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

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”.

6/10
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”
M4M FIRMWARE UPDATE
8 /10
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
9/10
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.
