The firmware update tool is used for patching the IED firmware and for adding or replacing additional languages to the IED. Update packages are provided by Customer Support. The update tool can be used either locally or remotely.
It is recommended to take a backup of the IED configuration before starting the update. This can be done by using the Read from IED function from the IED context menu in PCM600. The user needs to be authorized before using the tool. User credentials are asked if the default administrator password has been changed. User with System Update right (refer to table Default roles-to-rights in the Cyber Security Deployment Guideline) credentials are needed for authorization.
