M4M FIRMWARE UPDATE

3/10

1Material and tools needed

•Latest FW version of M4M available at this link (1SDC200011X0100)

•User manual of M4M 20 Network Analyzer available at this link

(2CSG445032D0201)

•User manual of M4M 30 Network Analyzer available at this link

(2CSG445042D0201)

•EPiC 3 software, updated to the latest version, available at this link

(1SDC20011X3000)

2Initial settings on M4M device

•Steps described below shall be completed per each M4M before starting

updating FW.

•In case of product communicating via Modbus RTU, please follow the

dedicated section "M4M Modbus RTU” for both M4M 20 and M4M 30 ver-

sions

•In case of M4M product communicating via Modbus TCP/IP, please follow

the dedicated section "M4M Ethernet" for both M4M 20 and M4M 30 ver-

sions

2.1 M4M Modbus RTU

(M4M 20 Modbus, M4M 20 I\O, M4M 20 Rogowski, M4M 30 Modbus,

M4M 30 I\O, M4M 30 Rogowski)

A. Check that Modbus RTU cable connected to the ABB power meter is cor-

rectly connected, in particular make sure that

W1=A=+

W2=B=-

TIP: in case the device is not communicating, re-cable the device by

switching terminals (hence: W1=B=-; W2=A=+)

B. Steps to set Modbus RTU communication parameters are described in

section “Communication menu” of M4M 20 and M4M 30 user manual.

On the device, go to

"HOME"→"Configuration"→"Communication"→”Modbus RTU".

In the "Address" section, select an address from 2 to 247.

In the "Baud rate" section, select the desired baud rate from the list

(9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200).

TIP: with a default baud rate of 19200 the FW update takes about

20 minutes. With 115200 it takes about 6 minutes.

In the "Parity" section, select the desired parity from the list (Even, Odd,

None)

M4M FIRMWARE UPDATE

4/10

C. Follow the instructions in case M4M is a slave device in master/slave

RS485 network or M4M is directly connected via serial port to PC:

TIP: In order to directly connect M4M to PC, a RS-485/USB con-

verter is needed.

Verify that Modbus RTU communication settings of M4M are equal to

Modbus RTU settings of the master device.

If the master device is an ABB cloud access point, default settings are re-

ported below:

• Baud Rate = 19200

• Protocol = 8E1 (8 bit data, even parity and 1 bit stop)

• RTU address for Master Device = 1

• RTU address for M4M slave device: to be inserted starting from 2 to 247.

TIP: Each device shall be provided with a different slave address.

Otherwise, only one of the devices with the same slave address

can be recognized.

2.2 M4M Ethernet

(M4M 20 Ethernet, M4M 30 Ethernet)

A. Steps to set Modbus TCP/IP communication parameters are described in

section "Communication" of M4M 20 and M4M 30 user manual.

To reach the settings section, on the device, go to "HOME" → "Configura-

tion" → "Communication" → "Modbus TCP/IP". Parameters that can be set

are DHCP, IP address, Subnet mask, Gateway and TCP port.

In the "DHCP" section, select between Enable and Disable.

In the "IP address" section, select the desired address of the device or

read the current IP address if the DHCP support is enabled.

TIP: In case of ABB cloud access point, DHCP on M4M should be

disabled (as default) and its TCP port, which is already enabled,

should be at the default value (502).

TIP: In case of ABB cloud access point, IP of M4M shall be in the

range of the sub-network where the cloud access point is con-

nected, which must be provided with access to the internet.

B. According to the architecture, follow the instructions

1. M4M directly connected to laptop via Ethernet port

Laptop shall be connected to same Ethernet network where the

M4M is connected. To access IP settings in Windows, access laptop

“Control Panel” → ”Network and Sharing Center” → ”Change

adapter settings” → right click on “Local Area Connection (LAN)”

→ ”Properties”>”Internet Protocol Version” and “Properties”.

2. M4M connected in the local area network

Laptop shall be connected to the same local area network as M4M.

3FW update procedure via EPiC desktop

A. Make sure you have a MyABB account. If not, please register on MyABB to

activate an account.

TIP: In case of Modbus master device in the RS-485 architecture

(e.g. PLC), the master should be disabled in order to use EPiC

desktop and perform the FW update

B. Open EPiC desktop in the “Scan” tab

C. Configure the scanning via communication protocol

1. Via Modbus RTU (M4M Modbus)

Click on “Configure” under Serial port.

Select port name, baudrate, parity, slave addresses of all devices

connected via Modbus RTU to be updated.

Press “OK”.

2. Via Modbus TCP/IP (M4M Ethernet)

Click on “Configure” under Ethernet

In the section “IP addresses”, insert the IP address of M4M Ether-

net in the list of IP addresses to be scanned. It is possible to either

add IP addresses one by one (“Use IP address list”), or input IP ad-

dress range (“Use IP address range”).

Press “Ok”.

D. After the configuration is completed, click on “Scan”

E. EPiC desktop allows to visualize the product-related pages, including

dashboard and Modbus map reading via Classic View.

In the Information section of the Dashboard it is possible to check what is

the firmware version currently installed on M4M

F. Click on “Tools”

G. Click on “Firmware Update”

H. Click on the “Firmware update” option in order to upload the FW version

previously downloaded from the ABB Library here. Please extract the .enc

file from the downloaded .zip.

I. Please click on the “Select file from Computer” option and select the .enc

related to the latest FW version of M4M.

M4M FIRMWARE UPDATE

J. Click on “Update Firmware” and later on “Yes” in order to start the update

process.

TIP: Please ensure that no other software or devices are actively

communicating with the M4M during the FW update process, in or-

der to have a successful update.

K. A loading bar will inform regarding the status of the FW update. After

reaching the 100%, M4M will start the rebooting process for few minutes

while checking the new firmware. The screen will turn black and the red

LED lights will be on. Please do not unplug the M4M’s auxiliary power sup-

ply during this operation.
