Firmware 4.08

[Matthias]

new manual (programming guide) for firmware 4.08 is ready for download
firmware 4.08 and ProfiLuxControl will follow tomorrow

New in 4.08
- Digital inputs of the expansion card PLM-ADIN can be used
- New level control operation mode "return pump"
- Burn-in function also for DALI
- New socket functions "Thunderstorm" and "Digital input"
- Accuracy of the internal clock can be trimmed

Not yet :(

[Matthias]

we are still checking all functions

since many changes had been made (internally in the source code) to prepare 4.08 for the next step (5.00) the testing takes longer as expected

I hope we can upload the files today

[Matthias]

download here:

since the ProfiLux will be reset ti default settings during this update it is very important that sensor data and settings are saved before the update! After update just load these files back.

Important: 4.08 has Beta-state! Bugs can't be excluded!

[Matthias]

and here the same hint like always:

before installation of ProfiLuxControl 4.08 first uninstall the old version completely!

installation and uninstallation under same user with admin rights!

I finally got the 4.08 on the profilux!!

It seems the my redox value is not in the redox 1 control box.

it is in the sensor overview..

EDIT:

all boxes are missing the current sensor information... Temp, Redox, Mv and Ph
i think its in the profiluxcontrol 4.08 and not in the firmware

[Martin_S]

I got some strange read out in the System tab

Property - Valvue

see reaction time vs Redox ?

again i think its the profiluxcontrol as i been back to frimware 4.05 to see it that was the problem

[Martin_S]

as u figured out by now ..ive been bussy settting my profilux with 4.08 profilux control and 4.08 firmware.

without some screen issues in profiluxcontol. it seems i found another issue.

It seems that my sockets function for redox doen not read the value of the redox.

its not reacting on any value..

Its either Redox1 Decrease or increase an invert that..

i tryed all combinations and i want the socket to go on at Redox -200.

but it does not do that..

what i invert it .. it will stay on.. even to -150 while Hysteris is 10 .
so i stoped it manual

[Matthias]

to the names in the system dialog: it seems some of the strings lost their correct location
-> this doesn't affect any function of the ProfiLux - please ignore it for now, we will fix the strings in the next version

redox control does not work - I saw on your screenshot that the sensor is not activated -> so it is no wonder that the control loop is not working -> activate the sensor

Matthias... that screenshot was while i was testing all possibilities..

EDIT..

MY stupidity..... need to put in a - value... and not just 200 ( -200 )

It works now..... ( stupid stupid me )

[Martin_S]

this time i think i REALY found a small bug

its the reminders function

i cant set equal amount of characters in the boxes

[Matthias]

we will check this

[berden]

Hi,
i think i found another little bug

in the screen of prob, the current temperature and the current ph box is empty,

[Matthias]

yes, I know, will also be changed

[wesheltonj]

Is 4.08 still Beta?

Will the upgrade kit have the firmware installed on the board already?

[Matthias]

no, it is now release version, bugs have been fixed

trying to load my previous sensor data from version 4.05 and keep getting an error message midway!!
"error during transmition of"code SENSORPARA4ITEMO" (parameter number 90)
I click ignore and it keeps happening again!!
Whats going on getting ********** the old firmware updates were easier....

[Crazy35111]

When trying to upgrade the firmware, It failed. I downloaded the flasher, but have idea what I need to do to set it up to run...Any suggestions??

just ignore it several times, all other settings will be transmitted correctly

the reason for this behaviour: 4.08 has new settings compared to older versions, so the parameter files could not be kept 100% compatible

extract the zipped files to a new directory, then execute "Flash.exe" there (no installation needed!), the rest is explained in our instructions

[Crazy35111]

I got the files all extracted, and when I went to run the flash.exe file, i was getting a transfer error. I also could not find your instructions, can you point me to them.
thanks

[Matthias]

the instructions can be found at the last pages of the manual, e.g. this here:

The link is no more good, it is possible to have the new one?

I want to help a friend with a PII.

Best regards
