1. Preparing a Quantum update
Object of this
Chapter
This chapter describes how to prepare a Quantum PLC in order to update or
upgrade PLC’s Operating System and / or Ethernet modules.
Prerequisites
This update requires a PC with Unity Pro installed and the binary file
containing the OS firmware to download.
Software
The following softwares are required:
Unity Version 2.0 mini must be installed on the PC (note that it is not
necessary to launch Unity for an OS upgrade).
The eCD “Unity OS firmware” is provided on www.schneider-
electric.com and contains all the OS for Quantum, Premium and M340
PLC’s.
The OS loader (provided with Unity Pro ). This tool allows the user to
download PLC’s Operating System and Ethernet modules firmware.
Preparing a Quantum update
5/52
Connecting the
PC to the PLC
for an OS
update or
upgrade
The Quantum CPU OS can only be downloaded by a direct connection
between the PC and the CPU by the MODBUS or MODBUS+ ports. Note
that MODBUS+ is faster and takes significantly less time to download a
binary. The CPU USB port doesn’t allow downloading an OS.
Important: Using Modbus or Modbus Plus, only address 1 is allowed for
downloading. Ensure that no other device on the network is using
address 1 .
Several possibilities can be proposed to connect the PC to the PLC depending
on the mix processor/protocol:
For Quantum CPU 140CPU 311 10, 140CPU 434 12U and
140CPU 534 14 BU:
• Using the RS232 COM port 1 of the PC by connecting the cable 990
NAA 263 20 (3.7 m) or 990 NAA 263 50 (15 m) to the MODBUS 9 pin
sub-D of the Quantum PLC. The protocol used in this case is MODBUS.
• Using the cables 990NAD21110 (2.4m) or 990NAD21130 (6m)
connected to the MODBUS+ 9 pin sub-D of the Quantum PLC. The
protocol used in this case is MODBUS+.
For Quantum CPU 140 CPU 6x1y0 (65150, 65160, 65160S, 65260,
67160,67261, 67160S):
• Using the adapter 110XCA20300 connected to the RS232 9 pin sub-D
connector of the PC (COM port) and to the RJ45 Modbus port of the PLC
via a cable 110 XCA28201 (1m) , 110 XCA28202 (3m) or 110XCA28203
(6m). The protocol used in this case is MODBUS.
• Using the cables 990NAD21810 (2.4m) or 990NAD21830 (6m). The
protocol used in this case is MODBUS+.
• Using the Modbus Plus Device TSXCUSBMBP
Have a look on Appendix 7 for Modbus Plus USB converter drivers
installation in your PC.
In any case the right communication driver must be first installed on the PC.
Note: The most examples given in this document are using the Modbus
protocol.
Preparing a Quantum update
6/52
Connecting the
PC to the
Ethernet
module or PLC
coprocessor to
update the
Ethernet
firmware
Although Ethernet allows a remote access via the network and then the
upload / download procedure, we strongly recommend installing the
processor with the embedded Ethernet module in a system consisting of only
the CPU, Power Supply and Rack. Once done,
Configure the PLC system with an empty program containing only the IP
address configuration. Note that the Ethernet module must be on the same
logical Ethernet network than the PC with the OS loader (for that both IP
address, Subnet mask and default gateway must be compatible).
Ensure the only devices connected to the Ethernet network are the PC
running the OS loader and the CPU , NOE or CRP module,
The CPU must be in Stop mode and the NOE and CRP modules must
have no TCP traffic.
The physical connection between the PC running the OS loader and the CPU
or Ethernet communications modules can be performed:
by connecting directly a “crossed” Ethernet cable between the PC and the
Ethernet Communication module
by connecting the PC and the CPU or Ethernet Communication module
with two “non crossed” Ethernet cables via a Hub.
In these 2 cases, FTP protocol is used and only the Ethernet Coprocessor
firmware of the CPU can be updated by this way.

Object of this
Chapter
This chapter describes how to upgrade a Quantum PLC from Concept to
Unity. The screens shots given below show how to upgrade a
140 CPU 434 12A (Concept) to 140 CPU 434 12U (Unity). The procedure is
similar for an upgrade of 140 CPU 534 14A/B (Concept) to
140 CPU 534 14U/BU (Unity).
Important
Upgrading a PLC from Concept to Unity requires to perform three main
phases:

Important
: To upgrade a Modicon Quantum Hot Standby with Unity OS
loader without shutting down the process, the current application program
must be executable by the new OS. Observe this requirement when installing
minor revisions targeted for bug fixes or minor enhancements. When a major
function enhancement needs to be made, maintaining this compatibility may
not be possible. In this case, to perform an OS upgrade requires a system shut
down.

