- UL and DL commands previously used to disable status reports on UCM until log in This prevented commands from being reported in Monitor I/O after upload/download
- UCM reports CT and C? Counter with 2 bytes counter value eg CT013412 means counter 1 has value 1234H
- C! Command accepts 2 bytes counter value eg C!103412 means set Counter 16 to value 1234H
- When firmware upgrade of UCM by RS485 bus fails, a scan u? Will report version 7.000 instead of 6.000 so that the UCM can still be upgraded by Bus. UCM Firmware 6 cannot be upgraded by Bus
This firmware upgrade is important due to the last point above. UCM firmware version 7can be upgraded by Bus as well as by direct connection (by USB, ETH02 or RS232). When the upgrade by Bus fails for any reason (except for lost ethernet connection), it should be possible to repeat the upgrade by Bus. However, for older UCM firmware versions the UCM which failed upgrade wiill report as version 6.000, so Comfigurator will not allow the repeat of firmware upgrade because only firmware version 7 can be upgraded. The new firmware 7.016 will report its firmware as 7.000 instead of 6.000 so the upgrade can be repeated.
This same issue applies to KT03 firmware which can be upgraded by Bus. There is a new Firmware KT 7.016 which fixes this potential problem
