MPU Controller Board Firmware Version 3.00
PRODUCTS INVOLVED
A Model 352P, 353, 354 or 354N Controller with MPU Controller Board V3.00 firmware
INTRODUCTION
This Software Release memo discusses the enhancements and operational considerations for firmware
version 3.00 MPU Controller board software (firmware).
ENHANCEMENTS
Model 353 controllers: V3.00 firmware adds Ethernet communication function blocks and V2.00
Ethernet Communication board firmware to the features provided by earlier firmware versions. An
Ethernet Communication option board with V2.00 firmware must be installed in a Model 353 controller
for the added blocks to be available. Note: Ethernet communications is not available in a Model 352P,
354, or 354N.
•
AWE Function Block – The AWE (Analog Write Ethernet) block allows the controller to write
analog data to other Modbus devices over the Ethernet network.
•
CWE Function Block – The CWE (Coil Write Ethernet) block allows the controller to write coil
data to other Modbus devices over the Ethernet network.
•
DWE Function Block – The DWE (Digital Write Ethernet) block allows the controller to write
digital data to other Modbus devices over the Ethernet network.
•
V2.00 Ethernet Communication board firmware (included in this release)
V3.00 firmware enhances the AIE, CIE, and DIE function blocks through the inclusion of additional
parameters for data type selection.
All listed controllers: The RLM block now accepts an adaptive rate input.
OPERATIONAL CONSIDERATIONS
•
After downloading a configuration to a station that has an RTC/CB board installed, an "RTC-MEM"
message may appear following a power interruption. Respond to the message by storing a
configuration parameter at the controller faceplate.
UPGRADE CONSIDERATIONS AND MATERIALS
1. Check the current MPU Controller Board firmware version before upgrading. To display the
firmware version, refer to the STATN – Station Parameters section in the Function Blocks chapter of
the controller's User's Manual.
