Digital addressable lighting interface - Part 105: Particular requirements for control gear and control devices - Firmware transfer

IEC 62386-105:2024 applies to control gear and control devices for control by digital signals of electronic lighting equipment. Typically, a bus unit according to the IEC 62386 series contains firmware. There are circumstances where it can be necessary to change the firmware after production or shipping of the product, for example if the bus unit does not operate as intended. In such a case, a firmware update of a bus unit via the interface is beneficial. This firmware update process is primarily designed to be a bug fix process, not a feature extension process. Nevertheless, the firmware update process can be used for feature extensions. But it is important that the risk of negative effects to the complete system be considered in detail. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2020. This edition constitutes a technical revision.This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition:a) several commands have been modified, renamed and added;b) variables have been modified and added;c) recommendations for implementation within emergency control gear have been added;d) requirements for block acceptance have been changed;e) example process-flow diagrams have been added;f) requirements for restarting and power-on have been changed.

Digital addressable lighting interface - Part 105: Particular requirements for control gear and control devices - Firmware Transfer

IEC 62386-105:2020 applies to control gear and control devices. Typically, a bus unit according to IEC 62386 (all parts) contains firmware. There are circumstances where it might be necessary to change the firmware after production or shipping of the product. For example if the bus unit does not operate as intended. In such a case, a firmware update of a bus unit via the interface is beneficial. This firmware update process is primarily designed to be a bug fix process, not a feature extension process. Nevertheless the firmware update process can be used for feature extensions. But it is important that the risk of negative effects to the complete system is considered in detail.

ZOOM ON ... the Requirements department
To comply with a standard, you need to quickly understand its issues in order to determine its impact on your activity.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.

The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
