Product Line
EcoStruxure Building Operation, EcoStruxure Building Advisor
Environment
- I/A Series MNB
- I/A Series WorkPlace Tech

Cause
MNB firmware is upgraded via the WorkPlaceTech Commissioning Tool independent of EBO, and EBO reports firmware to Building Advisor Portal for use in BMS Health Module. Example cases where controllers are upgraded after adding to EBO are:
- MNB controllers added with factory default firmware version
- MNB controllers transitioned into EBO with existing older firmware version
- MNB controller that was upgraded to the latest was replaced with MNB Controller at factory default firmware version
