eI/O Manual 29
Modules with version “2” or higher support several Advanced Features. You may determine the
version of your SeaIO device using the MODBUS command FUNC_SEAMAX_GET_EXTENDED_INFO
(0x66), using the SeaMAX method SM_GetDeviceConfig(), or by viewing the Module Description
in MaxSSD, shown below.
In the event that a newer version of the firmware is available, it is possible to upgrade the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 unit must be directly connected to the programming
computer.
This will be a file with a name similar to your eI/O model number with an extension of “.hex”.
As an example, it you have a eI/O 120 style module, the programming file name would be
“120.hex”. Please contact Tech Support to receive the latest version of the firmware.
The device‟s firmware can be upgraded in one of two ways. The first is through the command
prompt. The second, preferred method, is through the MaxSSD Configuration Utility.
To execute IOCU.exe from a command prompt, Click on Start, then click Run and type “cmd”
(without the quotation marks and hit enter. You will then see a command prompt (ie.
c:\documents and settings\name>). Once you are at the command prompt, browse to your
SeaMAX folder. The default location is “C:\Program Files\Sealevel Systems\SeaMAX\”. Your
*.hex file will need to be saved to this folder as well.
