How to Update both Core Controller CF Card and HMI Software

When its required to update both Core Controller and HMI projects, it will save some time if the
previously entered machine parameters are saved before update and restored when the update is
complete. The sequence is described in the following instructions:
1. On running 2Touch control system insert the memory stick into HMI USB slot, go to the
2Touch screen 502 and push the BACKUP button to back up the parameters to HMI USB.
2. Update the Core Controller CF Card image. Turn the 2Touch controls power OFF.
If you used the OPC Server PC, disconnect both communication and power supply - you don't
need it any more.
Remove an old CF card from the Core Controller and insert the new one.
3. Power up 2Touch system, wait until it starts.
Leave the 2Touch components running for 10 minutes. (Within 10 minutes the Core Controller
will retrieve the parameters from HMI and copy it into its own memory)
4. Now you can update the HMI Firmware and Software.
5. Once the HMI project update is complete, and the HMI has started again, go to the 2Touch
screen 502 and push the RESTORE button to restore the parameters from HMI USB.

How to Update Decanter 2Touch HMI Software

HMI Software may require updating when new software release becomes available. Current
document explains how it is done.
1. To update the HMI Software one needs to have the USB memory stick, the PC, the Decanter
2Touch SW package V X.XX.XX archive.
2. Files needed for update are contained in the folder HMI Software V X.XX.XX, that is extracted
from the Decanter 2Touch SW package V X.XX.XX archive file.
3. HMI project loading is done from the USB memory stick. Insert it into your pc USB slot.
4. Go inside the folder HMI Software V X.XX.XX. Find the folder called Project and copy it with
all contents into the root directory of your USB memory stick. Pasting the folder Project into
the root directory is very important, as otherwise HMI will not find the update files.
On example below you can see two folders in the root directory: Decanter Backup and Project:
5. Undo four thumb screws and remove the back cover access hatch. No tools required.
6. Plug the loaded with project memory stick into HMI USB port, turn HMI power off, then turn it
on again.
7. The HMI boots up and displays the Update project pop up window asking to confirm if the
project is to be copied from USB. Answer Yes.
Note: The pop up window will only be visible for about 20 seconds, so the Yes answer has to
be given before the end of that time period. After that, the HMI will continue to try to start from
the internal flash memory.
8. If the HMI has already contained the previous project files, another pop up window will ask if
project backup is needed. Answering No will erase all old project files. Answer Yes if you
want to save an old project, but make sure your USB memory has enough room to receive the
old project backup files. Depending on version updated it may require up to 100 Mb free
space.
9.
In approximately one minute the transfer is complete, the HMI panel will restart. Booting up
may take another couple of minutes. Now the new project is running and the memory stick can
be removed.
10. Its been noticed what certain brands USB memory sticks (e.g. Kingston) or those of high
capacity over 2 GB may not be suitable for HMI project software loading. You may have to try
another USB memory device if the one you are trying is not recognized.

How to update the Core Controller from the HMI USB

It is possible to update the Core Controller software from the HMI panel i.e. without handling the CF
card on the Core Controller directly. This is especially convenient in installation, where the Core
Controller is not easily accessed.
This feature is implemented in the following software versions:
HMI
Core Controller
V2.02.00 (June 2011) and newer version

V2.00.00 (August 2010) and newer versions
As a result it is possible to update both the HMI and Core Controller from the USB port on the HMI
panel even on existing installation with software version dating from the second half of 2010: First
update the HMI application and then update the Core Controller via the HMI.
There are two types of software for the Core Controller:
CF generate
This type is used to write the software onto the

CF card using a PC with card reader/writer as
described in a different How to... guide.
USB update
This type is used to update the Core Controller

from the USB port on the HMI
Place update files on USB memory stick

a) Use a PC to copy the folder with the software update on to the USB memory stick. The name
of the folder is:
UpdateCCFromHMI
b) If the USB update is for the CP1484 Core Controller, the folder with the software update has
the following contents:
Folder:
File:
X20CP1484_default
Update.xml
c) The result should be as shown on this picture (the drive letter of the USB memory is not
necessarily E:\ - this is OK):
Revision 12

d) If the USB update is for the CP1484-1 Core Controller, the folder with the software update has
the following contents:
Folder:
Folder:
File:
X20CP1484_1
X20CP1484_default

How to Update Decanter 2Touch HMI Firmware on T150 panels

Current document explains how the HMI Firmware is updated.
1. To update the HMI Firmware one needs to have the PC, the Ethernet crossover type cable,
the HMI Firmware V X.X.XXX update.
2. First you need to set up your laptop to the same network with the HMI. Go to the Properties of
the Local Area Connection
3. Scroll down to the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and hit the Properties button below
Revision 12
Page 23 of 36

61211296
4. Select Use the following IP address option and enter the IP address and Subnet mask. Please
note that the goal is to make your pc to network with the HMI and two scenarios are possible:
-
if you are updating brand new panel, it has default IP address set to 192.168.1.1 and you need
to set the laptop IP address to e.g. 192.168.1.100 and subnet mask to 255.255.255.0.
if you are updating Firmware in a panel that has been already used in 2Touch installation, its IP
address has already been set to 192.168.0.20 and you have to set the laptop IP address to e.g.
192.168.0.100 and subnet mask to 255.255.255.0.
5. The firewalls enabled with Symantec Endpoint Protection software on Alfa Laval computers do
not affect dedicated channels allocated for communication between your pc and 2Touch HMI
panel. The traffic required for the HMI Firmware Update is therefore always allowed.
Though it was discovered that if the Cisco Systems VPN Client firewalls are enabled, the
communication to the HMI will not be possible. Before you start 2Touch HMI Firmware Update
please make sure where is no checkmark appears near the Stateful Firewall (Always On)
option in the VPN Client Options drop down menu.
