SeaI/O Manual 76
The initial version of the firmware does not support theses Advanced Features. These units will
report their version number as “1”. Starting with version “2” support for these Advanced
Features was implemented. You may determine the version of your SeaIO device using the
MODBUS command FUNC_SEAMAX_GET_EXTENDED_INFO (0x66), or by viewing the device info
in MaxSSD, shown below.
In addition, the following modules do not support the Advanced Features:
 462
 463
 470
In the event that a newer version of the firmware is available, it is possible to upgrade the
firmware in the unit. This can be done through the same port that is used to do normal
communications with the unit. The exception is when the unit is used with a wireless
connection. In this case, the unit must be directly connected to the programming computer.
Since there is required interaction between the programming PC and the SeaIO module being
programmed, this must be done in a situation where only one SeaIO module is connected to the
programming computer.
Once you have the new programming file – this will be a file with a name similar to your SeaIO
model number with an extension of “.hex”. As an example, it you have a SeaIO 420 style
module, the programming file name would be “420E.hex”.
When you are provided the file to be programmed, you will also receive the programming
program. The name of this program is SeaIOCU.exe.
