What does the software version number mean?
Software versions are expressed as 3 sets of numbers separated by “points” (.). The first number refers
to the major software version and often ties the version to a specific hardware revision. The second
number is a major release version. Every so often, the Engineering Department at AMS generates a “new
release” that includes any new developments, features, functions and bug fixes since the last release.
The last number is a maintenance release version, usually created in situations where a customer is
experiencing a serious bug that affects production, or has paid for a new feature that they desire
immediately.

XL200 Series Software Flashing Procedure
Before attempting to flash a XL200 Series machine controller, users must contact AMS Controls for the
appropriate flash file. The Flash Wizard software will usually be included in what is sent, or it can be
downloaded from the AMS Controls website
.
In order to create a flash file, AMS Technical Support Specialists must know the hardware version,
current software model, desired software model, software version, and serial number of the controller
to be flashed. Often, the Specialist can find most of this information with only the serial number of the
controller, assuming adequate records have been kept and updated.
