Title: How to update ECOM firmware if no broadcast?
Post by: Henryp on July 17, 2015, 11:17:06 AM

I have a wireless network connecting remote PLCs and using layer 3 switches.  How can I update the firmware if Netedit can’t see the ECOM card because the switches don’t pass broadcast traffic?

Thanks

This has come up a few times before...so...we are doing a new version of NetEdit that will allow you to connect to a single device by specifying the address. Stand by...

Thanks, we have more than 75 ECOM cards in the distributions system.

It's coded and works. We're going to test a bit more and should roll it out early next week.
