CAPM4/5 Software Installation

1.1. Purpose
The following procedure explains how to install the latest revision software over an existing version of CAPM4/5 software, whilst retaining all previous control and protection settings. ! It may also be used to reconfigure the switchgear after a CAPM card has been replaced.

1.2.

Safety
1.2.1. Compatibility of Software and WSOS
Each software version release is supported by a Windows Switchgear Operating System update. Any attempt to load a recent software release using a superseded version of WSOS may result in incorrect file transfer or an inability to communicate with the switchgear. Always ensure that you have the latest release WSOS and that it is compatible with the release version of software being installed. Download from www.nulec.com.au

1.2.2. Isolation of TRIP and CLOSE solenoids

The solenoids must be isolated, when prompted, before the software file transfer is commenced. Ensure that the solenoids are not enabled until after the Event Log has been checked for pickup events. Enabling the solenoids before confirming that a pickup event has not been generated may result in incorrect or hazardous switchgear function.

1.3.

Equipment Required
! ! ! ! Nu-Lec Industries Pty Ltd Serial Cable, Part No: N05-902 Laptop Personal Computer (32 bit system) with Version 3.16 or later Windows Switchgear Operating System (WSOS) installed. The replacement software file. The cap5load.exe file.

1.5.8. Alternative File Transfer Rate

If the software transfer has still not been completed successfully at this point, it may be re-attempted using a slower transfer rate than the default rate. Another command may be entered into the Software Command Configuration to slow down the transfer rate as follows: ! ! Refer to Step 1.5.6. Enter the following command when prompted, ensure character spaces are included where shown; cap5load -1 -force -low CCCCCHVV.RRX (software file name) The new command "-low" enforces the slower transfer rate (allow up to 25 minutes to complete).

1.5.9. Creation of a Debug File

In the event that the software transfer is still not successful at this point, it may be advantageous to create a "debug file" for analysis by our Service Department. To create the file, a new command is entered into the Software Command Configuration as follows: ! ! Refer to Step 1.5.6. Enter the following command when prompted, ensure character spaces are included where shown; cap5load -1 -force -debug CCCCCHVV.RRX (software file name) The additional command "-debug" causes a communications log of transactions between the CAPM and the PC to be saved to disk The log file is automatically saved to the source folder that the software was loaded from as "debug.tmp". Once saved, the file may be forwarded by e-mail or other means: ! ! Be aware that the actual file size may increase up to 13MB. If forwarded by e-mail, it is recommended that the file be compressed using WinZip which will reduce the file size to a maximum size of 1.3MB.
