• A notebook / PC with Ethernet interface. After PRP is installed on the EN100 module a PC with a PRP – network card is required or the PC must be connected to the PRP – network by use of an external Redbox which converts non-PRP-telegrams of the PC to PRP-telegrams used in the PRP-network from SIPROTEC 4 devices and other PRP –...

(check with chapter 5.1). If the EN100 module is updated with a new FPGA image (required for PRP) you have to switch OFF the power supply for at least 20 seconds. The firmware will be activated if you switch the device OFF and ON, which is anyhow required for activation of the FPGA –...
4.2.2 Firmware update 4.2.2.1 Upload and flashing of the module firmware 1. Connect all devices with the EN100 module via Ethernet (Fig. 4-1) 2. Store the file IEC61850_81_xx.yy.pck e.g. IEC61850_81_04.10.00.pck (includes the new EN100 firmware) in a local folder on your PC/notebook.
(http://siemens.siprotec.de/download_neu/index_d.htm) or received from Customer Care. A wrong file uploaded to the module will be rejected by EN100 firmware, and the connection may be reset. Please see system log for more information if the upload fails for any reason.
7. Press the button „Send File“ to upload the firmware file to the EN100 module. After successful upload of the firmware the update process shows automatically the page “firmware update status” and the flashing of the uploaded code into the FLASH is started automatically.
9. You need to press the “Refresh upload statistics” Button to know if the flashing is finished. After successful flashing the activation link “Now restart EN100 and wait 60 seconds...” is visible in the bottom of the page. For further actions please read chapter 4.3.

4.2.2.2 Firmware activation In general the module firmware can be activated by reset and restart of the EN100 – module. Note: Depending on the device firmware there are two different ways for activation required (please refer the table in chapter 5.1).
b. Front display Change by clicking on the keys “Menu”, then ”5” and “1” on the device it will shown this menu Figure 4-8 - Activation over Device menu c. Via the use of DIGSI 4 for the hardware reset. This requires an Ethernet connection of DIGSI 4 with the device.
There should be shown the FW version you have uploaded e.g. Version: 04.10.00.00_V4. Figure 4-10 - Version check on EN100 module homepage (Note: Shown for version 4.08 here) Or have a look on the section “Description” within the Netview homepage for the updated devices: Figure 4-11 - Version check in Netview SCF 11/2008 V08.10...
The device must be switched off for minimal 20 seconds. The FPGA images are unique for each EN100 hardware. For each HW there is a own version range. The current EN100-E (Electrical module) don’t have a FPGA. There is following compatibility given:...
After successful update, you will get this status site. Please refresh the status site with the “Refresh upload statistic” to get a current status site. If the reboot link “Now restart EN100 and wait 60 seconds” appears you may verify whether an upload was successful with the system log site (http://<ip-address>/printf).
The device restart and activate the new FPGA – image which activates PRP. NOTE: You may always repeat an upload of a file (EN100 or FPGA) before reboot on the device or EN100 firmware or power supply abruption.

If the FPGA – image is flashed and activated in all SIPROTEC 4 devices the devices can be used in the PRP – network. Switches in the network branch B can be switched ON. Both ports of the module now send equal PRP- telegrams and receive PRP telegrams from the network.
5.1 Software reset capable devices The software reset feature of the EN100 module is only available for a set of devices greater a specific device firmware version. E.g. the software reset is possible at device 7SJ80 together with the application software version equal or greater V04.60.16.
The power supply of the device shall not be switched off during upload. If the power supply fails you get an inconsistent state of EN100 module firmware. The EN100 may not be boot again. At this point it is possible to upload the EN100 Firmware over front interface with the device specific FW setup only.
If you try to upload a too big file (e.g. a newer version with a lot of enhancements for an updated hardware), the connection will be closed by the EN100 firmware. A PCK file may not be greater than allowed by the firmware. Maximal file size to be uploaded is visible in system log entries after beginning uploading Figure 5-4 –...
Figure 5-5 – Error log after failed download of a too large file • When the upload speed is too low the time between two firmware data telegrams could be larger then 5 s. In this case the upload will be canceled and an indication in the system log is announced. Figure 5-6 –...
5.2.2 FPGA upload • If you try to load FPGA on electrical EN100 module, you get a note at the site firmware update status, because it is not possible to upload an FPGA on an electrical EN100 module. Figure 5-7 – FW update progress page after failed download – wrong FPGA image For more Information you may consult the system log site, where in this case some information available if the update fails.
Figure 5-8 – System log after failed download – wrong FPGA image • If you try to load a wrong binary file, you will get the following site, means the upload is prevented: Figure 5-9 – Module home page after failed download of a wrong binary file SCF 11/2008 V08.10 Page 26 of 29...
In the system log file there is some information about upload process. Binary file with a wrong format e.g. .rbf files will not be flashed. Figure 5-10 – System log after failed download – wrong binary format SCF 11/2008 V08.10 Page 27 of 29...
