10 Firmware Update
GBS Elektronik maintains the firmware of the MCA527 continually. We improve the
performance, add new features and fix bugs that have been known. In order that all
MCA527 users can participate in the improvements, we provide the newest releases of
the firmware on our download page in the internet.
The firmware of the MCA527 can be changed easily by yourself.
You only need the GBS Firmware Loader and the firmware file that suits to your MCA527.
Both can be download from our internet page.
There are different variants of the MCA527 (Full, Lite, OEM and Micro) with different
hardware versions. If you are unsure about the variant and the hardware version of your
MCA527, look for this information within the diagnostics dialog of, for example, WinSPEC.
When all preparations have been completed, start the GBS Firmware Loader. You will be
prompted to load a suitable loader file. After the file has been loaded, the button "Select
device ..." is enabled. Press this button to search for devices. If your MCA527 is within a
RS485 bus system, you have to input the RS485 address. The next dialog lists all
detected devices. If all working steps have been done correctly, your MCA527 should
appear within the list of the applicable devices. Select your MCA527 and start the
firmware upload. It is recommendable to check the "Verify uploaded firmware" option.
