How to get the firmware version of a M580 CPU (BMEx58x0x0 or BMEx58x0x0S) ?
If the firmware has never been updated since it has been manufactured, the SV marked on the product shows the firmware release set inside the module.
Otherwise, there are several methods for getting the firmware release of a M580 CPU :
1 : By connecting Control-Expert to the CPU :
Or
b : Select the package (*.ldx file or *.eadp) available in the "Data Package" folder :
c : Click on the icon to enter the Firmware password and click on Connect => the firmware version of the device appears in the box (in this example, 3.20)
Note : For firmware version higher than 4.01, cybersecure mode will add some additional constraint which could differs from the steps described above (but still unknown at the creation of this FAQ)

3 : By using EADM (EcoStruxure Automation Device Maintenance) tool :
a : Connect the tool with the device selecting :
- "FTP" or "USB" connection (for firmware <=3.20) (FTP service should be enabled inside the embedded application)
- "HTTPS" (for firmware >=4.01) (HTTP service should be enabled inside the embedded application)
b : Select the package (*.ldx file or *.eadp) available in the "Data Package" folder :
c : Click on the icon to enter the Firmware password and click on Connect => the firmware version of the device appears in the box (in this example, 3.20)
