D-Power Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 HOW TO UPDATE SILCA ELECTRONIC MACHINES The 1st thing to do is to power up the device that you want to update, then connect the device to the computer through Serial or USB cable. When the device is powered up and connected to the computer, start the program “Wintransfer†from menu: Start -> Silca Software -> Wintransfer And select the machine of your interest (in this case RW4): Press “Select†button to continue 1. Select the COM port, generally for serial cable is 1 or 2, for USB the port should be 6, 7 or 8. 2. Verify that machine is the machine that you want to update. 3. Pressing on “Online documentation†button you can see the device manual and how to configure and install USB drivers ports. 4. Click on button “Test connection†, the program try to communicate with the device, and if all is OK it show the device serial number (detail 5) and the software loaded in the machine (detail 7). If the program fail to connect to the device verify that you are using the right communication port. 5. If you want pressing button “Set Serial Number†you can change the device serial number. 6. Detail 6 shows the software version that Wintransfer program can load on the device. 7. Press “LOAD SOFTWARE UPDATE†button to update the machine. The update procedure starts, this may take several seconds. HOW TO UPDATE WINTRANSFER PROGRAM Now, is possible that the device software version that the Wintranfer is able to load in the machine is the same of the software version already loaded, to verify if there are further updates you can use the “Silca Remote Service†feature clicking on “Run Silca Remote Service†button (detail 9). A new windows shows up, click on updates button: the window change: Then click “Check†button (detail 1), the program make a connection to Silca and check if there are some software updates. In this case for RW4 machine there are new version, select the RW4 machine and click on “Download†button, wait that the download process is done and then you can close Silca Remote Service clicking on “Exit†button.

D-Power Posted July 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 I have an RW2 with tex code but have never had any software with it, is there anywhere I can download the software to perform an update? unfortunately no... you need to have a software, and the first time the software must be installed starting from a CD rom. the latest versions for RW2 with tex code is: RW2 version 30 TexCode 3.1 unfortunatly again RW2 updates are not available via Silca Remote Service... If you want I can send you by email a package to update RW2 to the latest version, it's a 4.3Mb .zip file that contains wintransfer for RW2+Tex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This seems to be a common problem with some Silca software. You can download a good version of Wintransfer if you follow this link; Wintransfer File Link If, like me, you struggle even with english, it may seem daunting.... but don't panic. Top right, where it looks like it is asking for a user name and password, just click the 'Go' box.... It should (hopefully) then offer to download Wintransfer automatically.

Lee Posted May 20, 2011 Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 The Chinese SBB's can't be updated, the button on the software is ghosted out. I think you can by altering a chip or doing some soldering inside them. You pays your money you takes your chances, if you'd brought a "Real" machine from silca you wouldn't have to worry!

SBBBR Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 Tks Lee, Anyone know how to altering the SBB(chip or doing some soldering inside) Chinesa for work like real SBB ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamparker Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 Why not try and give silca a call im sure they will be glad to help. NOT. It just goes to show if you buy a chinese copy then you get chinese backup, hopefully when you manage to completly destroy a customers ECU then maybee you'd think about the long term consequences of buying a copy machine. This issue has been covered many times on this forum and at the end of the day piracy is theft. I have nearly £40,000 of keycutting and programming equipment all genuine and with genuine software,so why should i be willing to help someone else cheating my suppliers out of there hard earned money. The real cost of a machine does not reflect how much money went into the research and development of that machine which is why costs are set at a reasonable price for the manufacturer to make profit, which they can then invest in future development of newer and better machines.If we all had pirated machinery then WHO would develop any new machinery???.

SBBBR Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 Hello guys, respect the opnion of grahamparker and sometimes agree to have products unique, even got some. But how consiguir compete with my competitor which has China SBB and last update. In my country(Brazil) the price of SBB China is more less 350USD other hand the SBB original is more less 8.805 USD. An action does not justify another but unfortunately, Brazil has a lot of taxes which contributes the high price of products. I am a father of family and given the situation in brazil I decided to buy the Chinese version. Thanks to Lee and who else can help me. When open the SBB i saw what Lee told the conector is software is ghosted. The conector RS232 does not is connected in SBB. Anyone know to connect the scheme? Can anyone help me update ? Thank you all in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
