I am trying to update my firmware via the LAN and get a communication error 3/4 of the way. Any tips of how to overcome this. Last time when I tried via USB I got the same problem.

I have the similar problem using usb , it is best to to use the LAN for now as mentioned in earlier posts,

TO upgrade your firmware use the flasher programme and follow the instruction from the post. (YOU MUST USE THE RS232 cable to do this)

use this link http://forum.aquariumcomputer.com/sh...-update-failed

Thanks got it solved, managed to crash it first then tried to reflash but cot errors, figured out it must be the USB to RS232 convertor as mentioned on the forum. When I connected direct via com1 (direct com port) it worked like a dream.

Controller is up and running again. Thank goodness!

No swithces work through either the web, iphone or ipad apps.

In german part of the forum we discussed about strange webserver problems also (not working files, missing functionallity). For us the following has solved the problem:

Clear the web server user files (PLC -> System -> Webserver... -> delete own files now...") after a firmware update and upload your user files again... (if you have any)

Please try that and report here if it solves your prob

I'll give it a try tonight.

Okay. Upgraded the firmware to 5.11 and clear the files on the webserver and it's now back to normal.
Thanks!

I'm just a little confused.

I "thought" all Firmware updates needed to be over the RS232 or RS232/USB connection and NOT over LAN. I'm sure I've missed about 999 threads which may have mentioned this but all the ones I've stumbled across thus far state "Update for ProfiLux3 not over LAN!"

I'm just wondering if this has changed and that sticky is no longer "relevant".
