Firmware upgrade instructions for G- and M-series adapters

Update via Ethernet (LAN cable)

For the FnIO Remote I/O network adapters with RJ45 Ethernet interface follow this guide.
Modules supporting the IAP firmware update mode are: GN-9287/GL-9087/M9287 PROFINET, GN-9289 MODBUS TCP/UDP and GN-9284 CC-link IE Field Basic etc.

1. Adjust the IP address of the PC to be the same subnet as the Remote I/O adapter.
   Network & Internet > Change adapter options > Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) > Properties, then adjust the PC IP address and Subnet mask:
   IP: 192.168.001.xxx (1..99) Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 in this example
   Note, the Beijer Remote I/O adapters normally uses the default IP: 192.168.1.100
   Example, adjust PC Ethernet port to IP address: 192.168.1.99
   

2. Set the 10-pol dip switch of the network adapter to value 254 (dec) and restart the adapter, that will activate the IAP Mode. 254(dec) = Fixed IP Address 192.168.1.100 *
   A value of 254(dec) = 00 1111 1110 (bin) counting from the dip switch No.1 as LSB bit.
   Dip switch 2 to 8 = ON and dip switch 1, 9, and 10 = OFF
   

3. Below example show screenshots from GN-9289 Modbus TCP and M9287 / GN-9287 ProfiNet adapter during update procedure. Note, for other type of network adapters there may be differences, please check specification documents.

4. Power up / Restart the device, that will enter the IAP mode.

5. In IAP mode the MOD LED = Flashing Red/Green, and the NET LED = Stable green.

6. Ping the adapter from a command prompt: ping 192.168.1.100
   

7. Enter the web page from a standard web browser. 192.168.1.100

8. Update firmware with binary file (Choose File):
   

9. Select the firmware file (*.bin):
   Example: Beijer_GN-9289_INA_Rev1011_20230103.bin
   
   Example: Beijer_M9287_Rev1005_20240223.bin
   
   Example: Beijer_GN-9287_INA_Rev1112_20240223.bin
   

10. Press “Update Firmware” and the procedure will start.

11. When the update is completed, this message is shown:
    

12. Now reset all dip switches, then press “Reset Adapter”.

13. Power Off/On to Restart the device.

14. Before using the ProfiNet adapter, check that the adapter has completed the update:
    a. Checking the ProfiNet adapter after firmware update using for example the free tool PRONETA from Siemens.
    b. Picture show the M9287 F/W 1.005 = V1.5.0 in the dialog.
    
    c. Picture show the GN-9287 F/W 1.112 = V1.112.0 in the dialog.
    

15. Before using the Modbus adapter, check that the adapter has completed the update:
    a. Checking the Modbus TCP adapter via the built-in web server, use 192.168.1.100 (default IP)
    b. Picture show the adapter GN-9289 F/W 1.011
    

16. Check the firmware version of the same adapter GN-9289 using IO Guide Pro
    a. Select submenu: Tools > Protocol Messenger > Modbus, and device IP and Protocol: Modbus TCP
    
    b. From the GN-9289 manual read out the Modbus address for the Firmware version
    
    c. Send Modbus message on address (hex): 1003 Response: 010B (hex) = 1.011
