i For the PC Client software to read out the datalogger, the device connection settings (IP<br />
address of the panel and the communication port) must be set correctly<br />
(see section "Device connection settings"). In addition, it is necessary to switch on the panel<br />
and connect it to the network.<br />
During the read-out operation, the communication status is displayed in colour on the bottom<br />
edge of the PC Client software window.<br />
Device update - firmware and project data download<br />
Firmware download:<br />
The panel has the option of loading new firmware into the device memory via the Ethernet interface<br />
or USB. This operation may, for example, be necessary if, during device developmene,t<br />
new functions were created or are to be used. New functions or function adaptations are only<br />
available in the device when new firmware has been been fully programmed in the device<br />
memory.<br />
Firmware programming by USB is always possible in the ETS using the plug-in ("Settings -><br />
Options -> Hardware -> Transfer all on ext download", then "Download -> Start download").<br />
This operation can be carried out at any time, e.g. by the end user, via Ethernet or USB using<br />
the PC Client software without accessing the ETS.<br />
A firmware file must be available for the PC Client software to load firmware into the panel. The<br />
installation engineer or project planner of the KNX/EIB system can use the ETS plug-in of the<br />
panel to save the firmware file and - if required - hand it over to the end user. The firmware can<br />
be saved in the plug-in using "Settings -> Options -> Hardware".<br />
The end user then loads the file into the PC Client software under "Settings -> Firmware ..." and<br />
then executes a firmware download. The communication interface (IP or USB) can also be selected<br />
in this context.<br />
To enable a USB connection to the panel, the USB driver, which is a component part of the installation<br />
of the PC Client software, must be installed.<br />
During transmission via IP, the firmware is first fully loaded into the device. This process may<br />
take several minutes. During this time, the panel can still be operated. Only when the download<br />
is complete is the new firmware installed internally with a subsequent panel restart. With USB<br />
transmission, programming and installation take place at the same time. During this time, the<br />
panel cannot be operated.<br />
There is no project data in a device after a firmware programming operation using the PC Client<br />
software. The panel is constantly in the initialisation status and displays the Start screen. The<br />
project data must then be loaded into the device.<br />
Project data download:<br />
Just as with the ETS, the PC Client software can be used to load project planning data into the<br />
device. For example, the project data must e loaded if new firmware was previously programmed<br />
into the panel using the PC Client software. Irrespective of this, a project data download<br />
using the PC Client software can also be useful if, for example, an end user receives a<br />
project file from the installation engineer or project planner, which the user can then program into<br />
the device themselves, without accessing the ETS.<br />
A project file must be available for the PC Client software to load project planning data into the<br />
panel. The installation engineer or project planner of the KNX/EIB system can use the ETS<br />
plug-in of the panel to save the project file and - if required - hand it over to the end user. Selecting<br />
"Download -> Download to file" causes the ETS plug-in to generate a project file. The<br />
plug-in then compiles a project file with a new project ID and saves it in the specified directory.<br />
The name of the file saved in this manner contains the previously compiled project ID. The<br />
name can be changed, although the project ID within the file is not changed. The ID is important<br />
for a later remote connection or further programming operations, and permits the detection of<br />
valid project data. The file ending of the project file is defined as "*.mtc" and may not be<br />
changed.<br />
The end user then loads the file into the PC Client software under "Settings -> Firmware ..." and<br />
then executes a project data download. The communication interface (IP or USB) can also be<br />
selected in this context. Depending on the scope, project data planning may take several<br />
minutes.<br />
