connected to PCD3.Mxxx or PCD2.M480 PLC's over Profi S-Bus, the terminal loses the communication after some time and get even frozen. This problem is corrected in the new boot, FW and driver. The PCD8.D81 V 5.09 is needed , the attached files have to be copied in it (see procedure below). It is also necessary to update the PCD3.Mxxx and PCD2.M480 FW with the version PCD3.Mxxx_023.blk / PCD2.M480_$27 or [...] 01 0271 0022 fexible cable Note: If the bautrates isn't greater than 187,5 bautes (for ex. Profi S-Bus with PCD3.M3xx / PCD7.D7xx) you can use other more advantegeous cable, especially
In July 2012 the firmware 1.16.69 was introduced into production for the systems PCD1.M2xx0, PCD2.M5xx0, PCD3.Mxxx0 and PCD3.Mxx60. This FAQ lists the main differences between this firmware and the version 1.14.23 (and 1.16.69).
For BCU1 protocol not all communication interfaces of a PCD3 or a PCD2.M5540 can be used. On the other hand there is no problem using the newer FT1.2 protocol which is supported by all RS232 interfaces of the PCD3 and the PCD2.M5540.
The information provided in the history or the "Diagnostic file" of the PCD does not always give enough information for the firmware developpers to find the reason for e.g. a crash of a PCD. If more information is required in order to trace back a crash, a dump of the whole memory (SRAM, DRAM and FLASH) of a PCD can be done. This FAQ does apply to PCD1.M2, PCD2.M480, PCD2.M5xxx, PCD2.M45x0, PCD3 (including PCD3.Mxx60) and PCD7.D4xxxT5F (Programable MB-panels).
The PCD3 Compact (PCD3.M2xxx) is available in the Network configurator from PG5 2.0 but not in the one from PG5 1.4 300.
Yes, there are PCDs that support the transmission of EMails over an SMTP server if they are equipped with Ethernet interface. The PCD types that support this feature are: - PCD1.M1x5, PCD2.M150, PCD2.M170 and the PCD4.M170 equipped with PCD7.F650 or PCD7.F655. - PCD1.Mxxx0, PCD2.M5xx0, PCD3.Mxxx and PCD7.D4xxxT5F (with Ethernet option).
