Updating the IoE Module firmware

If updating the IoE Module from firmware 1.0 or 1.1, be sure to have all SDI-12 devices connected during the update. If they are not connected, configuration data will be lost and you will have to re-add the sensors. The update requires cloud connectivity.

IoE Module firmware updates are loaded from a computer to the IoE Module using the USB port. To apply the update:

1. Download the file to your computer.

   Firmware files are available from Firmware Downloads. The file name is cwcfw_1.2.0.ioe_pkg or something similar.

2. Power off the IoE Module.

   Press the power button () and then select Yes to power off the device.

   

3. Connect a USB cable between the module and your computer.

   The USB connector is labeled in the IoE Module. It accepts a USB Micro-B connector.

   Caution: The Micro-B connector is fragile. Do not apply lateral force to the cable connector when inserting and removing the cable to avoid damaging the circuit board.

   

4. Power on the IoE Module.

   It will start in update mode and appear as a USB drive on your computer called LI-COR_IOE.

   

5. Drag the file or copy and paste the file to the folder.

   

   The IoE Module will apply the update. Progress is shown on the display.

   

6. Watch as the IoE Module restarts.

   The initialization screen displays the firmware version briefly before advancing to the home screen.
