HAES SYSTEMS FUSION CONTROL PANEL

FIRMWARE FLASH PROGRAM UPDATING INSTRUCTIONS

 

 

Procedure for updating panel firmware

 

Tools required:-

A)    Program download adapter FSB25 / FSB25-V , SWPROG-USB or SWPROG-RS232 this connects from Laptop PC to 10 way ribbon cable connector

B)     Fujitsu Flash programming software  installed from Fusion programs dongle or data CD.

C)    Latest Firmware files, supplied in folder :- FIRMWARE UPDATE FILES in the dongle or via an update e mail. (please register with tech support for this service)

 

Procedure:-

A)    Power up the panel.

B)     The main display PCB (FSB17) must be updated first

C)    connect the 10 way ribbon cable from the program download adapter to the download adapter socket top right corner of the FSB17 PCB

D)    Start the FLASHPROG.EXE (Fujitsu software)

E)    

F)     Ensure the COM port setting is correct for your adapter, The baud rate and device type are set as shown above.

G)    Click the browse button to select the file to program this will be in the form fsb17#3_v112_b0.mhx  and will be supplied In firmware update files folder  on the dongle or via an e mail update.

H)    There is a different file type for each type of PCB i.e  fsb17#3_v112_b0.mhx for display   fsb11#2_v112_b0.mhxfor loop cards   and fsb18#2_v112_b0.mhx for radial cards,

I)        please ensure you select the correct file

J)       Click the automatic mode button at the same time as pressing the target board cpu reset switch to start the programming sequence . On the display pcb this button is to the right of capacitor C34 near the middle of the PCB it is a small silver switch with a rectangular brown button labelled above as S1.

K)    IMPORTANT ! In order to start the program sequence it is necessary to press the CPU reset button on the board required within 1 second of clicking the automatic mode button.

L)     The software will show progress in the bottom of the window. When it has completed press the CPU reset again to restart the processor.

M)   To program boards on the lower chassis it is necessary to select the option 9. in the level 3 engineers menu  ‘Set Flash programming mode ’ once enabled  (FLASH PROGRAMMING MODE ENABLED) is announced on the LCD display.

N)    Select the file for the slave boards in the programmer software (click browse button). Make sure you select the correct file for each board type fitted i.e. loop (FSB11)  or radial (FSB18).

O)    Click the automatic mode button at the same time as pressing the target board cpu reset switch to start the programming sequence. On slave boards this switch is located at the bottom right hand corner of the board if you reach in with a finger on the right hand edge of each pcb you can feel the switch about half an inch up from the bottom terminal block (roughly in line with the R/H edge of that terminal block. On smaller panels it may be necessary to remove the batteries to gain access to the CPU reset switches.

P)     There is a slight knack with getting the timing right of pressing the cpu reset switch. I tend to hold the cpu reset switch down then click the automatic mode button on the PC window. I then release the cpu reset switch and the sequence will start indicated by a series of ticks on the progress indicator. Anyhow if you get it wrong you can try again no harm is done.

Q)    It is necessary to press the CPU reset button on each PCB in turn, only one PCB can be programmed at a time .

R)     Each PCB should be reset prior to moving on to program the next one. A yellow tell tale LED will pulse when the board is running the software. All lower boards must be flashing in order to be able to start a new flash programming sequence if an LED is extinguished you must press the CPU reset on that board to restart the software.

S)     When all boards are reprogrammed and restarted exit the engineers menu by pressing the menu button and the panel will reset and start running with the new software. If there have been any parameter changes in the new software the panel may display NOVRAM error faults see below for initialisation procedure.

 

Note:-  It is advisable to carry out a re initialisation of the panel parameters when new firmware has been loaded in case the parameter blocks have been changed.

 

To re initialise the parameters.

 

WARNING! All panel settings will be defaulted please ensure you have a backup of panel data from a previous download (Note- customers with beta version software with no download will be unable to perform this step and must create a new file from scratch.)

 

A)    Set all program mode switches on all PCBs to ‘ON’

B)     Enter access level 3 in the panel menu,

C)    Select set panel parameters

D)    Scroll to No 10 initialise panel parameters

E)     Select each board in turn and confirm initialisation for each one in turn

F)     When completed exit the menu and set the number of boards for the FSB17 display PCB as requested

 

The panel may now be downloaded or auto-learned as required.
