Chapter 3 Operator Interface
Loading Programs
(Firmware) Firmware is the program that is run in the operator interface to provide all the
functionality described in this manual. Firmware is loaded from the flash card in
one of two ways:
1. If an operator interface has a memory card inserted when it is powered up
or rebooted, and that card has a valid firmware file with the extension of
.FMW, the operator interface will automatically load the first .FMW file it
encounters on the card.
2. The user can select from one or more .FMW files on the card and load the
selected firmware into the operator interface. This is the method that will
be described here.
From the TRANSFER screen, press the [F3] key. The operator interface will
enter the DIRECTORY screen from which an existing firmware filename can be
selected or entered. Refer to the sections entitled “Select a filename” and “Enter a
filename”. (If nothing happens then you have not gained the required access to
modify the flash memory. Exit to the TRANSFER screen and refer to the section
entitled
Enter/Modify an Access Level on page 116 to gain access).
When the filename has been obtained, the TRANSFER: PROGRAM screen
such as that in
Figure 162 will be displayed, showing the filename, indicating the
operation you are about to perform and showing the current status of the
operation.

The screen will then ask you to confirm the operation. Press the [F8] key to
proceed, or the [F9] key to abort. Performing a DOWNLOAD FIRMWARE
operation will overwrite the existing firmware that is currently running.
Pressing the [F3] key may restart an aborted download or one that failed prior to
starting the download. To select or enter a different filename, press the [F7] key.
Due to the nature of this operation, all other operator interface functions will
cease during a download. Once the download begins, the operator interface’s
screen will be unable to show any status information. For this reason the two
LEDs on the back of the operator interface are used as such:
• Flashing Green - indicates that all is healthy and the transfer is proceeding.
