- Manager Software: Install new version V3.1.1
- Download New Manager Software / Update Manual
Important Precautions
Please read the following precautions for a safe and smooth update.
- Equipment Testing Mandatory: If the firmware of an actuator applied to existing equipment has been updated, you must perform an equipment test again to ensure there are no problems with the operation characteristics.
- Correct Model Selection: You must install the firmware that matches the model name of the actuator you own. If you accidentally installed a different firmware, you can proceed with the update again with the correct firmware.
- Individual Updates: Actuators must be updated one by one. Updating multiple units at the same time may cause errors.
- Check Connection Cables: Do not touch the communication and power lines between the PC, interface, and actuator during the update. If a communication error occurs, please refer to the manual and retry.
- Change in Calibration Procedure: In versions V2.0 or higher, the
Stroke Calibrationprocedure is skipped after the update is complete.
