Uploading Protocol-Specific Firmware on the DeviceMaster UP
Comtrol ships the PortVision Plus from the factory with SocketServer firmware
installed on the device. The SocketServer firmware provides an interface to TCP/
IP socket mode configuration and services.
If you intend to use DeviceMaster UP in one of the following environments, you
must replace SocketServer with protocol-specific firmware:
•
EtherNet/IP
•
Modbus/TCP
•
PROFINET CbA
The CD shipped with the DeviceMaster UP contains the required firmware and
support files in a self-installing (
.msi
) file or you can download the latest from the
Internet.
Use the following procedure to update the firmware on your DeviceMaster UP for
the appropriate protocol. See
Locating Software and Documentation
on Page 6, if
you need to download the
.msi
file.

If you have not done so, open the
.msi
file and follow the installation wizard to
copy the files to a
/Comtrol/
folder onto your system.

Start > Programs > Comtrol > PortVision Plus

menu option.
