netX 90 Firmware
The IO-Link function in the sensorEDGE device is provided by the device-
embedded network controller
netX 90
. In case an update of the firmware
for this controller is necessary, the
netX 90 Firmware
update tab can be
used.
Note:
The netX 90 firmware needs to be updated only in rare cases (after
consultation with the Hilscher support). Note also that the update
requires local access; i.e. it can be performed only here in the Local
Device Manager – not via the sensorEDGE Portal.
