1 Introduction
This Bulletin is providing a step by step guidance to carry out the WECS-9520 software
update as explained in the Technical Bulletin RT-191.

In particular, the procedures for installing and running the WECS-9520 software update
tool are described and information on troubleshooting actions is provided.

The described work procedure is valid for all engines running with WECS-9520 engine
control system based on FCM-20 modules of hardware revisions 06 and 07.

WARNING:
Please ensure following conditions before the use of the software tool:
• The WECS-9520 software update tool shall only be used in port or other safe location.
• The WECS-9520 software update tool must only be run when the engine is in stand
still condition.
• The flexView PC has to be connected to the Online spare FCM-20#00:
E90 shipyard interface box, terminals 79 and 80, see also document C in Table 1 or
Appendix 4.
• The flexView PC is virus free. If in doubt, run an antivirus program first.

3 Required manpower
To perform the WECS-9520 software update procedure, one person is needed and it
will take approximately one hour.

4 Preparations before installing and running the WECS-9520 software

update tool
Make sure that at least one of the spare FCM-20 modules from the ship’s stock is
equipped with the software as used on the engine before the update. More precisely, the
FCM-20 modules must be in good condition and the installation-specific WECS software
must be copied before the WECS-9520 software update tool is started.

The instructions of how to install the WECS-9520 software by auto-download function to

a spare FCM-20 module can be found in Appendix 2.

4.1 Check out the current application information

The current installation specific application CRC value can be checked through the
operator interface of the flexView on the “Plant SW-INFO” page, see Figure 1.

The application CRC value (4) is displayed on the flexView PLANT SW-INFO page (see
Figure 1). If the application CRC value (4) matches with the respective Software version
and build (Table 2: “Column A and B”), a software update is required, i.e. follow the
instructions as listed in Chapter 5.

NOTE:
If the displayed CRC value (see Figure 1) cannot be found in “Column A” or “Column B”
of Table 2, the update can be omitted, i.e. the WECS-9520 software is up-to-date or does
not apply to your plant’s software.

5 WECS-9520 software update

ATTENTION:
• Make sure that neither power supplies to WECS-9520 nor the flexView PC are
disconnected during the update process.
• Both CAN bus lines to the WECS-9520 must be connected to the online spare
FCM-20#0 module in the E90 box – shipyard interface box, terminals 79 and 80 – see
also Appendix 4. No CAN-Bus failures must be active.
• Single FCM-20 modules (e.g. spares in stock) cannot be uploaded with the supplied
WECS-9520 software update tool individually. In this case see Chapter 4.
• Do not disconnect the USB-to-CAN adapter from the flexView PC while the update is
running, see Appendix 1.

NOTE:
The WECS-9520 software update can be performed several times without any negative
effect.
