Please contact SERVOTRONIX in order to get the following files:
- ‘mc-0.4.17.4-C2-MULTIBUS-x86-CODESYS_With_WebVisu.ipk’ - contains the firmware upgrade for softMC Multibus CODESYS
- ‘codesys_drivers_2.ipk’
- ‘softMC_1_0_0_1.compiled-library’
- ‘Configurator_archive_0.4.17.4.bndl’
- ‘SN_UAC.LIB’
Please follow the steps below:
Part 1:
1. Open ControlStudio.
2. Connect to softMC.

- Hash number
- Serial number
- Maximum number of axes (from before the upgrade – after the upgrade it should be zero until installation of the UAC).
10. Once you provide these details, you will receive UAC (User Authorization Code) and further instructions.
Part 2 (When UAC is provided):
1. Open ControlStudio.
2. Connect to softMC.
3. Send SN_UAC.LIB to softMC by dragging it into File Manager.
4.
Loadglobal SN_UAC.LIB
5. Use the following function ‘?Set_SN_UAC_Files(byval SN_str as string, byval UAC_str as string)' :
?Set_SN_UAC_Files(“your serial number”, “your UAC”)
5. Reboot the machine.
6. Check sys.information to see maximum number of axes.
