Summary

Product Updates for supporting new flash-types

An important part of Hilscher's product lifecycle management process is the maintenance of existing products to ensure continued and long term availability to our customers.

In the context of an update of a Flash component, the extension of identifiers becomes necessary. Following this, users must use a minimum firmware version from a defined hardware revision.

To make the change to compatible firmware versions as easy and smooth as possible Hilscher has created updates for all current firmware versions.

Below you will find a list of firmware versions from which an unlimited compatibility is given:

  • netTAP 151 → V1.4.0.5
  • netTAP 151 CCIES → V1.3.0.4

Other products are not affected by the flash update.

Hilscher will send a PCN document with detailed descriptions of the compatibility of each affected product with a few months notice before the change, to update the firmware

Expand

Due to a major stack update of the firmware, the DTMs for the netTAP 100 are changed in SYCON.net. During the configuration of a netTAP 100 devices it is possible to choose between different DTMs in order to define the desired protocol combination:

To enable the configuration of netTAP 100 gateways with the old and new firmware, use the following DTMs for the respective firmware version:

DTM nameFirmware version
Open Modbus/TCP V3V2.0.0.x
POWERLINK Controlled Node V3V2.0.0.x
PROFINET IO Controller V3Do not use. Please use PROFINET IO Controller instead.
Open Modbus/TCPV1.7.0.x
POWERLINK Controlled NodeV1.7.0.x
PROFINET IO ControllerV1.7.0.x
OthersV2.0.0.x and V1.7.0.x

The version of the firmware is shown when the desired conversion is selected. (See here (1)).

The EDS files related to the firmware version are provided in different folders:

..\ Firmware,_EDS,_Examples,_Webpages\Firmware_&_EDS\netTAP 100\DeviceDescription\V1.7.0.x and V2.0.0.x respectively
