2.2.2 Possible upgrade problems and version dependencies
1. The SDLR firmware can only be updated if an Automation Panel with Automation Panel Link
Transceiver (5DLSDL.1000-01) and Automation Panel Link Receiver (5DLSDL.1000-00) is
connected. This update is only permitted in an office environment (clean environment - no
disturbances) because a software error in versions older than V0.03 can cause errors. This error
can cause the Automation Panel to remain off after an update. If this error occurs, the
Automation Panel Link Transceiver (5DLSDL.1000-01) or Automation Panel Link Receiver
(5DLSDL.1000-00) must be exchanged or sent in for repair.
2. Daisy Chain operation of 2 Automation Panel 900 units is supported starting with SDLR
version V00.08 or V01.01 and MTCX PX32 V01.33 and MTCX FPGA V01.11 (contents of the
MTCX upgrade disk V01.04).
3. Operation of an SDLT adapter in the AP Link slot is supported starting with MTCX PX32
V01.50 and MTCX FPGA V01.12 (contents of the MTCX upgrade disk V01.07).
4. When using a functional SDL connection with an installed SDLR version V00.03 or lower, the
SDLR must first be updated to version V00.05 or higher. Only then can the MTCX PX32 and
FPGA be updated. If the MTCX PX32 and FPGA is updated first, then the SDLR FW can no
longer be updated.
5. Starting with SDLR version V00.05 or V01.01, the MTCX PX32 must be higher than or equal
to V01.23 and the MTCX FPGA must higher than or equal to V01.09. Otherwise, full SDL
functionality is not possible.
6. SDL with equalizer is first supported starting with SDLR version V01.04 and MTCX PX32
version V01.55 and MTCX FPGA version V01.15. An SDLT with version V00.02 is required on
the AP Link slot (contents of the MTCX upgrade disk V01.10). SDL with equalizer allows longer
distances (max. 40m) depending on the AP being used. Detailed information for this can be
found in the APC620 or PPC700 user's manual.
7. Automation Panel Link transceivers (5DLSDL.1000-01) or Automation Panel Link receivers
(5DLSDL.1000-00) with a Firmware version lower than or equal to V00.10 can no longer be
combined with Automation Panel Link transceivers (5DLSDL.1000-01) or Automation Panel Link
receivers (5DLSDL.1000-00) with a Firmware higher than or equal to V01.04. Daisy Chain mode
is not possible with such a combination.
8. The menu items "2. Upgrade MTCX PX32 only" and "3. Upgrade MTCX FPGA only" have
been removed from the boat menu starting with MTCX Upgrade Disk V01.13.
9. The menu items "3. Upgrade SDLR on Monitor/Panel" and "4. Upgrade SDLR on AP Link Slot"
(starting with MTCX upgrade disk V01.13) for upgrading the Automation Panel 800 series have
been expanded.
10. The ID AP8H was changed to SDL8 (AP800 series).
11. The menu item "5. Upgrade add-on UPS (firmware and battery settings)", starting with MTCX
upgrade disk V01.16, has been inserted.
