Start-up / Update
Important note
Installing an update can take some minutes. Please do not switch off the device when an
update is running. This might damage the device.
8.1
Auto-Update
After having mounted the module and applied the voltage to the central unit, the central
unit detects the modules and checks the software version.
The central unit has a so called “overall release version“. This version contains the
current software version of the central unit as well as the software versions of the
modules. You can find the “overall release version“ on the Website of the central unit on
the „firmware“ tab.
When the software version of a module does not match the “overall release version“ of
the central unit, the central unit does an automatic up- or downgrade of the module.
Thereafter, the module is ready to be used.
Important note
The “overall release version“ contains all modules developed up to the date of release
of this firmware and the corresponding software versions. If a module cannot be
detected, yet (i.e. it is more recent than the firmware version of the CPU), this module
is ignored and outlined in red on the Web interface.
In this case, a new update file has to be installed for the “overall release version“. If you
want to get the current update file, please contact the iba Support.
8.2
Overall Release Version
The „overall release version“ provides information about the software version of the
entire iba-modular system. You can find it on the Website of the central unit or in the
I/O Manager of ibaPDA.
Important note
If you require support, specify the „overall release version“.
8.3
Update
An update can be installed in two different ways.
Web interface (only with ibaPADU-S-IT-2x16)
ibaPDA
No matter which of the both ways you choose to install an update: the progress of the
update is shown by the LEDs L5 … L8. Beginning with L5, the LEDs are flashing one
after another, at first in orange and then in green and at a slower rate. When the update
is finished, the device will be rebooted.
