AcraDyne Gen IV ACE Controller Firmware
NOTE: Always save PSet and IP address information before upgrading the
controller.
Upgrading to the AcraDyne Gen IV ACE Controller platform is simple and easy to
perform. AcraDyne continually works to improve the product and add new
features as requested by our customers. These improvements get transferred to
controllers in the field using upgrades.
The chart below shows the history of Application Software and Firmware of the
Gen IV platform. It is recommended to upgrade the Application and Firmware
from the past year’s final release until the most current Application and
Firmware is reached. For example, if your controller currently has 3R15,
Application 1.11, and Firmware 1.06, you would first upgrade to 5R15B2 and
then upgrade to 3R16B7, continuing with the final release of each year until
the most current version available on AIMCO’s website.
AcraDyne identifies the Upgrade files under a term known as SYSREL. SYSREL
stands for System Release and carries an identifier that clearly denotes the
year of its release. For example, 1R17 would denote 1R = 1 release of a given
year, 17 = Year of the release, and B1 = The first edit to the release.
