LTMCU, LTMCUF, and LTMCUC
Introduction and Setup
This chapter describes how to upgrade/downgrade the LTMCU firmware, not the language files. It explains how to prepare the LTMCU and the PC, how to connect them and how to start the programmer.
A physical link must be established between your PC and the LTMCU and from your LTMCU to the TeSys T, as shown in the following figure.
-
First, power on your TeSys T from a separate, externally supplied control power source that is switched from outside the enclosure.
-
Secondly, connect the TCSMCNAM3M002P cable from a USB port of the PC to the RJ45 connector port on the front face of the LTMCU.
-
Thirdly, connect the free end of the Cat5 cable to the “LTMCU/HMI” port on the left side of the TeSys T, then, while pressing both the “STOP” and “RESET” buttons (circled in red below) on the LTMCU, insert one end of the Cat5 cable into the rear RJ45 port of the LTMCU. Route the cables to the outside of the enclosure so the update can be performed without exposure to energized equipment (doors closed and interlocked).

Use a separate, externally supplied control power connection that is switched from outside of the enclosure. The control voltage supply must match the LTMR input voltage. With the power OFF, connect power to the “A1, A2” terminals of the LTMR (input polarity is indicated for DC models). Route the cable to the outside of the enclosure so the update can be performed without exposure to energized equipment (doors closed and interlocked).
Prepare your PC: Connection through USB to Serial
-
Download and install both “SoMove v2.6” or greater and “TeSys DTM Library v2.10.0” or greater.
-
Unzip and run the SoMove executable file.
NOTE: This will also install the Modbus Driver Suite for cable TCSMCNAM3M002P. -
Unzip and run the TeSys DTM Library executable file
NOTE: The file may run with no pop-up windows. -
Identify the USB COM port used by the TCSMCNAM3M002P cable. To do so, connect the cable at both ends, click the Start menu on your PC and search for “Device Manager.” Open the Device Manager, then, click on Ports (Com & LPT) and read the number of the port associated with "TSX C USB 485." In the example below, it is COM12.
Using TeSys Programmer — LTMCU, LTMCUF, and LTMCUC
The programmer can be used for both firmware upgrades and firmware downgrades. The example below is an example of upgrading the firmware to FW v3.0.
-
Run the tool “TeSysProgTool.exe” from the following locations:
- Navigate to “C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Schneider Electric Shared\TeSysDTMLibrary\TeSysT\TeSysProgrammer” and run “TeSysProgTool.exe”.
-
In SoMove:
-
From the home screen, click on “LTMCU Upgrade” in the upper-left corner of the screen.
-
In the “Firmware Package Selection” field, click on the “Browse” button, and navigate to the unzipped LTMCU firmware file to be uploaded to the device. The firmware version will populate in the “LTMCU Firmware Version:” field.
-
From the drop-down menu located underneath the TeSys T graphic, select the COM port for the associated TSX C USB 485 cable. In this example, it is COM 12. Click on the “Connect” button to connect to the TeSys T. A prompt will appear. Refer to Connecting PC to LTMR for more detailed instructions on how to complete the connection. If the prompt is followed and closed, the “Connected Device Info” field will populate.
-
You are now ready to update the LTMCU. To begin the firmware update, click the “Update” button.
NOTE: Firmware upgrade can take up to ten minutes.NOTICE RISK OF FIRMWARE CORRUPTION
Once the firmware upgrade has begun, adhere to the following until the programming process is complete:- Do not close the TeSys Programmer until the process is complete.
- Do not interrupt power to the device.
- Do not disconnect the communication cable if programming is in progress.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage. -
When the “Total Progress” bar reaches 100%, a pop-up window will appear stating “LTMCU firmware upgrade successful.” Click the “OK” button.
-
The updated firmware version will now appear in the “Connected Device Info” field.
-
The firmware update is finished, you can now exit the TeSys Programmer tool or continue with another task.
LTMCU Language Update
This chapter describes how to update the language in a TeSys T LTMCU display.

The first section of the LTMCU Language tab is the Language Package Selection, which allows you to choose the appropriate language package version for the LTMCU hardware in the TeSys Programmer Tool.

-
Select the LTMCU Language Version to be uploaded into the LTMCU from the drop-down menu, based on the specific hardware model of LTMCU to be programmed.
-
By default, English is the first language programmed into the LTMCU. To select a second language, use the Language #2 drop-down menu. Repeat this process to select a third language, using the drop-down menu for Language #3.
- The second section of the LTMCU Language tab allows you to connect a PC to the LTMCU. This tab shows:
- A diagram of the steps required to establish the connection between the LTMCU and a PC
- How to connect the hardware to a PC
- The language information previously loaded into the LTMCU
-
To establish the connection between a PC and the LTMCU successfully, go to connectivity settings and select HW1 if your LTMCU was manufactured before or on July 2015 or select HW2 if the manufacturing date is after July 2015 or if you have an LTMCUF or LTMCUC.
-
Select the appropriate serial port option from the drop-down menu, depending on how the connection is being established with the LTMCU, and click on the Connect button. This will display up to three languages loaded previously into the LTMCU.
-
To remove the language #2 and/or #3 that were previously loaded from the LTMCU, uncheck the box next to the languages. A check mark indicates the language is enabled and an empty checkbox indicates the language is disabled.
The third section in the LTMCU Language tab shows the status of the upload for each language into the LTMCU.
-
To initiate the language package transfer process or to disable an existing language in the LTMCU, click on the Update button at the bottom right of the Update LTMCU section. The update normally takes several minutes.
-
After the update is completed, disconnect the LTMCU from your PC and connect it back to your TeSys T system and use as intended after updating.
