Firmware BC9000/BC9100
You can determine which firmware was fitted when the Bus Coupler left the factory from the adhesive label underneath (see the fifth and sixth figures of the production number).
Example: 3200B2020000
The firmware in the example is B2.
In order to update your firmware, you require the KS2000 configuration software and the serial cable included with that software; as from software version B6, you can update your coupler using the TwinCAT 2.8 system manager. You will find the firmware under www.beckhoff.com.
