Firmware Updater is a software management tool for Tecomat Foxtrot PLCs communicating over an Ethernet network. With this tool, you can easily change the firmware versions of the Foxtrot central units and the peripheral modules connected to them on the TCL2 or CIB communication buses.
RFox radio modules are not currently supported.
Thanks to the newly introduced application descriptor system, it provides a comprehensive view of the complete assembly of the PLC system in the form of a tree structure, allowing the user better orientation when updating the firmware of the selected device.
Everything is supplemented by informative texts and pictures. In addition to viewing PLC reports in the form of a tree structure, the user is offered the possibility to generate a complete list of possible firmware updates in the entire PLC system, with the push of a button to upgrade them to the latest available version.
Access to new firmware versions and other files released by Teco a.s. then provides an update system that acquires information on newly released versions on the company's official FTP site. Firmwary and other necessary files are downloaded from the FTP server in complete sets directly to the computer, which gives users the confidence that after a successful update, they will have access to any of these files even offline.
