You can upload firmware to your meter’s remote display by loading the firmware
upgrade file onto your meter’s internal FTP site.

upgrade files from www.usa.siemens.com/pds.

internal FTP site.

Device-specific information
Manufacturing-related information about the meter is available from the Factory
module or through Modbus commands.
The meter’s Factory module stores meter details such as device type, serial number
and vendor name. You can use ION Setup in advanced mode to view the contents of
the Factory module’s setup registers. Similarly, you can use Modbus commands to
read the Modbus registers mapped to the corresponding Factory module’s registers.
NOTE: Not all ION device setup registers are mapped to Modbus registers by
default.
Other device-specific details, such as Product Code, are not stored in the Factory
module. Product Code (also known as Modbus Product ID) is a number that the
manufacturer assigned to a product to uniquely identify it, for use by systems that
specifically require this information. You can use the device’s Modbus map and
Modbus commands to read the Modbus Product ID.
The ION Reference describes the Factory module in detail. You can download the ION
Reference and your device’s Modbus map from www.usa.siemens.com/pds.
