Note that releases of Meter Template files often do not keep pace with firmware releases so do not be concerned if the firmware version number in the label of latest available template file is not as high as the version number of the firmware file. The main thing is to get the latest available file for each of firmware and template. ION Setup (freeware utility) is the recommended tool for the firmware upgrade process. See the Upgrading ION Device Firmware technical note for complete details. Important Notes =============== * Generally, two versions of firmware are available for the ION7x50 devices: VXXXe with IEC 61850 implementation, and; VXXXs without IEC 61850 implementation. * IEC61850 is supported with the consequence of a reduction of the available logging memory. If you upgrade a 10MB meter to use IEC 61850 firmware, the meter’s logging memory will be reduced to 5MB. If the meter is subsequently loaded with non-IEC 61850 firmware, the meter’s original logging memory will be restored.
