Firmware
The MC404-Z comes pre-installed with the firmware version which was released to
production at the time of manufacture. Newer versions may be available to download from
the Trio website and it is recommended to check if an update is available before using the
Motion Coordinator for an application.
New firmware can be installed using Motion Perfect. Click the Controller menu and select
Load Firmware
….
The firmware file must be extracted from the zip folder before it can be
used. Firmware file names start MC404Z_ and have the extension .out. Do not attempt to
load firmware designed for a different Motion Coordinator type.
Firmware recovery
Firmware can be re-installed without using Motion Perfect by adding the firmware file to a
micro SD card so that the MC404-Z will automatically re-load the firmware at power-on.
Format the micro SD card to FAT 32, rename the firmware file to r_406.out and copy the file
on to the SD card. Insert the card into the slot on the Motion Coordinator and power up.
The Red LED will flash during the firmware loading process. When the Red LED becomes
steady it will be possible to re-connect to the MC404-Z via Ethernet.
All applications programs will be deleted when the new firmware is installed
