8. The FW update is finished and you can exit the TeSys Programmer or
continue using the tool.
NOTE: 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
◦ LTMCU language version must be 1.200 or higher.
• LTMR FW version 2.7 or higher
◦ LTMCU language version must be 1.300.

Prepare your PC
Connection through USB to Serial
1. Download and install BOTH “SoMove v2.6” or greater and “Tesys DTM
Library v2.10.0” or greater.
2. Unzip and Run the SoMove executable file.
NOTE: This will also install the Modbus Driver Suite for cable
TCSMCNAM3M002P.
3. Unzip and Run the TeSys DTM Library executable file (Note: file may run with
no pop-up windows)
4. 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 15, page 15. 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 16, page 15.
