ETL600
Note:
The information content of type codes in case of modules
containing firmware depends on the possibility to
download firmware from HMI600 into the module:
•
If for a module firmware download is not possible, the
type code of that module identifies the hardware
including
the firmware version.
•
If for a module firmware download is possible, the type
code of that module identifies the hardware
excluding
the firmware version. The download files for the
firmware of such modules are included on the HMI600
disc.
Example: O4LE
4.8.2.
Compatibility between modules of a PLC terminal
The modules of an ETL600 terminal must belong to the same release
as given by Table 1 in the document 'Compatibility requirements for
ETL600'.
4.8.3.
Compatibility between the two ETL600 terminals of a link
The two ETL600 terminals of a link must belong to the same release.
A warning 'Inconsistent firmware on local and remote equipment' will
be generated by the terminals if this rule is not respected.
4.8.4.
Compatibility of HMI600 to ETL600 terminals
The compatibility relations between HMI600 and an ETL600 terminal
can best be explained referring to Fig. 4-10. As shown, the
compatibility issue is coupled to the data transfer operations 'Upload'
and 'Download'. Testing of these operations for the present and for
past releases of ETL600 terminals is part of the system tests carried
out for each release of the ETL600 system.

HMI600 compatibility relations
Generally, an specific HMI600 version will be fully compatible to
ETL600 terminals of the same release. It will have restricted
compatibility (symbol '

' in Fig. 4-10; definition: refer to the
explanations below) to a number of past releases. Updates of hard-,
