Object of this This chapter describes how to prepare a Premium PLC in order to update or
Chapter upgrade PLC’s Operating System and / or Ethernet modules.
Prerequisites This update requires a PC with Unity installed and the binary file containing
the OS firmware to download.
Connecting the Although Ethernet allows a remote access via the network and then the
PC to the PLC upload / download procedure, we strongly recommend installing the
to update an processor with the embedded Ethernet module in a system consisting of only
Ethernet the CPU, Power Supply and Rack. Once done,
module Configure the PLC system with an empty program containing only the
ETY IP address configuration. Note that the ETY module must be on
the same logical Ethernet network than the PC with the OS loader (for
that both IP address, Subnet mask and default gateway must be
compatible)
Ensure the only devices connected to the Ethernet network are the PC
running the OS loader and the ETY module
The CPU must be in Stop mode and the ETY module must have no
TCP traffic.
The physical connection between the PC running the OS loader and the ETY
module can be performed :
by connecting directly a “crossed” Ethernet cable between the PC and
the ETY module
by connecting the PC and the ETY module with two “non crossed”
Ethernet cables via a Hub
Connecting the Two possibilities can be proposed to connect the PC to the PLC :
PC to the PLC
for an OS 1) Using the RS232 COM port of the PC by connecting the cable
update TSXPCX1031 to the TER port of the Premium PLC. The rotary switch of the
cable must be set on TER DIRECT and the Unitelway driver already installed
on the PC.
Note that the cable TSXPCX3030 (no more commercialized) can be used to
connect the USB port of the PC to the TER port of the PLC.
2. Upgrading a Premium PLC from PL7 to Unity
Object of this This chapter describes how to upgrade a Premium PLC from PL7 to Unity.
Chapter The screens shots given below show how to upgrade a TSX P57 253 (PL7) to
TSX P57 254 (Unity). This procedure is similar for all other type of PLC’s
Warning Upgrading a PLC from PL7 to Unity requires to perform three main phases :
Connecting the This phase is fully described in the chapter 1 of this document.
PC to the PLC
Launching the The OS Loader (installed with Unity) allows the user to download the
OS loader Operating System to the PLC. To open it, click on
Start/Program/Schneider-Electric/Unity-PRO/OS loader
To download the operating System into the PLC select the Unitelway
Get the PL7 Knowing which PL7 version is installed on the processor could be useful if
version for any reason a restore function from Unity to PL7 is needed. For that
(optional) proceed as follow :
1
Select the PLC
4
Note this version number to avoid compatibility issues between the
5 application program and the OS if for any reason the previous CPU
Os (PL7) has to be restored.
6
Press the button to return back to the OS update process
Select the From the screen described above in the section “Select the Target Device”
Download
Function press the button. A new screen is proposed : select “Download
OS to device”
Select the file to
download Click on the button in order to select the file to download into the
PLC. In this example we will update the OS from TSX P57 253 to TSX P57
254. For that select the folder Premium\Processors_modules\PL7_to_Unity\
and select TSXP57253_to_254 (in your case, select the folder according to
your processor)
For an upgrade from PL7 to Unity two binary files can be selected :
PL7_to_Unity_254.bin (allows to “format” the processor for Unity)
TSXP57254M_V240.bin is the OS that will finally be download in the
processor
Solve this issue and continue. When the hardware - OS are compatible, click
Warning : During the download, do not power OFF the PLC, neither
disconnect the cable nor shut down the OS loader. If unfortunately it
happens, the PLC may have lost some important files and therefore be unable
to run correctly and must be returned back for repair.
Presentation The final binary file “TSXP57254M_V240.bin” (in our example) has to be
downloaded.
For that, follow the same procedure as the one described in the Phase 1.
Download As all the actions necessary to download the final Unity OS have been
procedure already fully described in the Phase 1, they are shortly reminded here after :
Select the target device and click on the button. The next
screen appears after few seconds.
3
Click on the button and select (for our example) the file
“TSXP57254M_V240.bin” located on the CD OS. Then valid this
screen
on the button
Click on
Click on .
In our example, the CPU has been upgraded to TSX P57 254M and the OS
version is 2.31 40.
3. Updating a Premium PLC from Unity to Unity
Object of this This chapter describes how to update a Premium PLC from Unity version >=
Chapter V2.0 to a more recent one. Note that the update from Unity V1.0 to V2 and
above is not provided.
The screens shots given below show how to update a TSX P57 454 processor.
Connecting the This phase is fully described in the chapter 1 of this document
PC to the PLC
Launching the The OS Loader (installed with Unity allows the user to download the
OS loader Operating System to the PLC. To open it click on Start/Progam/Schneider-
Electric/Unity-PRO/OS loader
To download the operating System into the PLC select the Unitelway
Select the
Target Device
Get the Unity Before the update, knowing which Unity version is already installed on the
version processor could be useful if for any reason a restore function is needed. For
(optional) that proceed as follow :
1
Select the PLC
Select the From the screen described above in the section “Select the Target Device”
Download
Function press the button. A new screen is proposed : select “Download
OS to device”
Select the file to
download Click on the button in order to select the file to download into the
PLC. In this example we will update the TSX P57 454 OS from version 2.31
to V2.40. For that select the folder :
Premium\Processors_modules\Unity_Upgrade\ and select TSXP57254 (in
your case, select the folder according to your processor)
Solve this issue and continue. When the hardware - OS are compatible, click
Warning : During the download, do not power OFF the PLC, neither
disconnect the cable nor shut down the OS loader. If unfortunately it
happens, the PLC may have lost some important files and therefore be unable
to run correctly and must be returned back for repair.
Reset the PLC Once the download of the OS file completed, the PLC has to be initialized.
This task can be performed by one of the two following actions:
Reset the PLC by pushing on the Reset button located on the PLC’s
power supply (for more information, refer to the PLC technical
documentation
Power OFF then ON the PLC.
Checking If needed, you can check the new CPU version. For that
version Open the OS loader tool,
(optional) Select the protocol (UNITLW01),
Click on ,
Click on .
In our example the processor TSX P57 454M has been updated to the version
2.40-46.
