RS3: Software Loading and Upgrade Procedure Requirements and Preparation
Section 1:
Requirements and Preparation
For Version 18 software and hardware requirements, see the
appropriate RS3 Version 18.xx Software Release Notes.
For detailed instructions on how to perform disk and tape activities
required to load new software, see the RS3ÔDisk and Tape Functions
Manual.
DAll alarm and event lists will be erased when the console is
rebooted. To retain the contents of these lists, print them out
using the following commands. You select these commands in
the command line at the top of the screen using [LAST OPTION].
NOTE: You must have 132-column wide paper in the printers
that print the alarm and event lists.

— Pr Hardware Alarm List (Prints both active and cleared)
— Pr Disk Event List
— Pr System Status Active (Prints both active and cleared)
— Pr Event List:#
— Pr Batch Alarm List (Prints both active and cleared)
DIf one or more consoles are being updated from process
character graphics to vector graphics, please read Section 5 of
this document, “Upgrading from Character Graphics to Vector
Graphics,” before loading console software.
DIf you are updating a batch process from Version 14 or 15 to
Version 18, see Section 6, “Upgrading ABC Batch Files to
Version 18 Software.”
DPrint out the Alarm List Configuration and Event List
Configuration, so that you can enter them manually later in the
procedure.
DIf you have RTD FICs and are upgrading, you must download the
new RTD FIC image after upgrading your consoles and
ControlFiles.
DRBLCI is not supported past Version 15. RBLCII is supported
with the CP4.
NOTE: You must first wipe bubble memory before you can use
the RBLC controller as any other type of controller.
-To wipe bubble memory, type:
WB controller [ENTER]
DIn Version 18, the CP2 does not support Batch. Batch is

RS3: Software Loading and Upgrade Procedure Loading Consoles
Section 2:
Loading Consoles
The procedure in this section describes how to upgrade a Multitube
Command Console from Version 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, or 17 to Version 18
software. Repeat the procedure for all Multitube Command Consoles.
Summary
The entire procedure to upgrade a Multitube Command Console
consists of a series of smaller procedures, labelled A through W. By
performing A through W, you accomplish these tasks:
1. Back up console files. (Be aware that this may take several
hours, depending on the number and size of your files.)
2. Reconfigure the disk (if needed).
3. Load the new program(s).
4. Restore backed up files.
5. Convert graphics and reports.
6. Boot the console with the new software.
It is a good idea to read through A through W before you upgrade the
console to familiarize yourself with the procedures.

Procedure
CAUTION:
If you have a password system, log in now as system
manager, AND DO NOT LOG OUT until you have finished
loading the console.
A. Preparing consoles for the software update:
1. Disable trending ( DT node number [ENTER] ).
2. Disable reports ( DR [ENTER] ). Print out all report
configurations.
3. Disable alarm logging ( DLA node number [ENTER] ).
4. Disable Batch system ( DBAS node number [ENTER] ).
5. Call up the Alarm List Configuration screen ( ALC [ENTER] ).
Make sure that the Disk Event “Size” field is 50 or greater.
6. Call up the Command Console Configuration screen ( CCC
[ENTER] ). Make screen prints of pages 1 and 2.
7. If you are upgrading from the Version 15.03 release,save
the “Loop Callup Keys” to its own console configuration file
using the Save Console Configuration procedure from the Disk
and Tape Functions Manual. Then perform steps 8 and 9.
or
If you are upgrading from Version 11, 12, 14, 15.06 or later
(including 16, 17, and 18),skiptostep9.
8. Save only the “Trend Group Configuration“ to its own console
configuration file.
9. Save “all” to its own console configuration file. Call up the
Console Configuration Directory screen to make sure that the
file you just saved is listed.

