APPENDIX 6. SOFTWARE DOWNLOAD

A6.1 Benefits of Software Download

update theirv software. Typical uses are to add new features such as function blocks and diagnostics

to existing devices, and to optimize existing field devices for your plant.

Fieldbus Foundation download class: Class 1

Class 1 devices can continue the specified measurement and/or control actions even while software

is being downloaded to them. Upon completion of a download, however, the devices will be reset

internally to make the new, downloaded software take effect, and this will temporarily halt fieldbus

communication and function block executions.

A6.3 Preparations for Software Downloading

For software downloading, you need to prepare the following:
• Software download tool

• Software binary file for each of the target field devices
For the software download tool, use only the specific program. For details, see the User’s Manual

of download tool. For information about updates of software binary files for field devices and how to

obtain them, visit the following web site.
