Hybird breaker firmware can be updated remotely via the Edge Controller. This article covers how breaker firmware updates work.
How it works
Breaker firmware updates are pushed from Hybird OS to the Edge Controller, which then distributes the update to individual breakers over the RS485 bus. The process is managed by Hybird - no manual intervention is required in most cases.
Update process
Hybird OS sends the firmware image to the controller.
The controller pushes the update to each breaker individually over RS485.
Each breaker applies the update and restarts.
The controller verifies the new firmware version on each breaker.
During the update
Breakers are updated one at a time to minimise disruption. During an individual breaker's update (typically under a minute), that breaker may not report data or respond to switching commands. The breaker continues to provide circuit protection (overcurrent and/or earth leakage) throughout the update - only the communication and remote switching are briefly interrupted.
Batch updates
For sites with many breakers, updates are applied sequentially across all breakers. The total time depends on the number of breakers. The controller manages the sequence automatically.
Verification
After all breakers are updated, verify in Hybird OS that:
All breakers show the new firmware version.
All breakers are reporting measurements normally.
No breakers have dropped off the RS485 bus.
Troubleshooting
If a breaker fails to update or is unresponsive after an update:
Check the RS485 connection to that breaker.
Power-cycle the breaker if possible (switch off and back on at the panel).
Contact Hybird support if the breaker does not recover.
