I'm trying to change one siwarex to different one (the same catalog number, but different firmware version - old is 0115, new is 0121). After I do that - there's no communication between siwarex and CPU (last values of data record are those from old siwarex and stay "frozen"). I thought the firmware might be too old, so I tried to load firmware version 0126, but when I do that, SIWALOAD says "CONNECT PC WITH SIWAREX MODULE". I think I'm doing it right: connect to COM, set 2nd dip switch to ON, reset power and ENTER. What can be the solution of my problem?

Switch off the ET200M station 2. Switch off that Siwarex M module where you have the communication problems 3. Switch on the Siwarex M module and wait a few seconds until the Siwarex M module is ready (The LEDs on the Siwarex M module aren’t no longer flashing) 4. Switch on the ET200M station B: The Siwaload software needs the operating systems Windows 95 or Windows 98. Windows XP or higher doesn’t work. Best regards Siwarexi
