Field upgrade of the HBA firmware is not possible. Before upgrading: o Determine the specific transmitter requirements o Perform a full Alarm and Historical collection (archive files and audit logs) o Consider version and possible corruption of transmitter data. Due to compatibility issues, non-volatile transmitter data can be corrupted if left connected during firmware upgrades. Disconnect the field link device from the IEC module during firmware upgrades to avoid possible corruption. Case 1: 5.79.00 and older with IEC V1.11 (and older): no issue Case 2: 5.79.00 and IEC V1.20: chance for corruption Case 3: 5.80.00 and IEC V1.11: chance for corruption Case 4: 5.80.00 and IEC V1.20 (and later): no issue Known Limitations and/or Issues IEC V1.20 is not backwards-compatible with CW version 5.79 and earlier.
