Software and firmware updates for WATTrouter M

USB interface driver

https://ftdichip.com/drivers/vcp-drivers/

Note: Please in case of communication problems always upgrade this driver to the newest version!

Regulator firmware and software WATTconfig M

The WATTconfig software runs on Windows 7 and later, Ubuntu 16.04 and later, OS X 10.11 El Capitan and later. However, it may work in other OS versions or other Linux distributions.

Since version 3.0 we provide only 64-bit versions of WATTconfig software, up to version 2.5 they are 32-bit. The main reason for this change was MacOS Catalina, which dropped 32-bit support entirely. That's why we decided to move to 64-bit everywhere.

Please always update BOTH software and firmware for your device!

Newest version (June 2023):
Added: Sunset today at (Other status info).
Added: Time schedule improvements (Time schedules tab).
Added: Added configurable PWM level for the Minimum power field (Output settings tab).
Added: MODBUS protocol (TCP on Ethernet line).
Added: Ukrainian language to the web interface (now possible because of the web interface optimization).
Modified: Optimized web interface for shorter loading time and smaller FLASH footprint. Most images were replaced by CSS styles or SVG drawings.
Modified: Optimized output control because of the new time schedule improvements, also fixed few bugs.
Fixed: Maximum power applied incorrectly in PWM output mode (4.0 only bug).
Fixed: The power field in enforced time schedule did not work correctly for PWM mode with nonzero minimum power (4.0 only bug).
Fixed: Power inputs assigned to online chart have incorrect sign in some cases (4.0 only bug).
Fixed: Outputs can be switched remotely if local error is present (4.0 only bug).
Fixed: Glitch when switching SSRs with proportional control (4.0 only bug).
Fixed: The inconsistency of the minimum writable value in the item 'Maximum power'.
Fixed: The automatic time synchronization with time server did not work.
Fixed: The Energy counters in FB input status were incorrectly cleared to zero after device reset and first configuration write.
