Upgrading PL7 Processors to Unity 2.xx

Upgradeable Premium Hardware

Each piece of hardware is identified by its processor type, PV (Product Version), and SV (Software Version).

The following tables show the only Premium hardware that can be upgraded from PL7 to Unity 2.••, and the equivalent processor types in Unity Pro.

(1) processor with an embedded Ethernet port

Upgrading PL7 to Unity OS

To upgrade the OS from PL7 to Unity 2.••, carry out the following procedure.

The following table describes the steps for upgrading a PL7 OS to Unity 2.••.

Step	Description	Associated Procedure	Communication Protocol
Upgrade the embedded Ethernet port firmware (1)	If the processor has an Ethernet port, upgrade it.	Ethernet port	FTP (Ethernet port)
Upgrade the processor with intermediate OS	The intermediate OS must be downloaded to the PLC before the final OS binary file.	Intermediate OS	UNTLW01 (Terminal port)
Reset the processor	Perform a cold start-up by pushing the PLC Reset button.	-	-
Upgrade the processor with final OS	The final OS binary file must be downloaded to the PLC.	Final OS	UNTLW01 (Terminal port)

(1) only for TSX P57 2623 and TSX P57 3623.

Location of the Files

The corresponding .bin files can be found:

On www.schneider-electric.com global website, in the menu Support → Documents & Software using the Search field (indicate for example the module name like TSXP572623, part of the module name like TSXP57, functionality to upgrade like copro, or firmware version if it is known like v310).
On the OS CD-ROM.

Example for the TSX P57 2623M.

CAUTION

IRREPARABLE EQUIPMENT DAMAGE

During OS transfer:

Never interrupt the power supply to the processor.
Never interrupt the OS transfer process.
Never interrupt the communication between PC and PLC.

Interrupting the transfer process before it has completed can cause irreparable damage to the device.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment damage.

Label the PLC

After upgrading a processor or network module from PL7 to Unity, we recommend placing a label on the front panel of the product to indicate that the processor type or network module has been upgraded.

The label should clearly display the following upgrade information for processors.
