PoolControl CPU & module update
Note that this is a delicate procedure and has to be done with your undevided attention.
This software download and installation on PC is needed only ones.
under this follows the procedure to update CPU and motor modules.
If you need to update a PC3 display follow this link.

Updating the Firmware on the CPU
IMPORTANT!
ALWAYS CUT THE POWER TO THE CPU AND MODULES BEFORE CONNECTING THE PROGRAMMER-CABLE
The programmer cable must only be connected when the CPU and modules are NOT powered. (Switch off the PC2 completely!)
CPU and modules will get power from the programmer cable.
If the CPU or modules are powered and connected with the programmer-cable it will damage your computer, CPU and/or modules and programmer-cable.
Connecting the programmer cable while CPU and/or modules are powered is not covered by our warranty.
Connect the programmer to the computer and CPU or modules
Cut power to the CPU (switch of the PC2)
Connect the Programmer cable to your computer with the USB cable.
Connect the programmer to the CPU. (see images below)
The "flat cable" should always be on the outside of the PCB
As soon as you connect the programmer the CPU or module should start-up, it gets power from the Programmer.
Connect programmer to CPU
Connect programmer to Relay module
Connect programmer to Motor module
Always check the hardware revision number.
There is different firmware for the CPU (main unit) with revision number 8 and lower and one for revision number 9 and higher.
For the Cover and relay module there is only one version of the firmware.
"FwMainUnit_v2_Rev 8 and below.abs" is the FW for the CPU with revision number 8 and below.
"FwMainUnit_v18.abs" is the FW for the CPU with revision number 9 and above.
Open the "HCS08 Programmer" software on you PC
You'll find it in the "USBDM 4.12.1.262" folder
Once the HCS08 program opens it looks like this (Right image -->)
Click the tab "Target" in the flash programmer
Click the "Load Hex File" button to select the correct FW-File...
First check the Hardware "Build revision number" on the CPU or Module.
You can find the build version of the CPU, Cover or relay module on the module itself.
It is printed on the PCB. (See images above)
Download the Firmware files here...
CPU (Main Unit) Rev 8 and below: Download
CPU (Main Unit) Rev 9 and above: Download
Cover module: Download
Relay module: Download
To check the connection and let the software automatically select the device click the "Detect Chip" button.
Then click the "Load and Go" button to upload the firmware to the module.
When it is done click "No" in the popup window.Disconnect the programmer cable from the CPU or modules.
Switch the PC2 back on.
