Software Versions
Compatibility
From Version 4.0.2.2 onwards, all Lawo products have adopted a consistent software release numbering system
to indicate compatibility. This affects system
networking , mxGUI and AdminHD . In each case, the first three
digits of the software version must match.
Checking the Software Version
You can check the software version of your mc
2
system from the Global Options in the System Settings display.
Software Updates
Please register at www.lawo.com (click on Login ) and go to the Download-Center to download the latest
software and documentation for your product.
Information about each software release can be found in the "Release_Notes_X.xx".
From Version 5.8.2, the mxUpdater utility (included with mxGUI) can be used to update the system from an
mxGUI computer.
Once running Version 5.8 (or later), there can be a mismatch in your configuration if you install an earlier
release than 5.8. Therefore, please contact the Lawo service department if you wish to downgrade your
software version to a release < Version 5.8.
Changing Firmware Revisions
From Version 5.6, all Nova73 IO modules will automatically update to the required firmware (according to their
AdminHD configuration) once they are plugged into the Nova73 frame. This makes it easier than ever to
reconfigure a system, and prevents any mismatch between Control System and IO software revisions.
