This page describes how to update the firmware on an IO12.

The IO12 can be updated using a Barionet and a PC/Mac using a terminal program to control the BCL application named MBT (Modbus Tester & Loader). The terminal program can connect to the application MBT either via network (TCP) or a serial (RS-232) connection (two different BCL applications).

== Prerequisites ==
Prepare the following material:
* PC or Mac with e and a terminal program such as hyperterm
* Optionally: a serial port (HW or USB2serial) and a serial cross cable (3 wire, DB9 female to DB9 female)
* A [[Barionet 50]] (FW 2.00 or higher) or a [[Barionet|Barionet 100]] (FW 2.08 or higher)
* Modbus Test & Load BCL application: choose '''MBT_Vxx_S.cob''' for serial cable or '''MBT_Vxx_T.cob''' for TCP terminal control (xx= stands for actual version number). Download the MBT file from the barix download section [[http://www.barix.com/downloads/MBT_Application_Modbus_Tester_Loader_for_extensions/2711]]
* Power supply 9VDC (min.) to 30VDC (max.), to supply both Barionet and IO12, 300mA (min.)
* 4pin Extension cable to connect to [[Barionet 50]] or 4 wires to connect to [[Barionet|Barionet 100]] 

'''&rArr; Tips:''' 
* Using a [[Barionet 50]] is simpler as it needs no wiring: The supplied 4 pin extension cable can be used !
* Using the TCP version of the application is simpler as it needs no serial port and serial cable ! It works via the Ethernet network connection.

== Hardware setup ==
# Connect the PC/Mac and the Barionet to your network switch or hub.
# Prepare the power supply to connect it to the Barionet in a later step.
# Depending on the kind of application control connection do the following:
#:* If you plan to use the TCP version of the application skip to step 3.
#:* If you plan to use the serial version of the application: Connect the PC/Mac to the serial port of the Barionet with the cross cable
# Depending on which Barionet you choose wire the IO12 as following:
#:* If you use the Barionet 50: bridge the Barionet 50 (J10) and the IO12 (J9 or J10) using the supplied 4 pin extension cable.
#:* If you use the Barionet 100: As the 4 pin extension cable is '''NOT''' supported, connect the Barionet 50 to the IO12 using 4 wires via the screw block terminals as following:

== Software setup ==
# Power up the Barionet and gather the IP address (check your DHCP server, use the Barix Discovery tool or use the ARP trick as explained in the Quick Install Guide)
# Depending on the kind of application control connection do the following:
#: If you plan to use the TCP version of the application:
#:* Load the  file '''MBT_Vxx_T.cob''' (xx is the version, at the time of writing: 11) into the Barionet's page WEB4 (Barionet 50: via extended web update, Barionet 100: via tftp), reboot when done and wait 10 seconds
#:* Start a terminal program (Telnet session) and connect via TCP port 12345 to the IP of your Barionet
#: If you plan to use the serial version of the application:
#:* Load the  file '''MBT_Vxx_S.cob''' (xx is the version, at the time of writing: 11) into the Barionet's page WEB4 (Barionet 50: via extended web update, Barionet 100: via tftp), reboot when done and wait 10 seconds
#:* Connect the PC/Mac to the serial port of the Barionet with the cross cable
#:* Start a terminal program with the serial settings 9600,8,N,1 no HW control

