4.2 Programming the firmware
Although the controller is delivered with the latest firmware available at the moment of production, it
may be necessary to upgrade the firmware in future. The process of programming the firmware
involves the following steps:
1. First you need the requested firmware. Firmware of standard branch and major versions are
distributed and installed together with the LiteEdit installation package. Release versions and
branches are distributed as import packages that need to be imported into LiteEdit.
2. The latest installation and/or import packages are available for download at www.comap.cz.
Please register to get access to the download page. Registration is free.
3. The import package is a file with the IWE extension. To perform the import, start LiteEdit, do
not open any connections, go to Options -> Import firmware and select the appropriate file.
4. Create an online connection to the controller and save the archive for backup purposes.
NOTE:
It is not possible to update firmware when the connection is offline!
5. Go to the menu Controller -> Programming and cloning -> Programming, select the
appropriate firmware and press the OK button.
6. The selected firmware will be programmed into your controller.
