Information about update
1.1 Introduction
The Central Computer 2 (subsequently called ZR2) version 3.0 will replace the today’s
version of ZR2-B/BD in week 17 and is 100% compatible concerning previous hardware
versions. Using a new processor, it was necessary to change the belonging drivers
within the compiled application program.
Way of converting:
convert ZR2-B up to
existing version 2.0
projects (ZR2–BD up to
install version 1.1)
KIBES
software
update
create ZR2-B or
new ZR2–BD up to
projects version 3.0
Way: Note the path of your existing KIBES-Software. Start the file Install.bat from
CD-ROM with parameter ENG at the path CD_03\Pp_03_XX by double
click of left mouse button.
(Figure: 1)
(Figure: 2)
Select the proper directory using the pathname of the previous installation
of your KIBES-Software.
(Figure: 3)
Variant b) You install the KIBES-SW-Update into a new directory using a new
pathname. Afterwards you copy the projects and self made macros as
described in chapter 1.7.
Advantage: You use the update to do safety copies from your existing projects.
Way: Select the CD drive. Install at first the “basic package” in a new directory.
Therefore start the file “Install.bat” at the path CD_03_XX\Gr with double
click of the left mouse button.
(Figure: 4)
(Figure: 5)
After the “basic package” is installed, you have to install the postprocessor
using the same installation procedure as described at variant a).
The pathname of the new installation directory shall be used.
(Figure 6:)
The command Upgrade PLC PRG will not operate, if you already did modifications at the
project after installation of the Software Update. In that case you have to proceed like
following:
With path MAIN MENU ⇒ POSTPROCESSORS ⇒ CONFIG. EDIT you select the
configuration menu. If there is a project default, you get the list of all projects pressing
“space” and “enter”.
(Figure: 7)
Selecting one project, you will enter the menu SELCT DEVICES (figure 8).
(Figure: 8)
Press “F4” and accept by click with the left mouse button to save the configuration again.
Finally you compile the project selecting CODEGEN-COMPILE (figure 9)
(Figure: 9)
The project is now usable for all ZR2-B or ZR2-BD versions. There is no more additional
UPGRADE PLC PRG necessary.
You will get this error massage on download of the PLC program to ZR2 version 3.0:
(Figure: 10)
Reason: You tried to download an existing project, which was not converted for a
ZR2 version 3.0.
(Figure: 11)
(Figure: 12)
Solution: No action required. You can download the project on all ZR2-B/BD
versions
You will get this error massages after downloading the PLC program to an ZR2
version 3.0:

1.7 Copy from existing projects into folder of new installed KIBES-SW Update
If you installed the KIBES-SW-Update at a new name (like described at chapter 1.2 b),
you can to copy existing projects and self made macros like following:
Open “Windows Explorer” and select the KIBES-folder with the existing projects (e.g.
“Ki_03_99“). Copy all files from the PST subdirectory using the known project name (e.g.
“Redes103”) into the subdirectory PST of the new installed KIBES-application (e.g. to
“Ki-Redes”).
Finally you have to copy the project data with the extension .gps (e.g. "Redes103.gps“)
from the GPS subdirectory of the existing KIBES application into the GPS subdirectory
of the new KIBES-SW-Update.
Any self made macros shall be copied from the folder LCM\GER and LCM\ENG of the
existing KIBES-Software into the appropriate folder of the KIBES-SW-Update.
