IMPORTANT NOTE: Devices might not require an update every time a new software package is
released. Review the release notes to determine if an update is appropriate for your scenario and
application requirements. In the case of critical bug fixes, a technical bulletin might be issued to
indicate that an update is required. Technical bulletins identify the product hardware or software
versions impacted.
Follow your company policies for the evaluation or testing of software updates before updating devices
already in service.

Software packages
Software packages typically contain the main Totalflow application (Totalflow.exe, also referred to as flash
in our download sites). If the main application also requires an updated version of the operating system
(OS) or boot software, the package also includes the boot and OS software.
Software updates should not affect the configuration of a device. However, always collect data and save
the configuration before any updates.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you attempt an application-only (flash) update when an OS/boot update is
also required, the loader rejects the update until you use the correct package and select all required
items. The loader determines if the flash is compatible with the OS/Boot software currently in the
device. See the Loader help topics in PCCU for additional details.
Software packages are available for download at www.abb.com/upstream. Software packages have a base
part number followed by 3 digits to indicate the build version of the package. For example, the number of
the XIO package containing both OS and Flash is 2106200. A package numbered 2106200-029 reflects
build 29 of that package type.
Package part numbers are different for each product type. To locate packages on the ABB website, select
the product and the applicable package.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you have any questions or are unable to locate or download a software
update package, call Technical Support.

Determine device software part number/version
This procedure describes how to determine the software part numbers from PCCU. This information is
helpful to determine if updates are necessary, or when ABB technical support requests them during
troubleshooting.
