23.7 Firmware Upgrades
B&K Vibro recommends upgrading to the latest firmware during major shutdowns and maintenance
cycles.
VC-8000 modules can be easily upgraded to the latest firmware. Firmware upgrades are not
necessary unless you specifically require new functionality. Note that the VC-8000 UMM has over 45+
different channel types and the firmware is constantly being updated.
Firmware files are embedded in the VC-8000 Maintenance software. Download the latest software
before performing firmware updates.
Relays will transition to the de-energized state during a firmware upgrade.
23.7.1 View Current Firmware Revisions
Download the latest revision of the VC-8000 Maintenance software (MPS) from the B&K Vibro
website to correctly show the Available Revision ((last release) of the firmware. If you are using an
older version of the MPS software, you will not see what is currently available.
