Firmware
Firmware updates are available from DENT Instruments, contained in a Zip file that
can be downloaded, unzipped, and installed using ViewPoint 4.0 or later. The
Firmware screen verifies the current firmware version and updates the MD-BMED’s
internal firmware. When not connected using a USB, updating firmware is only
supported in Modbus mode.
If RS-485 communication is used, a baud rate of 9600 will download the firmware to
the unit in approximately six minutes. A faster baud rate can be selected to reduce the
time by approximately 2.5 minutes. The baud rate is synchronized between ViewPoint
and the MD-BMED meter by clicking the Connect button on the Communications tab.
Siemens Industry, Inc. recommends using 115,200 bps as the baud rate when
downloading firmware updates using an RS-485.
There are no baud rate settings when connected using USB or Ethernet.
The Meter Version Update Checking pop-up screen displays when a meter is
connected if your firmware is out-of-date, and Automatic Checking is enabled. If a new
version is available, the version number of the latest release displays. Click the
Download button on the pop-up screen to obtain the latest firmware from the DENT
