Update Device Firmware Using the VP Series 2000 Configuration Software
Either the USB NFC reader or over the air method can be used to update the device firmware using the
VP Series 2000 configuration software. The over the air method is used for updating WirelessHART
devices connected to an Emerson gateway.
Remove the VP Series 2000 devices to be updated from the field to update firmware using the VP Series
2000 configuration software and a USB NFC reader.
To individually update the e-module firmware using a USB NFC reader:
1. Open the VP Series 2000 configuration software
2. Connect the USB NFC reader to the computer running the VP Series 2000 configuration software.
3. Place the VP Series 2000 device upside down on the USB NFC reader pad.
4. Select the “NFC Manager” tab.
5. Select the “Firmware Manager” tab.
6. Select a valid firmware file for the upgrade - the “Compatibility” column will indicate whether it can
be used with the selected device.
7. If the firmware is compatible and the device is ready, you will be able to click on “Upgrade” to
update the firmware.
8. The update progress will be displayed in the “Software > Firmware Version” section of the “NFC
Manager” tab.
