What is the difference between software versions?

There are critical differences between the various major XL200 Series controller software versions. It is important to know which software version you are using when seeking technical support.

Typically, software development occurs in cycles. Each cycle ends in a major release. When a specific need arises, such as a customer who has an immediate need for a new feature or bug fix, the software has an interim – or maintenance – release.

The software version number for a XL200 Series controller is typically represented as “4.09.02”. The first number (4) reflects the hardware platform on which the software was written to run. The next number (09) represents a “major release” version, indicating the software engineers consider this version to be significantly different from previous releases. The last number (02) references a “maintenance release”.
