If you have read and understood the above carefully(Compatibility issue for V20(or higher) firmware update), you can proceed with the firmware update by following the procedure below.

We are happy to release the updated Firmware for all mightyZAP actuators. (V21 for Position control lineup  and V2.1 for Force control lineup actuator)
On this page, you can update the firmware for the Position control L12 series 27mm stroke actuator. Please check the firmware version of your actuator on the Manager software, if it is V20 or lower, please update the firmware for performance improvement and some bug fix. (except for the old production above)

If your actuators already have V21 indication along with production lot number on the model plate sticker, you do not need update.

• IR-USB01(or IR-USB02) PC USB interface is required to update the firmware on the Manager software.
• Please install the new Manager software V3.1.1 optimized for the new firmware. [Download new manager software & update manual]
• Make sure to install the correct firmware that matches the model name of the actuator you have. When you download the update file, please pay attention to the model name.

Caution

• If the old firmware has been already applied to your existing equipment, be sure to test the new firmware with the equipment for verification. Although the actuator specifications are not to be changed through firmware update, the operating characteristics may be affected  depending on the characteristics of the equipment, so please be sure to test  the actuator with the new firmware in the equipment.
• Make sure to download correct model named firmware for your mightyZAP. Download the concerned firmware correctly according to your actuator model.
• Update single servo only. Do not update with multiple qty of servo motor under serial connection(daisy chain) at the same time.  Otherwise, it may occur some error.
• In case that incorrect firmware is installed, please process the update with correct firmware update file again.
• Before update, make sure if all wirings (communication wire, power wire) are properly connected between IR-USB01(or USB02) & actuator / between PC and IR-USB01(or USB02).  Then, please do not touch them while updating  as it may occur fatal communication error.  Please contact factory if communication or update error continues.
• Stroke calibration process will be automatically made after firmware update. So, before firmware update, make sure if actuator is standalone(should not be connected with any mechanical stuff of your application) for proper calibration.
