Changing an Application with Control Expert

Overview

This chapter describes briefly how to change a V1.0, V2.0, V2.1 or V2.2, V2.3, or V2.4 application into a V2.5 (or later) application. Refer to Control Expert documentation for the detailed procedure of each step.

Prerequisites

Before changing the application version from V1.0, V2.0, V2.1, V2.2, V2.3, or V2.4 to V2.5 (or later), verify the module firmware version and update it if necessary:

Modicon M340 CPU firmware: V2.5 or later. For CANopen CPU modules, refer to BMX P34 2010 or BMX P34 2030 Specific Update Procedure.
BMX NOE 01•0 module firmware: V2.0 or later.

The following procedures describe how to change an application version in Unity Pro V6.0 or later.

NOTE: Unity Pro is the former name of Control Expert for version 13.1 or earlier.

Changing Application Version Without BMX NOE 01x0 Module

For example, to change an application without a BMX NOE 01•0 module from V1.0, V2.0, V2.1, V2.2, V2.3 or V2.4 to V2.5 (or later), proceed as follows:

Step	Action
1	Launch Control Expert Configuration screen.
2	Replace the CPU from V1.0, V2.0, V2.1, V2.2, V2.3, or V2.4 to V2.5 (or later). NOTE: CANopen CPUs higher than V2.0 are provided with a new part number.
3	Build the application and transfer it to the CPU.

Changing Application Version with BMX NOE 01x0 Module

For example to change an application with a BMX NOE 01•0 module configured in the application with a software version lower than V2.0, proceed as follows:

Step	Action
1	Launch Control Expert Configuration screen.
2	Delete the BMX NOE 01•0 module.
3	Replace the CPU from V1.0, V2.0, V2.1, V2.2, V2.3, or V2.4 to V2.5 (or later).
4	Add the BMX NOE 01•0.2 module.
5	Change the Ethernet network Model Family from NOE 0100, NOE 0110 to NOE 0100.2, NOE 0110.2 (in Project Browser → Communication → Networks select the concerned Ethernet network).
6	Enable (set to Yes) the following network parameters if they were previously configured: IO Scanning Global Data Address Server
7	Link this family to the BMX NOE 01•0.2 module.
8	Build the application and transfer it to the CPU.

Updating Both Firmware and Application with an SD Card

Refer to Control Expert documentation to build such an SD card.
