For updating your firmware you need a serial cable, the KS2000 configuration software, or the firmware update program.

Firmware

Description

1.27

  • From this version the BX can also be used without K-bus terminals, if none are configured in the System Manager; no error will be generated

1.20

  • support of TwinSAFE terminals; only one logic terminal is permitted at the K-bus, with a maximum of seven connections
  • Switching of the COM 2 interface between RS232 and RS485 modified

    ATTENTION
    Firmware 1.20 does not run on older hardware versions (lower than 3.5). Please take the hardware version of your BX Controller from its sticker

1.17

  • New: Support of persistent data
  • Forcing and reading of the TwinCAT configuration corrected
  • CFC tool is supported as in firmware 1.14 and lower

1.16

  • Online change problem rectified for large projects
  • New: Display backlight can be switched off
  • New: Boot project CRC display can be enabled during booting
  • REAL_TO_STRING: Real variables, e.g. 9.0, are now output as string in this form, i.e. '9.0' (previously '9.')
  • TC-Config: 4-way and 8-way analog terminals fixed

1.14

  • K-bus updated
  • CAN slave interface updated
  • SSB reset of the SSB implemented
  • Generic function implemented
  • Non-implemented features are disabled with the System Manager, Build 1303.
  • Writing of outputs is possible with TwinCAT Build 1302
  • Optimization of the terminal verification in a TwinCAT configuration
  • The TC-Config supports KL1212
  • The TC-Config supports KM modules
