Software ID
MicroTech RMC controller software is factory installed and tested in each panel prior to shipment.
The software is identified by a program code (also referred to as the “Ident”), which is printed on a
small label affixed to the MCB. The program code is also encoded in the controller’s memory and is
available for display on menu 16 of the keypad/display or a PC equipped with MicroTech Monitor™
software. (Information on using the keypad/display is included in the “Getting Started” portion of
this manual.) Using menu 16 or Monitor software is the most reliable way of determining the
controller’s program code.
RMC controller program codification is as follows:
RMC Panel
English units
Version (numeric)
Version revision (zero then alphabetical)
RMC-E01A
If the RMC Panel’s program code does not match the format shown above, it is likely that a special
program has been loaded into the controller. In this case, some of the information in this manual
may not be applicable.
Software Compatibility
At the time of this writing, the program code for RMC Panel software is RMC-E01A. In its default
configuration, this software is not compatible with some earlier versions of MicroTech applied
rooftop and SCAC controller software. The current software compatibility for the default
configuration is summarized in Table 3. The wildcard character (
[
) can be zero or any letter.
If you want to use an RMC Panel with older units that have incompatible software, the unit
controller software must be upgraded. However, there is one exception: If the units are older applied
rooftop units that have incompatible software and they do not need the RMC Panel’s common duct
static pressure control feature, you can either (1) upgrade the unit controller software or (2) set the
RMC controller’s Configuration parameter to “ALL RTU.” Note that when the Configuration
parameter is set to “ALL RTU,” the RMC controller’s software will become compatible with all
applied rooftop software and incompatible with all SCAC software. See the “RMC and Unit
Controller Setup” section of this manual for information on how to change the software
configuration.
If you have a version of applied rooftop or SCAC software that is later than the compatible
programs shown in Table 3, it is likely that program RMC-E01A is compatible with it; however, it
may not be. To find out for sure, contact McQuayService.
