LPT) and read the number of the port TSX C USB 485 : in the example : COM3. 2.3. Using TeSys T programmer Run the TeSys T programmer. Set the COM port used on the PC (refer to 2.2 above). Connect the serial port link. Page 3 / 24
Status changes to Connected and the version of the software currently loaded in the LTMR is updated Click on Open to select the firmware version you want to download. Once the firmware distribution kit is unzipped, you get a Firmware Package directory. In this directory, select the.fw file you want to download. In our example, TeSys T 2.7.000.fw Page 4 / 24
Then, all the firmware components ready to be downloaded are updated on the programmer window. Click on Program LTMR Page 5 / 24
Carefully read the following message. Not following these instructions can lead to injury or equipment damage. Then, click on Proceed. The programming starts. Note the progress bar displayed on top of the programming window showing the status of the downloading. Page 6 / 24
After about 3 minutes, you get the following window. Power cycle the LTMR and wait for about 15 seconds to make sure the product startup is finished. Then click on OK. About 20 seconds later, you get the following window Note that only the message Programming finished successfully indicates that the downloading is finished: Power cycle the LTMR and wait for about 15 seconds to make sure the product startup is finished. Then click on OK. On TeSys T programmer, click on Connect for serial port so that the Network version loaded into the LTMR is updated on the TeSys T programmer window. Then check both the LTMR firmware version and the Network version loaded in the LTMR ; they must correspond to the firmware package you had selected. Page 7 / 24
The upgrade is finished and you can exit the TeSys T programmer. Note that if you access your TeSys T through a LTMCU, depending on the firmware upgrade performed on TeSys T, you may have to update the language files of your TeSys T. If you are in this case and the languages files in LTMCU are not updated, LTMCU displays Error in languages when connected to TeSys T. It is nevertheless possible to operate temporarily both the TeSys T and the LTMCU but the new TeSys T configuration parameters introduced by the new TeSys T FW version won t be accessible. Proceed as soon as possible to the LTMCU languages update. To do so, use the Landown software and refer to the LTMCU User Manual. LTCMU languages updating is necessary when LTMR is upgraded - from lower FW version to FW 2.5 or 2.6 : LTMCU languages version must be 1.200 or higher. - from lower FW version to FW 2.7 or higher : LTMCU languages version must be 1.300.

3. TeSys T programmer with LTMR Ethernet TCP/IP 3.1. Introduction and principle The current chapter describes how to upgrade / downgrade a TeSys T LTMR Ethernet TCP/IP firmware version.. It is applicable to TeSys T with LTMRxxExx references. It explains how to prepare the LTMR and the PC, how to connect them and how to run the programmer. Note : The below described procedure frequently warns the user after x minutes or wait for x seconds : these waiting times are mandatory. Not accurately respecting them will lead to TeSys T firmware update failure and possibly to be unable to recover the product once an update has failed. Two physical links shall be established between your PC and the LTMR. One is a serial link from an USB port of the PC to the LTME/HMI port on the left side of the front face of the LTMR unit. It uses the TCSMCNAM3M002P cable. The second link is from the Ethernet port of your PC to any of the Ethernet ports of the LTMR, using one cat5 Ethernet cable. Page 9 / 24
3.2. Prepare your PC 3.2.1.Connection through the serial link port Identify the USB port used : to do so, connect the TCSMCNAM3M002P cable at both ends and open the Control Panel on the PC, then click on Devices Manager. Then, click on Ports (Com and LPT) and read the number of the port TSX C USB 485 : in the example : COM3. 3.2.2.Connection through Ethernet You must configure a fix IP address on your PC. Usually, your PC is configured to automatically get an IP address from a server. You have to configure it in fix IP address mode. In a first, during the software upgrade of the LTMR, LTMR will use its default IP address; then, in a second step, it will use the address 192.168.16.1. For each of these two LTMR addresses, it is mandatory to define in your PC a compatible IP address ; compatible means in the same Ethernet sub network. Page 10 / 24
To do so : Connect the Ethernet cable at both ends. From the Control Panel of your PC, open the Network and Sharing Center and click on Local Area Connection to which the LTMR is connected ; in the example, Local Area Connection 3. Page 11 / 24
