Upgrade a fieldbus device: activate previously downloaded software

If, at an earlier time, you selected to download software and not activate it, you can later rerun the DeltaV Controller and I/O Upgrade Utility and select to activate the previously downloaded software.

To activate previously downloaded software:

  1. Select H1 Fieldbus Device from the drop-down list in the opening window of the DeltaV Controller and I/O Upgrade Utility and click the Next button.
  2. Select the controller node and click the Next button.
  3. Select the fieldbus card and click the Next button.
  4. Select the upgrade option Activate previously downloaded software and click the Next button.
  5. A dialog is displayed asking you to select a port. After selecting a port, a list of all of its Standby and Commissioned H1 devices is displayed.
  6. Select a device. The DeltaV Controller and I/O Upgrade Utility connects to the device and determines if there is software in the device that is ready to be activated. Messages may be shown that describe certain conditions associated with the activation.

    Both the current software version running in the device and the new software version of the selected file are displayed. It may not be obvious which of the two versions is more recent in terms of manufacturer release because the format of the software version is manufacturer specific. You need to be aware of the upgrade file names and determine which version should be running in the device.

    You can select more than one device, and you can deselect a device by clicking it again.

    You can press the Refresh Devices button to update the list without losing any existing selections.

    Note

    After selecting a device, you can right-click it and select Properties from the context menu to view additional information about the device and the upgrade.

  7. Click Next to continue. The devices to be activated are listed.
  8. Click Next to initiate the upgrade and Yes on the warning dialog to confirm the upgrade.
