Arcom Controllers RC210 (M2561 CPU) firmware v7.60

Note: This firmware version requires RCP 7.60 Fixed various issues with 7.39 The correct FirstTimeInitialize.bin is now included as part of firmware updates Changed the baud rate of serial communications from 9600 baud to 57600 baud.

This drastically decreases the upload and download times using RCP.

If you have Version 3.5 (or later) pc board, there are now 15 additional Command Macros immediately available for a total of 105.

The breakdown of all Macros is as follows: Macro 1 - 40 - "Long Macros" that can hold 15 Functions each Macro 41 - 90 - "Short Macros" that can hold 6 Functions each Macro 91 - 105 - "Extended Macros" that can hold 20 Functions each The Firmware (and RCP) will automatically dete​ct if you have the additional EEPROM installed.

If you don't have the additional EEPROM installed, you will not have access to the additional Macros If you have a pc board earlier than Version 3.5, you can add the additional EEPROM needed by visiting the Arcom Website Store, where an option board is available.

Here is the link http://arcomcontrollers.com/index.php/shop/product/42-eeb-external-eeprom-board Macro programming has changed.

The new format is:

• 4002 * etc........
• 2050 xxx yyyyyyyy where xxx is the 3 digit Macro number (001-105) and yyyyyyyy is the DTMF code up to 8 digits Macro Functions no longer are entered as 3 digit numbers. For example, you can now enter 1 for Macro Function 1, 23 for Macro Function 23 and so on Added capability to define a Courtesy Tone to report signal strength if RSSI hardware connection to Analog Meter Channel 6,7 or 8 (P1, P2 or P3) is made
• 2130x yyy..... where x = 1 or 2 for Low and High level trippoints and yyy... is the level you wish to program on the currently unlocked Port.

Low = CW "W" Mid = CW "M" High = CW "H" Program appropriate A/D Channel for "Percent" and a scale of 0 to 100 (with your actual RSSI voltage values).

Reworked the DST Routines to make them easier to use without requiring any Scheduler Setpoints (Macro Functions 690 & 691 have been superceded by this new method and no longer exist) New Commands:

• 2131x yy z where x = 1 is to program the START month and 0 is to program the END month yy is the month (01-12) and must be 2 digits and z is the occurrence of Sunday in that month (1 – 5).

DST may be disabled by programming the START month to 0, i.e. *213110

• 2132x where x = 1 for DST Hour to start/end at 1 AM or 2 for 2 AM.
• 2133x where x = 1 to set DST Flag, 2 to unset DST Flag and 2 to interrogate the current state of the DSTFlag Fixed bug in DVR recording where time stopped at 100 seconds if doing continuous recording. Please note that this fix will require re-recording of your DVR Tracks By default, you will find the actual firmware file (rc2107_42.bin) in C:\Arcom\FirmwareUpdates You can also find an updated copy of the RC210 Operations & Programming Manual there as well Reworked the TX Timer and Counter routines. You may need to reset both after installation if you display bogus data.

Fixed bug where TX would sometimes drop between messages if called from Macro Added capability to readback amount of time on per Port basis New commands:

• 2125x - Selects whether to store and readback amount of time currently unlocked Port's transmitter has been active where x = 0 for minutes and x = 1 for hours
• 212699 - Readback currently unlocked Port amount of time transmitter has been active since last reset
• 212799 - Reset currently unlocked​ Port Transmitter Activity Timer to 0 Added capability to readback number of keyups on per Port basis New commands:
• 212899 - Readback currently unlocked Port Keyup Counter
• 212999 - Reset currently unlocked Port Keyup Counter to 0 You should reset the Timer and Counter to zero when you first load this new firmware New Macro Functions 554 Port 1 Amount of time transmitter has been active since last reset 555 Port 2 Amount of time transmitter has been active since last reset 556 Port 3 Amount of time transmitter has been active since last reset 557 - Reset Port 1 Transmitter Activity Timer to 0 558 - Reset Port 1 Transmitter Activity Timer to 0 559 - Reset Port 1 Transmitter Activity Timer to 0 560 - Give RSSI Report 562 - Readback Number of Keyups Port 1 563 - Readback Number of Keyups Port 2 564 - Readback Number of Keyups Port 3 565 = Reset Keyup Counter Port 1 566 = Reset Keyup Counter Port 2 567 = Reset Keyup Counter Port 3
