[4.7.3]

Features

Download

[4.7.2]

Features

  • PWM5/6 track control support. (286)
  • PWM1-4 changeable filter constant support. It is now possible to tweak the PWM filter constant for PWM1-4. This affects how quickly the current of the signal can change. This can be useful when configuring 24V feeder valves, but the depending on the characteristics of the valve in question it might not be enough to ensure satisfactory performance. Warning: This change is not backwards compatible with machines configured to use "SLOW" mode on PWM3 and/or PWM4 through custom parameter files, they have to be reconfigured using MicroConf to work properly if the CM is updated to v4.7.2 or later. Setting the filter constant to 13 on the PWM signals which were configured to use "SLOW" mode should result in the same valve behaviour as before updating the firmware for the CM. (2779)

Features

  • Make it possible for users to search an online repository for official engcon parameter files. If an installation has an official parameter file available, this will be mentioned in the provided manual alongside instructions for how the feature is used. (2949)
Download

[4.5.0]

Improvements

  • Adjustable value for "Tool lock feeder max". This helps adjusting tool lock sensitivity when mapping tool lock to a NO/NC-button or when using QSC for tool lock.
  • Firmware update other engcon modules through DC2 cabin module. It is now possible to firmware update modules such as CAN2CAN (ePS) and QSC with MSU (Microprop Software Updater) via USB cable to DC2 cabin module, you need MSU version 2.5 or higher and firmware version 4.5.0 or higher on DC2 cabin module.
  • Downgrade DC2 cabin/tilt modules with older firmware without installing older versions of microconf. It is only possible to upload firmware 3.6.0, 4.4.1 and the latest version, we strongly recommend using the latest version of the firmware.

Fixes

  • "Feed Swap" moved button select option from Feeder swap menu to input mapping to avoid dual function on same buttons.
  • 32-bit Windows support, version 4.4.2 and 4.4.4 only had 64-bit support for Java on Windows but now we support both 32- and 64-bit version of Windows.
  • Fixed GUI scale problems in MicroConf, this will solve the problem if you didn't see all functions and parameters in MicroConf GUI using a high resolution screen(s).
