5.Version V1.6.0

 

a.Release Details

The main target of this firmware version has been to integrate the AirNet II Particle Counter into the Firmware.

 

b.New Features

ID

Description

RMS-CONVERTER-2924

In case of a first operation and integration into RMS via Converter, or in case of short power interrupt, the particle counter Airnet II need to be reinitiated by a modbus order, that enables/re-enables the particle counter. For that reason, a new command ‘Write single coil’ with starting address and switching status IS implemented into the Modbus editor of the Converter. Every interval this order is sent out from the converter to the particle counter. The modbus order cannot be linked to any RMS function. It works independent between particle counter and converter.

 

6.Version V1.5.0

 

a.Release Details

The main target of this firmware version has been to correct existing bugs that can occur when an RMS-CONVERTER-100 and a HygroLog NT/HL-NT are integrated into a system.

Within the audit trail, the event "Probe replaced" appears without any probes being replaced.

Important due to the range of HygroLog and HL devices as well as the range of docking stations, Rotronic cannot fully guaranty that this bug is corrected for the entire range of products.

RMS-CONVERTER-2425

Data gaps by HL-NT devices (only data gaps on RMS, data is available on memory card).

RMS-CONVERTER-2575

When the probe on a HL-NT is disconnected, it shows probe replaced (SNxxx -> 0) in the audit trail, whereas a sensor error should appear.
