About us
Overview
The firmware level, selected in Control Expert, defines the functionality of the Hot Standby CPU processor. There are major updates with new functions and minor releases with bug fixes.
If an application has a major firmware change in Control Expert, the application must be completely rebuilt. Minor release changes do not require a rebuild.