At the moment only Head communication module 140CRP31200 is
concerned by this procedure.
Important
:
•
The both CRPs must have the same SoftwareVersion .
•
Begin the update by CPUs then CRP modules.
Upgrading a Quantum Hot Standby PLC
49/52
Upgrading PLC
while the
process is
running
The Executive Upgrade feature allows upgrading the OS of the Standby
controller while the Primary controller continues to control the process.
However, during the upgrade, the system can no longer be considered as
redundant. That is, there is no Standby available to assume control if the
Primary should fail before the Standby upgrade is complete.
Upgrading the
OS without
stopping
Under normal operating conditions, both controllers in a redundant system
must have the same versions of firmware. In fact, there are checks done by
the controllers to detect if there is a mismatch in firmware.
Normally, when a mismatch exists, performing a switchover would not be
possible because the Secondary controller would not be allowed to be
Standby.
However, to allow an OS Upgrade without stopping the application, it is
possible to set the “upgrade without stopping” command in Command
Register system word %SW60 (bit %SW60.4 - Details on the Modicon
Quantum Hot Standby with Unity command register can be found in
Understanding the Unity Command Register, p. 113).
Note:
Enabling OS upgrade without stopping the application disable the
checking between the Primary and Standby configuration. Disable the
“upgrade without stopping” bit as soon as the OS upgrade is finished.
OS upgrade is possible only with compatible firmware.

Upgrade
procedure
Important:
Using Modbus or Modbus Plus, only address 1 is allowed for
downloading. Ensure that no other device on the network is using address 1.
1.
Connect to the Primary (through Modbus, Modbus Plus or USB).
2.
Access the Command Register system bit %SW60.4 and set this bit to 1.
3.
Disconnect the PC from the Primary CPU.
4.
Depending on the communication media chosen for the upgrade
procedure, note the Modbus or Modbus Plus address of the Standby CPU
using the keyboard functions (in “PLC Communications /
Communications Serial Port” for Modbus or in “PLC Communications /
Communications Modbus Plus” for Modbus Plus).
5.
Stop the Standby CPU with the keyboard functions.
Note:
The standby CPU goes to STOP Offline mode; the Primary
operates without a Standby.
6.
Disconnect all the communication links (Hot Standby fiber optic cable,
Ethernet cables, Modbus Plus cables …) from the Standby rack and
remove the CRP module from the Standby rack.
7.
Switch off the power of the Standby rack.
8.
When using an application in the PCMCIA card:
8.1.
Remove the PCMCIA card from the Standby CPU.
8.2.
Remove the PCMCIA batteries to empty the card content.

9.
Power on the Standby CPU.
10.
If not set to 1, change the Modbus or Modbus Plus address of the Standby
CPU to 1 with the keyboard functions (in “PLC Communications /
Communications Serial Port” for Modbus or in “PLC Communications /
Communications Modbus Plus” for Modbus Plus).
11.
Coprocessor Upgrade Step
: please see
“Error! Reference source not
found.”.
Don’t forget to power cycle the CPU at the end of the procedure.
12.
CPU OS Upgrade Step
: please see
“3. Updating a Quantum PLC from
Unity to Unity”
12.1.
Connect the PC to the Standby CPU using Modbus or Modbus Plus.
12.2.
Open the OSLoader tool.
12.3.
Select the Modbus or Modbus Plus communication option.
12.4.
Connect to the Standby using address 1.
12.5.
Download the OS to the Standby.
13.
Disconnect the PC from the Standby CPU.
14.
Switch off the power of the Standby CPU.
15.
When using an Application in the PCMCIA :
15.1.
Insert the PCMCIA batteries.
15.2.
Insert the PCMCIA card in the Standby CPU.
16.
Power on the Standby CPU.
Note:
the CPU must be in “No Conf” state.
17.
Check the Copro and OS versions in the LCD Screen.
18.
Reconnect all the communication cables (CRP module, Ethernet
cables, …) but not the Hot Standby fiber optic cable.
19.
At last, reconnect the fiber optic cable to both CPUs.
20.
Check the application program is automatically transferred to the Standby
CPU ("Transfer ..." on screen for a short time and then "Run Standby
CPU"). If not, perform the transfer with the keyboard.
Note:
Ensure that the Modbus or Modbus Plus address is the same as the
address noted in Step 4.
21.
Put in RUN mode.
Note:
Ensure Primary CPU is in Run Primary Mode and Standby CPU is
in RUN Standby Mode.
22.
Perform a switchover by stopping the Primary CPU with the keyboard.
Note:
Ensure Standby CPU becomes Primary CPU on the LCD screen.
23.
Repeat Steps 4 through 21 on the new Standby.
24.
Connect to the new Primary CPU with the PC and Unity Pro (through
Modbus, Modbus Plus or USB).
25.
Access Command Register system bit %SW60.4; set bit to 0.
26.
Disconnect the PC and ensure Primary CPU is in RUN Primary Mode and
Standby CPU is in RUN Standby Mode.

Special Intermediate OS, for 140CPU43212U/A PV>= 16.
Du to an hardware Id incompatibility between 140CPU43412U with PV >= 16 and the
ones produced before this PV ( PV< 16) , we have generated a new Intermediate OS,
allowing the hardware Id compatibility.
Previous Quantum 140CPU43412U’s had a hardware ID of 0008 0008 but newer (
PV>=16) 140CPU43412U’s have a hardware ID of 0008 000C.
By this way the user will get the capacity to make the change either from Unity to
Concept or from Concept to Unity if this new hardware is used.
Intermediate OS are :
•
Unity_to_Concept_43412A_pvget16.bin
•
Concept_to_Unity_43412U_pvget16.bin
to be found in “Shopping kiosk” or in Schneider electric web site.
Note that the “final” Unity firmware is to be adapted to the PV too, so after the use of
special pvget 16 Intermediate OS , a dedicated firmware is to be download .
Firmware to download are:
•
140CPU43412U_V320_pvget16.bin
