As I said, the update aborts via VRM if you select the wrong file.  
At least, that’s what happened in my test, where I deliberately selected the wrong file.  
So, basically, nothing can go wrong.

Unfortunately, I couldn’t test a scenario like yours, as I only had US2000C/3000C units with the same board available.

So I can’t say for certain whether the master forwards the “wrong” file to the corresponding module or simply stops with an error.

So a combination of US3000 and US2000 is a little bit irrelevant, because are using the same hardware and only the Coulomb info is different. Interesting would be a combination of US5000 and US3000/US2000, because it may be possible that if the FW is for US5000, only the US5000 (usually the master) to update and if the FW is for US3000/US2000, the master to pass it downwards and only US3000/US2000 to update.

I might ask our former Pylontech supplier whether they have the possibility to test this.