== Firmware Update procedure ==
#After the above Hardware and Software setup the terminal shows:
#:<code>Modbus and X8/R6 Test Application</code>
#:<code>Please select: 1 for factory, 2 for service mode, 3 for loader</code>
#Hit the number '''2''' and hit the '''Enter (&crarr;)''' key for sevice mode. The terminal shows:
#:<code>Wadr,reg,val | Radr,reg,num or | sSadr,coil,val | bBadr | Is1,s2 | Cs1,s2 | Fs1,s2 | X ?</code>
#To check if talking to the IO12 is possible enter '''R0,256,4''' (capital R, zero, comma, two, five, six, comma, four) and hit the '''Enter (&crarr;)''' key. The terminal shows:
#:<code>R0,256,4</code>
#:<code>READ: 00B3 0008 000C 0052</code>
#:The first group of digits tells the HW Type (B3=IO12), the 2nd tells the current version (V8), the 3rd the Serial 1 (0xC=12 decimal) and the 4th the Serial 2 (0x52=82 decimal). Both serials can be found on the data plate of the IO12 !
#Now that we know that the connection works we can start with deleting the existing firmware by entering '''F12,82''' (capital F, serial1, comma, serial2)
#:&rArr; Make sure you use the correct serial numbers 1 and 2 (decimal values not hex) of '''YOUR''' device !!! 
#:and hit the '''Enter (&crarr;)''' key. The terminal shows:
#:<code>F12,82</code>
#:<code>?</code>
#:<code>Wadr,reg,val | Radr,reg,num or | sSadr,coil,val | bBadr | Is1,s2 | Cs1,s2 | Fs1,s2 | X ?</code>
#:&rArr; Do NOT be fooled by the question mark. The IO12 will carry out the Erase command and after 5 to 10 seconds the PWR LED will go dark.
#::*If the PWR LED stays lit then repeat step 4 carefully.
#::*If after repeating step 4 the PWR LED stays lit then contact Barix support to check if the device  must be returned to Barix (via reseller) for factory programming. 
#Hit the '''X''' (capital X) and then hit the '''Enter (&crarr;)''' key to exit the service mode. The terminal shows:
#:<code>Modbus and X8/R6 Test Application</code>
#:<code>Please select: 1 for factory, 2 for service mode, 3 for loader</code>
#Do NOT wait and hit the number '''3''' and hit the '''Enter (&crarr;)''' key for loader mode. The terminal shows:
#:<code>wrong serial setup - correcting & rebooting ..</code>
#After the reboot the loader mode will be started automatically. The terminal shows:
#:<code>Modbus and X8/R6 Test Application</code>
#:<code>Please select: 1 for factory, 2 for service mode, 3 for loader</code>
#:<code>loader started, please reset unit. Press F for erase command, S to send firmwar</code>
#Hit the '''S''' (capital S) and then hit the '''Enter (&crarr;)''' key to start the firmware update. The terminal shows:
#:<code>sending firmware</code>
#:&rArr; This will take about 20 seconds (the RS-485 LED of the Barionet flickers during transmission) and when done the terminal shows:
#:<code>end programming</code>
#:<code>firmware load complete</code>
#::*If it says "end prgramming" only go start over to repeat the erase command (step 4) because it will only accept programming when erased prior to programming
#:&rArr; After a seconds the PWR LED will be lit.
#::*If it stays dark power cycle the IO12 (disconnect the power wires, wait 4 seconds and reconnect power wires)
#::*If it still stays dark repeaet power cycling up to 3 more times
#::*If it stays dark go back to step 4 and repeat the erase command
#Hit the '''X''' (capital X) and then hit the '''Enter (&crarr;)''' key to exit the loader mode. The terminal shows:
#:<code>Please select: 1 for factory, 2 for service mode, 3 for loader</code>
#Do NOT wait and hit the number '''2''' and hit the '''Enter (&crarr;)''' key for service mode. The terminal shows:
#:<code>wrong serial setup - correcting & rebooting ..</code>
#After the reboot the terminal shows:
#:<code>Modbus and X8/R6 Test Application</code>
#:<code>Please select: 1 for factory, 2 for service mode, 3 for loader</code>
#Hit the number '''2''' and hit the '''Enter (&crarr;)''' key for sevice mode. The terminal shows:
#:<code>Wadr,reg,val | Radr,reg,num or | sSadr,coil,val | bBadr | Is1,s2 | Cs1,s2 | Fs1,s2 | X ?</code>
#To check if the update of the IO12 went fine enter '''R0,256,4''' (capital R, zero, comma, two, five, six, comma, four) and hit the '''Enter (&crarr;)''' key. The terminal shows:
#:<code>R0,256,4</code>
#:<code>READ: 00B3 000B 000C 0052</code>
#:The second group (word) of digits tells the current firmware version (now 0xB = V11).
#:&rArr; If it still says the old version then the update failed. Start over from the beginning.
Gratulations, you succesfully updated the device.
