Upgrading Device Firmware

This chapter describes the procedure of upgrading firmware in the ETC ONE PLUS through the COM1 RS-485 port using PAS™.
When you put your device into program mode, its COM1 port operates as a MODBUS Slave port at 19200 baud by default. Downloading firmware at a slow baud rate may be very time-consuming.
It is recommended to use the maximum available speed of 115200 baud for downloading firmware.
Returning to Normal mode operation, the ETC I COM1 port will operate back as a MODBUS Master port at the predefined baud.
Your meter has upgradeable firmware. If you need to upgrade your device, download a new firmware file to the meter through PAS.
Firmware can be downloaded via the MODBUS RTU or MODBUS/TCP protocol through any communication port.

To download a new firmware file to your device:

Ensure that the communication port you are connected to the meter operates in Modbus mode.
If you are connected to the meter through a serial interface, it is recommended to set the port baud rate to 115,200 bps. See Setting Up Serial Communication Ports on how to remotely change the protocol and baud rate in your meter.
Ensure that the Online button on the PAS toolbar is checked, and then select Flash Downloader from the Monitor menu and confirm downloading.
Point to the firmware upgrade file for your meter, click Open, and then confirm upgrading the meter.
You are asked for the password regardless of the password protection setting in your meter. Type the meter password, and click OK. If you did not change the password in the meter, enter the default password 0.
Wait until PAS completes upgrading your device. It takes about 3-4 minutes at 115,200 bps to download the file to the meter
After upgrading the firmware is completed, the meter restarts, so communications can be temporarily lost. You may need to wait a short duration until PAS restores a connection with your device
