LJ-X8000E/LJ-X8002(2D mode) Firmware Update Method

●Update Method

Download the update file from the KEYENCE homepage.

[Notice] The update file for 3D mode is not available for 2D mode.

An SD card is needed to perform the update (CA-SD16G/CA-SD4G/CA-SD1G/OP-87133).
Please make sure to use an official KEYENCE SD card.
If you do not possess an official KEYENCE SD card, you can also take out and use the SD card from the SD1 slot of the controller. If you use an SD card that is not official, the update may fail or it may become impossible to start up the controller.

Copy the file with the extension .upd to the root folder (highest layer) of the SD card.

[Notice] Don’t place any other .upd file in the root folder.

[Reference] If there are other files in addition to the .upd file in the root folder, the update is available.

  1. Confirm that the application mode is set to 2D mode, then turn off the controller. Insert the SD card from step 2 into the SD2 slot. Turn on the controller.

  2. Check that the following screen is displayed after the regular start-up screen is displayed.
    The numerical values applicable at the time of the update will be shown in the parts of the screen represented with **** and ++++.

    Check that the target update shows the name of the file prepared in step 1 and then press the [Execute] button. The [Cancel] button can be used to cancel the procedure.
    Please do not turn off the power or remove the SD card while the update process is ongoing.
    When [Execute] is pressed, the controller will perform the firmware update.

Once the update process is complete, the following message is displayed.

When you remove the SD card from the SD2 slot and press [Reboot], the controller will restart and it can be used in the new version.

[Supplement] To user of LJ-X8002

LJ-X8002 is the controller in which 3D mode or 2D mode is selectable. This document explains the update procedure of 2D mode. If 3D mode needs to be updated, download the update file for 3D mode and follow the provided instructions to perform the update.
Review the details about that update with the download directions "LJ-X8002(3D mode) Firmware update method".
If only 2D mode is used, the 3D mode update is not necessary.
