Updating TMS Expansion Modules Firmware
The firmware update for the M262 Logic/Motion Controller are available on the Schneider Electric website (in .zip format).
Updating TMSES4 and TMSCO1 Modules Firmware
The firmware can be updated in TMSES4 and TMSCO1 modules.
Firmware updates are performed using a script file on an SD card.
When the SD card is inserted in the SD card slot of the controller, the controller updates the firmware of the TMS expansion modules on the I/O bus
Follow these steps to update the firmware by an SD card:
|
Step |
Action |
|---|---|
|
1 |
Insert an empty SD card into the PC. |
|
2 |
Create the folder path /TMS/ in the SD card root directory and copy the two .bin files to the TMS folder. NOTE: The smaller file is an information file for checking (model, version...) which points to the larger file, containing the firmware itself. |
|
3 |
Remove power from the controller. |
|
4 |
Remove the SD card from the PC and insert it into the SD card slot of the controller. |
|
5 |
Restore power to the controller. Result: The controller begins transferring the firmware file from the SD card to the updatable expansion modules. During this operation, the MOD STS LED on the module is fast flashing green. The firmware update takes until two minutes for each expansion module being updated. Do not remove power from the controller, or remove the SD card, while the operation is in progress. Otherwise, the firmware update may be unsuccessful, and the modules may no longer function correctly. |
|
6 |
Wait until the end of the download. If the MOD STS LED of the module is: oGreen ON, the download ended successfully. oFast flashing red, an error is detected. |
|
7 |
Verify in the message logger of the controller that the firmware is successfully updated. |
If you remove power to the device, or there is a power outage or communication interruption during the transfer of the application, your device may become inoperative. If a communication interruption or a power outage occurs, reattempt the transfer. If there is a power outage or communication interruption during a firmware update, or if an invalid firmware is used, your device will become inoperative. In this case, use a valid firmware and reattempt the firmware update.
|
NOTICE |
|
INOPERABLE EQUIPMENT |
|
oDo not interrupt the transfer of the application program or a firmware change once the transfer has begun. oRe-initiate the transfer if the transfer is interrupted for any reason. oDo not attempt to place the device into service until the file transfer has completed successfully. |
|
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage. |
