Ethernet download method
The Ethernet method is the fastest way to download new firmware, taking just a few seconds. In order to repair for this method, both a
serial & Ethernet connection must be made to the AK-SC255. The AK-SC255 should have a valid IP address that is in the same net range
as the PC that will load the code. Once both PC & AK-SC255 have valid IP addresses, connect a serial cable (Danfoss # 080Z0262) to the
AK-SC255 and the connecting PC. The following steps highlight the procedure for using the Ethernet method;
•
Ensure AK-SC255 & PC has valid Ethernet & Serial connections
•
Remove jumper JP2 (next to the service reset button on the AK-SC255 PCB - New style AK-SC255 box units)
•
Re-Set AK-SC255 & World map should be displayed (Valid IP address should be shown on this screen)
•
Open Codeloader V4.0
•
Select the correct (Serial) com port used on the PC to connect to the AK-SC255
•
Browse for the software file (i.e. VE02_081.cmot).
•
Select the 'Send Net' button & Observe download progress
Once compete, replace jumper & re-set AK-SC255 - New firmware will now be displayed in the AK-SC255
Serial download method
The Serial method can be used on site, where no IP connectivity is available and only a serial connection can be made. Codeloader V4.0
allows a 'point to point' connection to the AK-SC255 & PC via the Danfoss cable (080Z0262).
The following steps highlight the procedure for using the serial connection method;
•
