The calibration retrieval process is necessary tobe performed before updating the unit operative system, when the operating system is updated all the data in the relayis deleted, including the factory calibration settings. When only the firmware is updated (for versions higher than 1.50),the calibration settings are automatically saved in the relay.• Upgrade firmware version (Ethernet connection): Go to “Communications>Upgrade firmware version”, this menuallows the user to update the firmware version of the relay through Ethernet communication. Firmware is related to therelay internal program, designed by GE Multilin, which performs the protection and control functions, and which is runby the relay main microprocessor.• Upgrade operating system (Serial and Ethernet connection): Go to “Communications>Upgrade operating system”.This option allows the user to update the relay operative system. The operative system or OS is the program thatsupports the firmware and provides auxiliary services for access to electronic devices included in the relay.IMPORTANT NOTE:Thanks to the use of a double flash memory, one with the Bootcode startup program and the operative system, and asecond one with the application program (firmware), a high reliability is guaranteed when updating the unit firmware, aseven if the case of a communication breakdown during the firmware upgrade process, we can retry the process for anunlimited number of times.• Upgrade 650 web server (Ethernet connection): Go to “Communications> Upgrade 650 web server”. The relay webserver application can be updated to further versions (if available) using this menu without modifying the relayoperative system.• Upload info files to relay (Ethernet connection): Go to “Communications>Upload info files to relay”. Thisfunctionality is used to store setting files (*.650) inside the relay, as well as auxiliary files used by the programmablelogic graphical editor (*.pep, *.aut, *.lib).• Download info files from relay (Ethernet connection): Go to “Communications>Download info files from relay”.This functionality is used for retrieving the files (*.650 and *.pep, *.aut, *.lib) that have been previously stored in therelay flash memory.Important Note:READ CAREFULLY THE FLASH MEMORY UPDATE PROCEDURE DESCRIBED INSECTION 9 AND CLOSE ALL THE RUNNING APPLICATIONS BEFOREPERFORMING FIRMWARE AND OPERATIVE SYSTEM UPDATING PROCCESSBefore updating firmware check that the firmware version that is going to be updatedmatch the operative system version of the relay. Otherwise it is necessary to update theoperative system before proceeding to update the firmware. Other combinations offirmware and operative system different from the listed below will not be operativeThe operative system version is available in the logotype main screen in HMI; it is thenumber between brackets in the first line, e.g. W6501.70 (2.35). The operative systemversion is 2.35Firmware version up to 1.5X must be used with Boot Code 2.30 (or 2.20 and 2.35)Firmware version from 1.6X up to 1.8X must be used with Boot Code 2.35Firmware version 2.00 must be used with Boot Code 3.00*.650 files contain protection, control settings, relay configuration and compiled logicequations. This file can be retrieved from the relay, using the “File>Get info fromrelay” option in EnerVista 650 Setup (through serial or Ethernet communication).“File>Send info to relay” option stores this *.650 file in the relay.
