There are 2 ways to update the product firmware:
• Enabling Automatic Firmware Update (recommended)
• Updating the Firmware at the product via USB Flash Drive
Enabling Automatic Firmware Update (recommended)
• Activating the automatic firmware update via the user interface during commissioning. By
activating the automatic firmware update, the product searches and installs new firmware
versions automatically provided an Internet connection exists. In the process, an available
firmware update may take up to 48 hours.
• Subsequently, the automatic firmware update can be enabled in the device parameters of the
product. To do this, select the menu item Parameters in the Configuration menu and for the
parameter Automatic updates turned on select the value Yes.
