SOFTWARE UPDATE AND CONFIGURATION

0463 660 001

- 15 -

SOFTWARE UPDATE AND CONFIGURATION

The software in the wire feeder consists of three parts, system software (application

software), secondary bootloader and primary bootloader.

USB handling

USB is used for software update, configuration and for extracting service log.

The amount of files saved on a USB flash drive used for software update, configuration and

retrieving service log, should be limited! It is possible to have other files on the same USB

drive but our recommendation is to only keep script files, system software files and

log files on the drive. There may only be one script file or one system software on the

USB drive. The wire feed unit will ignore all other file types. The script file or system

software file must be stored in the root catalogue of the USB drive.

Script files

Script files are used to demand the wire feed unit to do something, i.e. to configure or to

retrieve a service log. A script file must always be renamed "sparc.script" when it is saved to

the USB drive.

System software files

This section is valid for files used for application software update and secondary bootloader

update. A software update file must always be renamed “sparc.fcf” when it is saved to the

USB drive.

Files location

All system software files and script files are accessible to download through a link on each

country/regions local partner login site.

SOFTWARE UPDATE AND CONFIGURATION

0463 660 001

- 16 -

Application software update

Before starting the software update, make sure the following are available:

• a USB flash drive

• the correct system software file

• the appropriate configuration file for the feeder model and variant

The system software file will make sure that the wire feeder is updated.

1. Copy the system software file (filename.fcf) to the USB drive.

2. Rename the file sparc.fcf.

3. Insert the USB flash drive into the wire feeder USB connector.

The software update starts and after some seconds three LED segments (---) start

scrolling across the wire feeder display. The software update takes less than one

minute. When the update is completed, the wire feeder automatically restarts.

4. Wait for the startup process to be completed! When the startup process is

completed, the text "USB" is presented with fixed light in the wire feeder display.

5. When the "USB" text is presented with fixed light, remove the USB flash drive.

NOTE!

After update has been performed, it is recommended to configure the wire feeder

using the latest version of the appropriate script file (see section "Software

configuration", page17).

Section 2 – db ls

This command lists the configuration as available in the wire feeder. The configuration

parameters are grouped together according to their use (data related to printed circuit board

is grouped in HardwareData etc.).

Section 5 – active

The scope lists the current errors present in the wire feeder system. Errors are never stored

persistently. However the event in which an error occurred is stored, but in the log and the

syslog.

Section 6 – syslog

The system log contains events which affect the system in some way. The events are listed

in the reverse chronological order, i.e. the newest event is presented first and the oldest

event is presented last. Each line contains the following metadata of the event:
