It is possible to try connecting to a controller not listed above. Serial 
interface has been designed to avoid failures to the target controller 
circuits. It is always possible that incompatibility towards some controller 
may arise,  causing a systematic “NO COMMUNICATION” error. In majority 
of cases this will happen in presence of a “custom” serial protocol. Contact 
Zapi for support.  

2.5  Update of SMART Console firmware 

The firmware installed in the Smart Console can be modified if needed. There are 
many reasons behind the need to update the firmware: 

 

Zapi has delivered a new firmware adding new functions to the Smart 
Console  

 

Zapi has delivered  a new firmware which removes bugs present in previous 
versions 

 

A special firmware has been developed for a specific application/customer 

 
See 4.3.3 too. 
 

U

 

Firmware update is a procedure which must be carried out under 
assistance of a Zapi technician.
