It is important and mandatory to update all 1st- and 2nd-generation core systems to their latest firmware versions, especially when those systems are using APC or GA core-to-core connections.
This is necessary for systems using the following cores in all their revisions:
- 52/XS: 52-1801, 52-1804
- 52/XS2: 52-1810, 52-1830
- 52/XC: 52-7400, 52-7402, 52-7403
- 52/XC2: 52-7420, 52-7423, 52-7424, 52-7410
- 52/XD: 52-7440, 52-7441, 52-7442, 52-7450
- 52/XD2: 52-7456
Latest versions are available at our support portal for all of the above systems:
- FW 7.4.41
- FW 8.1.52
- FW 8.2.19
- FW 9.0.23
- FW 9.1.14
- FW 9.2.20
In these updates we mainly address the following issues:
- Improved stability of APC Device Interlink or GA Device Interlink connections.
- We added a ‘Message 256’ notification and a port-state counter.
- Specific version-related improvements.
