Preparing for a ProcessLogix Software Upgrade

Chapter

System Software Upgrade Procedures

ATTENTION

This section assumes that you are currently running ProcessLogix software version R300.1 or 310.0 and Service Pack 5 for Windows NT 4.0. The tasks associated with upgrading from an earlier release are beyond the scope of this docu ment.

If you are migrating a system from R300.0 or earlier, you must upgrade to R300.1 or R310.0 before proceeding with the R320.0 upgrade.

Refer to the documentation supplied with R300 .1 or R310.0 ProcessLogix software for instructions on upgrading from an earlier release to R300.1 or R310.0.

• Refer to Installing ProcessLogix Client Software on page 1-73 to

upgrade the Client software on a networked ProcessLogix Client system.

• Refer to Full PC Software Installation Procedures on page 3-1 to

install ProcessLogix software on a clean PC.

Things to consider before upgrading

ATTENTION

Be certain that your process is off control before you begin any upgrade procedure. This means the 1757-PLX52 should be in the Idle state.

ATTENTION

Before upgrading to this release, be certain that the ProcessLogix user accounts exist and are set up correctly. Refer to Setting Up User Accounts on page 5-27.

1 Publication 1757-I N0 32B-EN-P - April 2001

1-2 System Software Upgrade Procedures

The following table summarizes some upgrade related functions that you should consider before upgrading the existing system to R320.0.

Consider this: Because:

New license with R320.0 ProcessLogix software

Localization • The localization of an existing system is lost during an

Save Controller Data • This updates the database with current Controller data.

Back Up R300.0 Server Data

• Your existing R300.1 or 310.0 license will not work with R320.0.

• Be certain that you have the R320.0 license numbers on hand before starting the software installation.

upgrade.

• Before starting an upgrade, be certain that you have the localization toolkit in your language for R320.0.

• Remove the current localization update using the Control Panel Add/Remove Programs function.

• Select R200 Language Update to change the language for the Control Builder application back to the default of US English.

• This is recommended if you plan to make a backup of your current database.

• Refer to Saving Current Controller Data (optional) on page 1-3.

• This provides a path for recovering your current system as a standard precaution.

• Refer to Installing Service Pack 6a for Windows NT 4.0 on page 1-11.

Have at least 400MB of Free Disk Space

• This allows sufficient disk space to automatically backup selected system data during the installation process.

• Refer to Determining Your Hard Drive Free Space Requirements on page 1-4.

Publication 1757-IN032B-EN-P - April 2001

System Software Upgrade Pr ocedures 1-3

Saving Current Controller Data (optional)

IMPORTANT

While not required, we suggest that you use this procedure to update the ERDB with the most current Controller data before the upgrade. This procedure assumes that the Control Builder (CB) application is running and communicating with 1757-P LX52 Controllers in your ProcessLogix system.

1. If Control Builder isn’t running, start it.

2. Close any open Control Module and/or Sequential Control

Module.

3. For a system with redundant ProcessLogix Servers, be certain that

the databases are synchronized. Refer to Synchronizing ERDB on Redundant Servers on page 1-63.

4. In Monitoring tab, click the plus s ign in the t ree root path t o the

CPM icon for the controller to display the CEE fo lder icon.

5. Click the CEE folder icon. Click Tools

and then click Continue to upload the existing controller database. This may take considerable time to complete, depending on the

amount of CM/SCMs (and their number of FBs and/or number of Steps/Transitions) currently assigned to this CEE.

If you have redundant Servers, you only need to perform this procedure on the SERVERB node.

This may take considerable time to complete, depending on the amount of CM/SCMs (and their number of FBs and/or number of Steps/Transitions) currently assigned to this CEE.

7. Repeat Step 4 to Step 6 for each controller (CPM icon) in your

system.

8. In preparation for the software upgrade, inactivate the CMs, SCMs,

and IOMs, and put the CEE in its Idle mode.

9. Close Control Builder.

1-4 System Software Upgrade Procedures

TIP

W e recommend that you make a backup copy of your erdb_a.mdb database after you save th e curr en t controller data. The default direct ory location for the erdb_a.mdb database is:

C:\Honeywell\TPS50\System\ER. W e recommend that you create a new folder in the C:

directory for this purpose and then rename the database after it is copied to the folder.

For example, you could name the folder erbackup and rename the file erdb_a_bu.mdb to readily identify this as the backup database copy.

Determining Your Hard Drive Free Space Requirements

A base requirement for ProcessLogix software releases is that they fit on older PCs having 4 GB hard drives. This means that the R320.0 rele ase needs to fit within a 4 GB partition, regardless of the overall size of the hard drive. For example, if your PC has an 8 GB hard drive partitioned into two 4 GB partitions, then all ProcessLogix applications and the entire operating system (the swap file, Service Pack 6a, etc.) will reside on the C: partition, while the other partition will be empty.

This means you must provide sufficient space on the C: partition before you begin an upgrade, or the upgrade will fail at several points due to insufficient disk space. The software installation routine requires additional disk space to automatically back up selected system data during the installation process.

ATTENTION

We recommend that you have free space equal to at least 1.5 times the size of your C:\Honeywel l directory and its subdirectories (minimum of 400 MB) before you begin an upg rade.

Use the following steps to compute the minimum free space requirements for your PC.

1. Open Windows NT Explorer.

2. Right-click the C:\Honeywell folder in the left pane and click

Properties. W ait until the Size number stops updating.

Publication 1757-IN032B-EN-P - April 2001

System Software Upgrade Pr ocedures 1-5

3. Take this number and multiply it by 1.5 to find your free space

requirements. If the result is le ss than 400 MB, make the result 400 MB. Click Cance l to clos e th e H one y we l l Properties dialog box .

EXAMPLE

In the following example, the C:\Honeywell tree size is 458 MB. Multiplying 458 MB by 1.5 results in 687 MB. This means you would need at least 687 MB of free disk space before beginning your upgrade.

4. In Windows NT Explorer, right-click the (C:) drive icon in the left

pane and click properties. Check the free space size listed for the C drive in the open dialog box. Click Cancel to close the dialog box. If there is not enough free disk space, refer to the following paragraph for suggestions on how to increase it.

Publication 1757-IN032B-EN-P - April 2001

1-6 System Software Upgrade Procedures

What should you do if you do not meet the recommended memory requirements:

If you do not me et the minimum free disk space requirement, you can try one or more of the follow ing actions to increase your free disk space:

• Compact the ERD B ( Use the Db Adm i n uti lit y :

⇒Programs⇒ProcessLogix Engineering Tools⇒

Start DBADMIN

• Remove old error logs in directory C:\ErrorHandling,

• Remove old backups you have of the ERDB.

• Remove the Service Pack Uninstall directory C:\WINNT\

$NtServicePackUninstall$.

• Move any of your application files not residing in the

C:\Honeywell tree to the oth er partition, if you have another partition.

⇒Tools⇒Compact Database.)

Backing Up a P r ocessLogix Server to Tape

Use the following procedure to back up your current ProcessLogix Server data to tape.

1. If the Server to be backed up is a member of a redundant Server

pair, synchronize the ER and Server databases.

a. Refer to Synchronizing ERDB on Redundant Servers on

page 1-63.

b. Refer to Synchronizing Server Databases on Redundant

Servers on page 1-71.

ATTENTION

2. Insert a tape into the PC’s tape drive.

Before continuing, you MUST exit all ProcessLogix applications and stop all ProcessLogix services.

Refer to Stopping ProcessLogix Applications and Services on page 1-8.

Publication 1757-IN032B-EN-P - April 2001

Wait for the tape to mount (stop making noise).
