Hello
I am trying to upgrade the firmware in 10 Panelview Plus 1000 terminals at a site that we are upgrading. The part numbers are shown below.
PV Plus - 2711P-K10C4D2 (Ser A, Rev D)
Logic Module - 2711P-RPX (Ser B, Rev D)
I created a firmware upgrade CF card using the wizard, the current terminal firmware is 3.2 (CPR6) and I am trying to upgrade to 4.0 (CPR7). The CF card was successfully created and I used the following steps.
1. Backed up the MER application.
2. Deleted the old application.
3. Disabled Auto Start app.
3. Reset the terminal.
4. Inserted the CF card.
The firmware upgrade started ok and I could see the files being copied across. The terminal then rebooted (which I assumed it would at some point during the process) but during the boot sequence the error message '40 EXE check' was displayed . I can no longer communicate with or gain access to any part of the PV+, it just boots to this error and then stops.
I read a few previous posts on forums which said that it could be a hardware fault and the unit would need returning to Rockwell, so (rightly or wrongly) i tried to same process on the next PV+ that needed upgrading, and now I have two units with the identical problem.
Any advice would be gratefully received before I end up with a big box of 10 dead panelviews
