Modicon Quantum Processors

Unity Operating Systems Compatibility Rules

This document concerns Operating Systems compatibility, exceptions and recommendations for native Unity Pro Processors.
Please refer to the “What’s New” documentation in Unity Pro for information about compatibility between Operating System versions,
application program versions and Unity Pro versions.

Definitions
Copro = Coprocessor: embedded Ethernet port.
PV = Product Version: the PV increases by one digit when a functional change is made in an Operating System, in a Copro or in a
Hardware part.
SV = Software Version: the version of the Operating System (OS) delivered with the Processor module.

Compatibility Rules & Recommendations

1. Processor Operating Systems are upward compatible: updating a processor with a higher Operating System version is always allowed.
2. It is recommended to always upgrade the OS version of a processor with the latest available version.
3. It is recommended that the Copro version is associated with the OS version indicated in the Quantum – Launch History table below
(mandatory for HotStandby Systems).
4. It is mandatory to upgrade the Ethernet Coprocessor before the Processor OS.
5. It is not recommended to downgrade the OS of a Processor:

Attention
Do not download an OS version V2.31 or lower in the Minimum version required to update Quantum from Concept to
processors listed below. Otherwise, it will no longer be Unity:
possible to change the OS version: Quantum PV
Quantum PV
140CPU43412A >=04
140CPU65150 >= 15
140CPU53414A >=04
140CPU65150C >= 15
140CPU65160 >= 15 CPUs with PV < 04 include RAM Memory chip whose characteristics
140CPU65160C >= 15 are not totally adapted to the Unity program execution.
According to the used memory size, these CPUs can work in Unity
140CPU67160 >= 13 range but can also present defects in case of Online changes,
140CPU67160C >= 13 configuration changes or programs size increase.
140CPU67160C >= 13 The consequences that can have are:
- No start of the CPU
- Some modules are not working in the configuration.

Quantum HotStandby
A Unity Quantum Hot Standby system must have strictly identical configurations for both PLCs:
• Same Copro version
• Same Operating System (also called EXEC) version.

Notes:
• It is possible to upgrade the CPU (OS and Copro) of a Quantum HSBY configuration with a higher version without stopping the system.
• The new Ethernet I/O offer is totally compatible with HSBy features

Please refer to the “Modicon Quantum Hot Standby System User Manual” for complete information and recommendations.
Also, please refer to the online documentation in Unity Pro to check the executable compatibility (and the exceptions) of an application program
with the Operating System version.

Limitations on the online upgrade procedure

• For the Operating System, it is not recommended to upgrade an OS Version V2.xx to version V2.40 or V2.41.
• For the Coprocessor, it is not recommended to upgrade a Copro version V0.80 to version V2.50.
• It is strongly recommended to use the latest versions of OS V3.0 and the Copro V3.0.

Change Configuration On The Fly functionality (CCOTF)

Version 3.0 supports CCOTF features on Ethernet Remote IO.
It requires a UnityPro Application built with UnityPro V6.0.

CCOTF features on S908 Remote IO system requires 140CRP93x00 and 140CRA93x00 firmware version V2.0, available under “RIO_modules”
folder in this eCD. To upgrade CRA / CRP modules please refer to the Quantum_Upgrade_Procedure document available on this eCD.

140 NOE 771 11 Upgrade
Due to hardware changes (ROHS compliance), two different firmware files are delivered for the 140 NOE 771 11 module, depending on
the PV version.
Use the appropriate file to upgrade the 140 NOE 771 11 module:

NOE Module PV File Name

140 NOE 771 11 >= 10 140NOE77111_V500.BIN
140 NOE 771 11 <= 9 140NOE77111_INF_OR_EQ_PV09_V500.BIN
