Hi,
I am using a TM172PDG18R (PLC) in conjunction with an IO expansion (TM172E28R) and a unipolar stepper driver (TM172EVEV1U).
I'd like to be able to log both the BIOS and serial number of all them via a single connection to the PLC. The stepper driver has the serial number listed in parameters, but not the BIOS. The expansion module has neither, likewise with the PLC.
How can I get access and read these parameters?
I am using EcoStruxure v1.5.0.
Cheers.

Hello,
unfortunately these info are not available.
You can only read them with ESME HVAC using a DMI connection (USB-ttl converter used to program M171O).
The FW of the I/O expansion is quite stable, I don't remember the last update.
