REV 7.5.1 / PL-INSTL-TREECOM-EN

10. Firmware compatibility

The PL-TREE-COM is designed to work with same generation products (v.7.5.0 or later), but can be retrofitted into existing systems,

provided that the controllers using TREE-COM modules are compatible. This is especially important with Modbus ''Master'' devices,

that must comply with the TREE-COM's specific communication caracteristics.

10a) When a PL-NC2000 is present, it must have firmware version 7.5.0 or later to support TREE-COM communication.

10b) Any Digital wall sensor (T200/T500/T1000) connected to a TREE-COM must have firmware version 7.5.0 or later to support

TREE-COM communication.

10c) Other Modbus Master controllers (RTU, HP, etc.) using older firmware may still work properly with TREE-COM modules. It is

strongly recommended however to update them for best communication performance

10d) Follower controllers are not affected by firmware version, all are compatible with the TREE-COM.