B. Backing up files onto tape:
Back up all files that are stored in the console onto a tape.
1. Insert a tape into the tape drive and slide the tape drive
button to lock the tape in place.
2. Call up the Disk Directory Peerway screen ( DDP [ENTER] ).
3. Cursor to the name or location of the tape to be loaded, and
press [ENTER].
4. The Disk Activity screen shows the Tape Load operation in
the “Operation” field. Cursor to the “Press <ENTER> to
begin” field and press [ENTER]. The load operation takes a
few minutes.
5. When the Tape Load operation is complete, call up the Disk
Directory Peerway screen ( DDP [ENTER] ).
6. Cursor to the disk drive to be backed up and press [ENTER].
The Disk Activity screen appears.
7. Cursor to the “Operation” field and press [NEXT OPTION] to
access the Create Boot Tape operation. Press [ENTER].
8. Cursor to the “New Volume Name” field. Type the name of
the tape and press [ENTER].
9. Cursor to the “Descriptor” field. Type a descriptor for the
tape, and press [ENTER].
10.Cursor to the “Press <ENTER> to begin” field and press
[ENTER]. The operation may take some time, maybe even
hours, depending on how many files are on the disk.
11. Call up the Disk Event List ( DEL [ENTER] ) and verify that
the operation was successful. The entry reads, “Disk File
Backup Completed, X Sector(s)”.

C. Verifying tape operation:
In this section you will perform a Tape Unload operation and then a
Tape Load operation. Fisher-Rosemount recommends that, before you
continue with the software load procedure, you perform this operation
after the boot tape is created in order to verify that the tape loads
properly and that the files on the tape are okay.
1. Call up the Disk Directory Peerway screen ( DDP [ENTER] ).
2. Cursor to the tape drive and press [ENTER]. The Disk
Activity screen appears.
3. Cursor to the “Operation” field and press [NEXT OPTION] to
access the Tape Unload operation. Press [ENTER].
4. Cursor to the “Press <ENTER> to begin” field and press
[ENTER]. The operation will take a few minutes.
5. When the tape is unloaded, call up the Disk Directory
Peerway screen ( DDP [ENTER] ).
6. Cursor to the tape drive and press [ENTER]. The Disk
Activity screen appears.
7. Cursor to the “Operation” field and press [NEXT OPTION] to
access the Tape Load operation. Press [ENTER].
8. Cursor to the “Press <ENTER> to begin” field and press
[ENTER]. The operation will take a few minutes.
9. Call up the Disk Event List ( DEL [ENTER] ) and check to
make sure that the tape loaded properly.
10.Call up the Disk Directory Peerway screen ( DDP [ENTER] ).
11. Cursor to the tape drive and press [SELECT]. Verify that all
of the files have been backed up onto the tape.
12.Unload the tape by repeating steps 1 through 4 of this
procedure.

E. Reconfiguring the disk:
NOTE: This procedure is optional, but if a System Resource Unit (SRU)
or ABC Batch is being added to the system or if the Console Program
Folder is not large enough, the disk must be reconfigured. You must
also reconfigure if new folder types have been added and you will be
using them.
CAUTION: This procedure will destroy any data currently on the
disk. Before you perform this procedure, make sure you have
made a backup tape.
1. Disable trending ( DT node number [ENTER]),disable
reports ( DR [ENTER] ), disable logging alarms ( DLA node
number [ENTER] ), and Disable Batch system ( DBAS node
number [ENTER] ).
2. Call up the Disk Folder Configuration screen ( DC : node
number [ENTER] ).
For examples of a Disk Folder Configuration screen, see
Figure 2.1. It shows the recommended disk configurations for
105- and 270-megabyte disks. For a description of the fields
on a Disk Folder Configuration screen, see Table 2.1.
3. If an SRU is being added, cursor to the SRU Data and SRU
Config “Max Num of Files” and “Size in K Bytes” fields and
change the folder sizes as needed. See Figure 2.1 for a
typical Disk Folder Configuration screen. Press [ENTER]
after each change.
4. If Batch is used, cursor to the “ABC Data”, “ABC Log”, and
“ASCII Files” fields and change the size of the folders as
needed. Ensure that the free space in the ABC Data file is at
least twice the size of the largest recipe. Ensure that the size
of the Console Program and Plant Program folders is at least
4096 KB. See Figure 2.1 for a typical Disk Folder
Configuration screen. Press [ENTER] after each change.
5. If the Console Program folder or any other folders are not
large enough, change the size of the folders as needed.
See Figure 2.1 for a typical Disk Folder Configuration screen.
Press [ENTER] after each change.
The folders flashing red will be initialized when the disk is
configured, and all data in them will be deleted. The “Size in
K Bytes” fields of other folders may have to be reduced in
order to increase the size of the SRU folders, ABC Batch
folders, or the Console Program folder.
