EZ820-DC-RC Ver.8 vs 11?

(1/2) > >>

John_Ess:
I received 2 different versions of EZ820-DC-RC.
They came as Version:8 and 11 but none of them is explicitly shown in easySoft-Pro V.6.91 Device Number Selection.

Can somebody explain the differences between Versions 8 and 11?

Which easySoft-Pro model should I use when asked in Device Number Selection?

Thanks,
John

Maikky:
Dear John.

Let's start with your 2nd question.

The selectable versions in EasySoft are are always "version xx or higher",
therefore you may select
  - for hardware version 11 : all items
  - for hardware version 8 : all except "version 10 and higher"
 
Regarding the differences between hardware Version 8 and 11 I have no clue,
but the main differences between the selectable version 7 and 10 in EasySoft are
  - the format of the memory card/adaptor is changed,
  - the set-up for Easy209-SE extension is changed

At the function blocks and their parameters there is no difference.

John_Ess:
Thanks Maikky,

Can you expand on how "- the format of the memory card/adaptor is changed" ?

Maikky:
Dear John.

The expression "format" may be confusing.

The memory card stores the progarmm, the parameters of each function block and
general parameters like P-buttons used or  not etc.

If you for example write a card with a version 8 and put it into a version 11 the data
will definitely be transferred and the program will run.

If you write a card with version 11 and put it into version 7 it depends whether your
program uses any block or parameter unknown to version 8 or not.
In case there is any unkown part the data will not be transferred.

As far as I know there is no difference in function blocks and parameters between
EasySoft version 7 and 10 and therefore the lower version also is able to read the
higher version. To be on the safe side just generate the progarmm with EasySoft
Version 7 regardless whether the hardware version is 8 or 11.

Thanks Maikky for your excellent explanation!

Cheers,
John
