The first step to update the device is to copy the update files on a USB stick. The USB stick has to be FAT32 formatted with only one partition.
Copy the OS and/or the files for the application that should run on the device into the root folder of the USB stick. The USB stick may contain other data, they will be ignored.
You can find the update files in the extracted zip file that you downloaded / got on your USB stick.
In Windows, the user.tar files are often shown as zip files. Never unzip these files or the update won't work! |
For OPUS Projektor: Starting from OPUS / WE Toolchain 1.11, the update files for the devices are included in the Projektor Tool. Go to the menu Update -> PClient / OS Update. In the dialog you can choose for which device you want to copy the OS and PClient files on the USB stick.
For older versions, check the downloaded zip file:
\PClient\OPUSAx\OPUSA3L(andscape)_BSP_PClient_Update (for landscape, for portrait it’s OPUSA3P(ortrait)_BSP_PClient_Update)
For ISO-VT: \OPUS Ax
For Codesys: \CustomerFiles\Device\OPUSAx
Power off the device and connect the USB stick with the update files with the USB port of the device (both the front USB slot and the USB cable from the main connector can be used).
There are two ways to start the device in update mode, you can use either one of them (but you don’t need to do both!):
a)Connect the clamp “Serv_EN” (service enable) with clamp 15 and 30 and then power on the device.
After some seconds a screen with “Maintenance” will be displayed. At this point please disconnect the clamp “Serv_EN”, otherwise the update will be done again after restart.
b)Press the left keys 1 and 2 and then power on the device while holding the keys (works only if you have a product version with keys).
After some seconds a screen with “Maintenance” will be displayed. At this point you can let go of the keys.
Sometimes it happens that the update doesn’t start initially and asks for a USB stick. If the update process didn’t start for about a minute, please disconnect the USB stick and connect it again. Then the update will start.
Let the update run through completely. Don’t disconnect the power when the reboot countdown is displayed |
Once the device restarted, there will be a touch screen calibration process, if the device has a touch screen. You can read about that process here.
