Please download from the link received the following files:

  • ‘MC_FW.ZIP’ - contains the firmware upgrade for softMC7 Multibus CODESYS
  • ‘softMC_1_0_0_1.compiled-library’
  • ‘Configurator_archive_0.4.16.7.bndl’
  • '‘SN_UAC.LIB’


Please follow the steps below:


Part 1:


1. Open ControlStudio.
2. Connect to softMC7.
3. please type in the terminal:

         ?sys.information
Check the ‘Maximum number of axes’.
Please send a picture of the information.

3. go to:

Tools -> Firmware Update -> choose the MC_FW.ZIP

4. During the Firmware Update the MC will reboot twice.
5. After the process ends, please check the new version by typing in the terminal: 

         ?sys.information

Now you should see (among rest):

  • Version number: 0.4.16.7
  • Features: CODESYS:0x61131

6. Please provide:

  • Hash number
  • Serial number
  • Maximum number of axes (from before the upgrade – after the upgrade it should be zero until installation of the UAC).

7. 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 softMC7.
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.

         ?sys.information


After that you can use CODESYS with softMC.

• When upgrade is finished, you can use the ControlStudio Configurator to create the XML file (device description file – ‘softMC7.devdesc.xml’). Please use the Configurator training guide in the website, don’t forget to check the ‘USE CODESYS’ tab. • In Codesys: Please install the ‘softMC_1_0_0_1.compiled-library’ into Tools -> Library Repository (one time installation). • In Codesys: Please install the device description file (created by the configurator - softMC.devdesc.xml) into Tools -> Device Repository (whenever you use a new XML).
