Updating Firmware for Use in CODESYS
- You need to have downloaded and unpacked the firmware. The firmware is available as *.wup and *.img file.
Note: Firmware version 23 is required for using WAGO devices with CODESYS Runtime (see 8 General Information). After the update, use the devices only in CODESYS.
If you want to use firmware version 24, this online help provides two examples of migrating 8 Edge Controllers/Touch Panels 600 and 8 PFC200.
- Load the firmware onto your device(s) either with WAGOupload (*.wup) or via SD card (*.img):
Updating Firmware with WAGOupload
- Click [Update Firmware] in WAGOupload. A wizard guides you through the different steps of the firmware update.
- Enter the IP address of the controller and select [Find Controller].
- Check the box to the left of the desired controller.
- Select the update file (*. wup).
- Perform the firmware update.
or
Updating Firmware via SD Card
- Copy the firmware file (*.img) to the SD card, for instance using the “Win32 Disk Imager” or ”UNetbootin” freeware tool.
- Switch the controller off, insert the memory card into the SD slot and switch the controller back on.
- The controller boots from the memory card with the firmware image to be installed.
- After the controller boots up, open the WBM “Administration” page > “Create Boot Image” (you may have to change the IP address temporarily to do so).
- To create a new boot image on the internal memory, click [Start Copy].
- After the process is complete, turn the controller off, remove the memory card and turn the controller back on.
- The controller now starts with the new firmware version.
