UPGRADING THE MODBUS GATEWAY FIRMWARE 

Occasionally, updated firmware may become available for your Modbus gateway. The firmware can be upgraded 
using the Ethernet Modbus Gateway Manager software. The following procedure describes the firmware updating 
process:   

1.

 

Click the 

Upgrade

 button to open the 

Firmware Upgrade 

dialog box.  

 

Figure 16. 

Firmware Upgrade Dialog Box 

The name of the currently selected Modbus gateway appears in the top

 

drop down list. Other 

Modbus gateways (that have already been discovered) can be selected from the drop down list, if 
desired. 

The current firmware version of the selected Modbus gateway is shown in the text below the 
Modbus gateway name. 

Information about the selected firmware file is shown in the third text box. 

 

DOWNLOADING FIRMWARE FILES 

The 

Firmware File

 list (second box) displays all firmware files in the firmware installation folder. Only firmware that 

is compatible with the selected Modbus gateway is available in this list.
