BSCM Modbus SL/ULP Module Firmware Update

Introduction

The primary reason for updating the firmware of a BSCM Modbus SL/ULP module is to obtain the latest BSCM Modbus SL/ULP features. If the latest BSCM Modbus SL/ULP features are not required, it is not mandatory to update the firmware of the BSCM Modbus SL/ULP module and the Enerlin’X devices of the IMU.

The BSCM Modbus SL/ULP module remains operational and is able to communicate during firmware update.

For all firmware updates, use the latest version of EcoStruxure Power Commission software.
