SCADA 3000 Flash Reprogramming Instructions
This procedure will reprogram the internal program memory inside the SCADA 3000. It is very important that
you read and follow all instructions within this procedure. Note that this procedure will delete all programming
from the unit so be sure to have copies of all programming files and C/Ladder programs. In some cases you
may need to reprogram the Flash memory more than once, so be sure to read the instructions carefully. If you
have any questions please contact our Technical Support Department at (610)558-2700 x260. They will help
you and answer any questions you may have. If you prefer, our technical support department can reprogram
your unit(s) for you via modem. Call for details.
The reprogramming procedure you follow will depend upon which version of Comm firmware you are pres-
ently running. The steps below will assist in determining the version you presently have installed and which
procedure to follow:
Steps for Reprogramming Flash Memory
1) Retrieve any data from the unit that you may need (e.g. data logs, event logs, programming files, etc.).
This upgrade will delete all programming, C/Ladder programs, voice messages, data logs, and event logs.
Make sure you have all of the information necessary to restore your unit’s programming should that prove
necessary.
2) Log in to the unit and select Diagnostics>Processors from the menu. Write down the Communications and
Control Rom Version.
3) Follow the procedure below that corresponds to the Communications ROM Version you wrote down in Step 2.
For Communications ROM Version 1.55 or earlier:
If the unit has Communications ROM Version 1.55 or earlier, then flash in Comm-160.hex. To do this, select
Diagnostics>Flash Upgrade from the menu. Click the Select button and choose the file Comm-160.hex,
click OK. Next, under the heading Select a Processor, choose Communications ROM. Next, click the Upload
button.
A warning message will appear letting you know that your programming will be erased. Click OK to proceed.
The Flash file transfer will start. This will take a few minutes. After the file is completely loaded into the
unit, the flash memory chip will be reprogrammed. The LCD display will indicate when the reprogramming is
complete by reinitializing the unit. When the file is finished being transferred, you can click the Logout button.
