Recommended Method

The recommended method for configuring the field panel editors is to load or upgrade the User Interface file using the Human-Machine Interface (HMI).

  • Copy the UIUpgrade folder and its contents from Standard Apps/Beacon or the Desigo CC installation disk onto the root of a USB memory device (such as a thumb drive). Do not change the folder or file structure.
Information

NOTE:
The files within the UIUpgrade folder include wsroot/ApogeeEditor.swf, as well as language (.mo) files and other support files.

  1. Insert the USB memory device into the USB port of the field panel.
Information

NOTE:
Due to USB memory device manufacturer, size, and contents, the time to detect the device will vary from several seconds to one or more minutes. You may verify that the device is attached by using the HMI commands S/H/F/F/L to list the available drives on the field panel, and confirm that Drive B is listed.

  1. Use the HMI Uiupgrade function (System/Hardware/Ethernet/Webserver/Uiupgrade). When prompted, type Y for Yes, and press ENTER.
  • The User Interface and support files will be installed from the USB memory device in the field panel’s Drive B, to the field panel’s internal flash drive (IFD) and to the field panel’s Drive A.
  • Files stored in the IFD are preserved when a field panel restarts.
