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.