On the next window, click on Properties On the next window, select Internet version 4 protocol (TCP/IPv4) and click on Properties. Page 12 / 24
On the next window, select Use the following IP address. Then, enter 85.16.100.0 as IP address and 255.0.0.0 as subnet mask. Then, in order to define a second IP address for the PC, click on Advanced ; Page 13 / 24
Then, on the next window, click on Add.. and, as follows, enter the second IP address for the PC, 192.168.16.1. and click on Add. Page 14 / 24
The subnet mask 255.255.255.0 is automatically selected and you get the following window. Both IP addresses for the PC are now registered and you can exit all the previous windows by clicking on OK or Close on each one. 3.3. Using TeSys T programmer Make sure both links are connected between the PC and the LTRM : - Serial link using TCSMCNAM3M002P from PC USB port to LTMR. Note : it is recommended to make a direct link ; do not include one LTMCU in the link between the PC and the LTMR. - Ethernet Link between PC and LTMR. Run the TeSys T programmer. Page 15 / 24
Set the COM port used on the PC (refer to 3.2.1 above). Connect the serial port link. The following Warning window is displayed. Accurately follow the instructions. Note that step 4 and 5 have normally already been performed earlier. In this case, ignore it ; if this is not done, refer to paragraph 3.2.2 above if you need help to define the Subnet mask and the IP address on your PC. Status changes to Connected and the version of the software currently loaded in the LTMR is updated Page 16 / 24
Enter the current LTMR IP address. In our example 85.16.135.54 Connect the Ethernet link The following warning panel is displayed to advise the user to properly set up his PC. If this was not done earlier (see chapter 3.2.2 above), it is still possible to do it right now, before clicking on OK Page 17 / 24
Then, the status for the Ethernet connection updated Click on Open to select the firmware version you want to download. Once the firmware distribution kit is unzipped, you get a Firmware Package directory. In this directory, select the.fw file you want to download. In our example, TeSys T 2.7.000.fw Page 18 / 24
Then, all the firmware components ready to be downloaded are updated on the programmer window. Click on Program LTMR Page 19 / 24
Carefully read the following message. Not following these instructions can lead to injury or equipment damage. Then, click on Proceed. Then click OK and the programming starts. Note the progress bar displayed on top of the programming window showing the status of the downloading. Page 20 / 24
After about 1 to 5 minutes, depending on the initial and target TeSys T firmware versions, you get the following window. Power cycle the LTMR and wait for about 40 seconds to make sure the product startup is finished. Only after click on OK. Page 21 / 24
The following window is temporarily displayed. Do not interrupt the process. After about 6 to 7 minutes, the following message is displayed. Power cycle the LTMR and wait for about 40 seconds to make sure the product startup is finished. Only after, click on OK. Page 22 / 24
About 20 seconds later, you get the following window Note that only the message Programming finished successfully indicates that the downloading is finished. Power cycle the LTMR once again and wait for 40 seconds. On TeSys T programmer, click on Connect for serial port so that the Network version loaded into the LTMR is updated on the TeSys T programmer window. Then check both the LTMR firmware version and the Network version loaded in the LTMR ; they must correspond to the firmware package you had selected. The upgrade is finished and you can exit the TeSys T programmer. If you want to use your PC connected to your site local network, do not forget to validate again the configuration to automatically get an IP address from your server. Page 23 / 24
Note that if you access your TeSys T through a LTMCU, depending on the firmware upgrade performed on TeSys T, you may have to update the language files of your TeSys T. If you are in this case and the languages files in LTMCU are not updated, LTMCU displays Error in languages when connected to TeSys T. It is nevertheless possible to operate temporarily both the TeSys T and the LTMCU but the new TeSys T configuration parameters introduced by the new TeSys T FW version won t be accessible. Proceed as soon as possible to the LTMCU languages update. To do so, use the Landown software and refer to the LTMCU User Manual. LTCMU languages updating is necessary when LTMR is upgraded - from lower FW version to FW 2.5 or 2.6 : LTMCU languages version must be 1.200 or higher. - from lower FW version to FW 2.7 or higher : LTMCU languages version must be 1.300.
