9 Installation and Migration

9.1 Prerequisites

Before you begin the download, there are a few things you need to be aware of:

1. PRIOR TO STARTING THE UPGRADE, THE PROCESS MUST BE TAKEN OFF-LINE.

The code download procedure requires that the controller be put into the Program mode. In this mode, all outputs are forced to their off state.

2. Code Download can take from approximately 5 minutes using Ethernet.

Therefore, it is highly recommended that you do not start the code download procedure at a time when the likelihood of power failure is increased, such as during thunderstorms.

3. The code download function is only available through the Utilities tab of the Hybrid Control Designer program or the Hybrid Control Utilities program. The upgrade is available only via the controller Ethernet port.

4. The controller will not allow the controller firmware download to begin if there is a low battery diagnostic for both Front and Rear.

5. Code download will destroy the configuration database in the controller. Therefore, before code download is started, you must upload it into the Hybrid Control Designer and save it. Save As a 900 model 6.60x file.

6. The upgrade files are distributed as a complete package and must reside in a unique subdirectory separate from any other previously distributed firmware upgrade files. Failure to comply could result in abnormal behavior when performing the upgrade.

7. Program Mode:

Before starting the Controller Firmware Download, make sure the controller is in the "Program Lock" mode.

To enter "Program Lock" mode, turn the Mode Switch counter-clockwise to the position labeled "Pgm".

NOTE: During Firmware download, HCD UI status update may hang but download will still continue to happen in background. Please do not kill HC application during this stage.

9.2 Migration Considerations

NA


9.3 Installation Instructions

NA

9.4 Migration Instructions

Step 1: Backup the controller configuration as described in step 4 of GETTING

STARTED above.

Step 2: Make sure the controller is in "Program Lock" or "Program" mode.

Step 3: Select the Utilities Worksheet tab on the HC Designer or Utilities.

Step 4: From the "Controller Utility Functions" select "Download to Controller". On the sub-menu, select "Controller Firmware", then "Controller Module".

Step 5: Use the "Look in:" drop down list in the "Open" dialog box to select the drive and folder you placed the files in.

Step 6: Select and open the CPU file for you particular HC900 controller model displayed in the file list box.

Step 7: Select the "Port" as Network and "Address" on the "Download File" dialog box.

Step 8: Click on the "Start" button in the "Download File" dialog box. The download will start, and progress is displayed. The download itself will take several minutes, depending on the Port type and connection speed.

Step 9: A "Code download complete. The controller will now reset" status will be displayed in the "Download File" dialog box. If a failure is detected, an error message will appear in the Status section of the "Download File" dialog box. See "Error Messages" for a list of possible messages and resolutions. Also, see “Failure Modes”.

Step 10: Restore the configuration (.CDE file) from the backup copy you previously made.

Step 11: Return the mode switch to "Run" or "Run Lock" if "Program Lock" was used to do the upgrade.

Note: In case of downgrade from 6.6x to older versions, user need to use new loader.s19 file (copy the new loader.s19 file from 6.6x to required Firmware folder).


9.5 Retry in case of failure

If there is a download failure indication on the "Download File" dialog box:

• DO the controller power cycle and DO NOT remove the battery

• Check the physical connections.

• Check for power failures.

• Check if you are loading firmware file corresponding to physical module type.

9.6 Post installation Instructions

NA

10 Un-Install Instructions NA
