Functional principle of update and auto-update
• »Backup & Restore« updates the software of the controller. An update transfers the data from
the USB stick to the internal flash memory (flash).
• In the case of an Update first a safety backup is created, in order to be able to restore the original
state in the event of an error.
• In the case of an Auto-Update no backup is carried out. An optional number of controllers can
be updated successively.
Differences between an update and an auto-update
Update Auto-update
• One-time update of the controller software.
• Select this process to update the software on an
individual controller.
• When carrying out an update a backup is created
beforehand for purposes of safety.
• Multiple update of the controller software, an
optional number of controllers can be updated
successively.
• The auto-update starts automatically after the USB
stick has been connected to another controller: series
commissioning.
• When executing an auto-update, an update is carried
out directly - no backup of the system is created
before.
