• Chapter 1 describes how to use the TeSys Programmer with the following TeSys T communication
versions: Modbus RTU, CANopen, DeviceNet and Profibus.
• Chapter 2 describes how to use the TeSys Programmer with the following TeSys T communication
versions: Modbus TCP, Ethernet IP.
• Chapter 3 describes how to use the TeSys Programmer with LTMCU, LTMCUC and LTMCUF.
• Chapter 4 describes the new features and settings found in the Advanced Settings tab.
NOTICE:
Read these instructions carefully, and look at the equipment to become familiar with the device
before trying to install, operate, or maintain it.
WARNING
NOTICE
Once programming has begun, adhere to the following until the programming
process is complete:
• Close all other programs before starting programming.
• Do not close TeSys Programmer until the process is complete.
• Do not interrupt power to device.
• Do not disconnect the communication cable if programming is in progress.
• Remove all network cables except direct connections to this PC.
IMPORTANT: When upgrading/downgrading from a firmware version lower than 2.6 to a firmware version
greater than 2.6, you must first upgrade to firmware version 2.6 and then again to the higher firmware version.
(for example FW2.4 > FW. 2.6 >FW 2.7). The reverse is true for downgrading. For example, to downgrade
from FW 2.7 to FW 2.4 use sequence (FW2.7 > FW. 2.6 >FW 2.4).
One physical link shall be established between your PC and the LTMR, from a USB port of the PC to the
“LTME/HMI” port on the left side of the front face of the LTMR unit, as in Figure 1. To do so, use the
TCSMCNAM3M002P cable. Route the cable to the outside of the enclosure so the update can be performed
without exposure to energized equipment (doors closed and interlocked). The Ethernet version of Tesys T
requires a Cat 5 cable.
Figure 1
Note: it is recommended to make a direct link. Do not include the LTMCU or LTME in the link between the PC
and the LTMR.
Use a separate, externally supplied control power connection that is switched from outside of the enclosure.
The control voltage supply must match the LTMR input voltage. With the power OFF, connect power to the
“A1, A2” terminals of the LTMR (input polarity is indicated for DC models). Route the cable to the outside of
the enclosure so the update can be performed without exposure to energized equipment (doors closed and
interlocked).
1. Download and install BOTH “SoMove v2.6” or greater and “Tesys DTM Library v2.10.0” or
greater.
3. Unzip and Run the TeSys DTM Library executable file (Note: file may run with no pop-up
windows)
6. Identify the USB COM port used by the TCSMCNAM3M002P. To do so, connect the cable at
both ends, click the Start menu on your PC and search for “Device Manager”, as in Figure 2.
Open the Device Manager, then, click on Ports (Com & LPT) and read the number of the port
“TSX C USB 485”: In the example below, it is COM12, as in Figure 3.

figure.
Figure 12
8. The FW update is finished and you can exit the TeSys Programmer or continue using the tool.
Notice: If you access your TeSys T through a LTMCU, depending on the firmware upgrade
performed on TeSys T, you may have to update the language files of your TeSys T.
If this occurs, and languages files in LTMCU are not updated, the LTMCU displays “Error in
languages” when connected to TeSys T.
It is nevertheless possible to operate temporarily both the TeSys T and the LTMCU, but the new
TeSys T configuration parameters introduced by the new TeSys T FW version will not be
accessible. It is recommended to update the LTMCU languages as soon as possible. To do so,
use the LanDown tool and refer to the LTMCU User Manual.
LTCMU language file update may be necessary when LTMR is upgraded based on the following
compatibility rules as follows:
• LTMR FW version 2.5 or 2.6
o LTMCU language version must be 1.200 or higher.
• LTMR FW version 2.7 or higher
o LTMCU language version must be 1.300.
IMPORTANT: When upgrading/downgrading from a firmware version lower than 2.6 to a firmware version
greater than 2.6, you must first upgrade to firmware version 2.6 and then again to the higher firmware version.
(for example FW2.4 > FW. 2.6 >FW 2.7). The reverse is true for downgrading. For example, to downgrade
from FW 2.7 to FW 2.4 use sequence (FW2.7 > FW. 2.6 >FW 2.4).
The current chapter describes how to upgrade / downgrade a TeSys T LTMR Ethernet TCP/IP firmware
version.
It explains how to prepare the LTMR and the PC, how to connect them and how to run the programmer.
Two physical links shall be established between your PC and the LTMR, as per Figure 13.
One is a serial link from an USB port of the PC to the “LTME/HMI” port on the left side of the front face of the
LTMR unit. It uses the TCSMCNAM3M002P cable.
The second link is from the Ethernet port of your PC to any of the Ethernet ports of the LTMR, using one
Cat5 Ethernet cable. Route the cable to the outside of the enclosure so the update can be performed
without exposure to energized equipment (doors closed and interlocked).
