Use the links below to transfer the latest EGX200/400 firmware to your Computer. Note: Communication to serial devices through the EGX during firmware updates is not available. Communications should be restored automatically in most Powerlogic Systems.
EGX200 -- The version 6.1 firmware update includes better broadcast/multicast storm resiliency, auto negotiation improvements, serial communications support for Odd parity, and the ability to communicate with ModbusTCP/IP protocol over nonstandard MTU sized Ethernet networks.
To properly update your EGX200:
1. Transfer the version 6.1 firmware file (egx06100.bin) to your Computer.
2. Use FTP to copy the "egx06100.bin" file from your Computer to the EGX (once the file transfer is complete, the EGX will automatically reboot). Refer to the EGX 200/400 Users Guide if you need more information.
3. Allow the EGX to reboot after the file transfer and browse the EGX to confirm v6.1 is displayed.
