There are three procedures to perform RTE loading (file rte_ppc-g2_vv-r-b.bin or rte_ppc-p2020_vv-r-b.bin) on controllers RBXM, uRMC, RP-1:

Recommended and quick procedure

If you have a compact flash reader, simply replace the rte_PPC_vv-r-b.bin file in the folder with the one containing the updated version.

Recommended but slow procedure

Assumes that the RTE firmware to be updated is active on the axis controller.

From RDE shell:

•Load the new firmware using the FLOAD command drive:\percorso\ rte_PPC_vv-r-b.bin

•Delete the firmware using the command FDEL /F@/ rte_PPC_vv-r-b.bin (the command will be honored because the previous RTE is still present in DRAM)

Emergency procedure

Executable only from OSEP base firmware.

•Connect the pc's serial cable to the P.SER1 port of the motion controller

•Turn on the motion controller to be upgraded WITH the compact flash inserted by holding down the ADV key for 10 seconds

•Then release the ADV key

•Press the ADV key again

•Launch the RDE program and send from the shell tool the following command:

FLOAD -MAIN drive:\path\ rte_PPC_vv-r-b.bin

•Wait for the end of the loading by verifying that the operation is completed correctly, if not, send the command again

•At the end of the procedure, RTE will be running in DRAM memory, consequently it will be necessary to copy the file to the compact flash using the command:

FLOAD drive:\path\ rte_PPC_vv-r-b.bin /F@/

•At this point at the next switch on, the RTE operating system will be loaded.

NOTE: Use the SYSINFO or D VE command from RDE shell to view the current version of RTE.

NOTE: RTE versions are contained in the RDE installation directory subdirectory ..\ETC\RTE\FIRMWARE.
