Transferring existing PLC Digital Modules with V13 software (or earlier) into units
with updated System PLC Logic (V17 software).
Transferring new PLC Digital Modules (V17 software) into existing units with previous
System PLC Logic revision, other than V17.
Loading any whole chassis configuration files not identified as V17 (-A17-) into units
with new V17 PLC Digital Modules.
Loading whole chassis configuration files with the new revision into units with existing
PLC Digital Modules (version V13 or earlier).
Identifying revision levels:
PLC Module software:
Through the web interface, Home > Power Line Carrier Module > General Status. The PLC Module
software version is listed on the right hand column, towards the bottom of the page.
System Logic:
Through the web interface. Go to the home page and from the drop-down menu select Help > About.
The revision of a System Logic or Whole Chassis Configuration file can be determined by its file
name. See the example below, taking note of the “17” identification after the revision letter.
Logic Filename: GARD3U175_00146_001_A17.EDN,.TXT,.DSN.PDF
Whole Chassis Configuration Filename: GARD3U175_00146_001_A17_C01.ZIP
When creating new Whole Chassis Configuration Files verify the version of the logic loaded into the
unit. If the unit has V17 System Logic installed then mark the filename with a V17 indication. This
file should only be loaded into units with V17 PLC Module software.
RFL will modify any logic designed for the previous PLC software version (V13) and earlier PLC
software to work with version 17. Please do not hesitate to contact RFL for technical support at 973-
334-3100 ext 226 or via e-mail at customerservice@rflelect.com
