Firmware version of the Bus Couplers
 | Required firmware A particular firmware version may be required for operating the KL6224 IO-Link terminal on the Bus Coupler / Bus Terminals Controller (see table below) |
In delivery state the KL6224 is set to a process image of 24 bytes.
Most Bus Couplers and Bus Terminal Controllers listed in the table support the 12-byte process image.
Bus Couplers / Bus Terminals Controllers that are not listed are not yet ready for operation with 24-byte process images or higher.
The delivered firmware version is shown on the back of the Bus Coupler (see example below for CANopen).
If required, the firmware can be updated via the serial port (KS2000 cable required) or - depending on the bus system - via the fieldbus. The current firmware versions and the program for the firmware update are available from the Beckhoff Support.
