Using the ProView 4.0.1 Upgrade Wizard
Cooper
Ò
During the installation process several icons were created and placed onto your desktop.
Locate the icon labeled “ProView 4.0.1 F6-F6TS Upgrade Wizard”. Use your mouse to
position the cursor over the icon and double-click with the left mouse button.
NOTE: The ProView 4.0.1 Upgrade Wizard is intended for use with Standard
ProView 4.0 Form 6, Form 6 T/S, Form 6-LS and Form 6 T/S-LS control schemes. It
is NOT intended for use with any other control or relay schemes.
NOTE: The upgrade wizard converts ProView 4.0 Form 6 schemes to ProView 4.0.1.
The wizard will not convert Form 6 schemes created in earlier versions of ProView.
NOTE: Workbench modifications that include global variables in the logic may not
convert correctly. If the conversion fails, contact the Switchgear Support Group.
The Upgrade Wizard consists of three options:
1. The first option will convert a ProView 4.0 scheme file that is located in
the following directory on your personal computer (PC): C:\Program
Files\Cooper\Proview40\Form6 and then saves the converted
scheme file to C:\Program Files\Cooper\Proview401\Form6.
2. The second option upgrades the ProView 4.0 firmware on a Form 6
control to ProView 4.0.1 and then loads a ProView 4.0.1 scheme into
the Form 6 control. Note that the scheme file must be located in the
following directory on your PC:
C:\Program Files\Cooper\Proview401\Form6
3. The third option connects to the Form 6 control and extracts a ProView
4.0 scheme file. It then upgrades the firmware in the control to ProView
4.0.1, converts the uploaded scheme to ProView 4.0.1 and then
downloads the converted scheme into the Form 6 control.
IMPORTANT: Do not remove power from the Form 6 control at any time during
the Upgrade Wizard Process.
