Drive runtime to use for ctrlX CORE 1.20 and 1.12

[Tasty_Tech]

Thank you for the reply.

Could you please help me? I am using CtrlX driveplus and have updated the firmware and the apps in the core to 1.20 due to which I am getting firmware inconsistant on the drive, I saw on the firmware compatability table in the drive data sheet that I would need AXS-V-0316 firmware, from the release 23.07 I got to know that I would need AXS-V-0402, I couldn't find the firmware in the collaboration room?

Currently I am running AXS-V-0314 on the drive and using gen 2 drives. I just have to check if I have double shield cables right, if not then do you recommend me to downgrade the core and also the apps?

Thank you in advance

Moved to own topic from this one.

Publishing of the drive runtime 04Vxx is in work right now. Please get in direct contact with your sales or sales support person.

For best performance/stability on your application we recommend to use:

• ctrlX CORE version 1.12 with ctrlX DRIVE runtime 03V08 with single shielded cable
• ctrlX CORE version 1.20 with ctrlX DRIVE runtime 04V02 with double shielded cable

Hi.

Is the Drive firmware 04V02 best for Core Runtime 1.20.5 also?
I saw that there was firmware 04V04 also released.

Please use versions like mentioned above.

Drive runtime 4V04 is related to ctrlX CORE system version 2.02.
