No LINK project is compatible with DSELite or DSE890. DSD is required to view LINK project files -- Only IF you already have a copy of the project file. DSD is no longer supported.

This includes, but is not limited to, the 620L, 590L, and LINK accessory options implemented into mature 590+/690+/890 drives.

Understand the definitions in nomenclature here. There is a template version and a firmware version to take note of.

Template/Configuration - The project file that you save to/from the drive
Firmware - What the drive runs on. The "OS".

DSELite v3.11, and Drive Firmware Compatibility

What drives can be used with DSELite, and the firmware on those drives required to interface with DSELite

AC Drives:

890 all firmware versions

690+ all firmware versions

AC30 firmware versions 1.6 or later

AC10 firmware versions 2.27, 2.31, 3.27, 3.31, 4.27, and 4.31

[OBX] 650V frame 1 - 3 for firmwares: 2, 3, 4, and 5
[OBX] 650V frame C - F for firmwares: 2, 3, and 4
[OBX] 650G frame 1 - 3 for firmwares: 1 and 2
[OBX] 650G frame C - F for firmwares: 1
[OBX] 650S for firmwares: 1 and 2

[OBX] 620 series firmware version 4.0 or later

[OBX] 605 series all firmware versions

Additional OBX drives are included in DSELite for legacy's sake. To see what the programming of the old drives were doing to assist migrating forward. These drives are included, but not supported.

DC Drives:

(DRV Versions of the 590/590+ are no different software wise, in comparison to their respective non-DRV equivalents).

Major revision of firmware and product series is the key differentiation here.

590+ all firmware versions

[OBX] 590D series, firmware version 3.2 or later.

[OBX] 590D was the same as the 590C.

[OBX] 590SP all firmware versions

[OBX] 584SV all firmware versions

Additional OBX drives are included in DSELite for legacy's sake. To see what the programming of the old drives were doing to assist migrating forward. These drives are included, but not supported.

Project Files, and Drive Firmware Compatibility

The firmware on a drive, and the project file versions that are compatible with those drives.

AC Drives:

AC890 Drive with version 3.XX firmware is only compatible with lower versions of 3.XX templates
- A 3.12 firmware is compatible with 3.7 template, but 3.7 firmware is not compatible with a 3.12 template.
- Do not use v1, v2, or v4 for new applications
- The 890 control boards are not major revision of firmware dependent. However, there are many caveats:
  - Do not download firmware older than v3.7 onto an "STO 890 drive" (890 drives v3.7 or later).
  - Only the latest revision of v1 firmware can be downloaded onto newer boards but is NOT ADVISED NOR SUPPORTED for new applications.
  - Latest version of v2 firmware may be downloaded onto newer boards but is NOT ADVISED NOR SUPPORTED for new applications.
  - Latest version v4 firmware may be downloaded onto modern boards but is NOT ADVISED NOR SUPPORTED for new applications.

AC690 Drive with version 5 firmware is compatible with the following templates:
- 690+ version 1, 2, 3, 4

AC650 drives [OBX]
- Some older revisions of templates can be placed into recent revisions of drives for the 650, 650V, and 650G. I.E. You can place a v4 template into a v5 firmware drive. However, vice-versa is not true, you can not take a v5 template and place it into a v4 firmware drive.
  - IMPORTANT V5 Control Board Note
- AC650V Drive will accept AC650G templates
- AC650G Drive will accept AC650V templates

DC Drives (590+):

You can not flash major revisions of firmware on the 590+ Drive. Board major revisions, are hardware dependent. You can flash minor revisions of firmware through DSELite. Note however, a v8 project file can not be downloaded into v7 or v5 firmware boards.

The 590+ with a version 8 firmware board, is compatible with all the following project files (DRV Part numbers included).

590+ project versions 5 and 7
590 project versions 3, 4, and 9
590SPD all project versions

No LINK project is compatible with DSELite or DSE890. DSD is required to view LINK project files -- IF you already have a copy of the project file. DSD is no longer supported.

This includes, but is not limited to, the 620L, 590L, and LINK accessory options implemented into mature 590+/690+/890 drives.

Understand the definitions in nomenclature here. There is a template version and a firmware version to take note of.

Template/Configuration - The project file that you save to/from the drive
Firmware - What the drive runs on. The "OS".

DSELite v3.11 and Drive Firmware Compatibility

What drives can be used with DSELite, and the firmware on those drives required to interface with DSELite

AC Drives:

890 all firmware versions

690+ all firmware versions

AC30 firmware versions 1.6 or later

AC10 firmware versions 2.27, 2.31, 3.27, 3.31, 4.27, and 4.31

[OBX] 620 series firmware version 4.0 or later

[OBX] 605 series all firmware versions

Additional OBX drives are included in DSELite for legacy's sake. To see what the programming of the old drives were doing to assist migrating forward. These drives are included, but not supported.

DC Drives:

(DRV Versions of the 590/590+ are no different software wise, in comparison to their respective non-DRV equivalents. The main differentiation is major firmware versions)

590+ all firmware versions

590D series, firmware version 3.2 or later. [OBX]

590D was the same as the 590C. [OBX]

590SP all firmware versions [OBX]

584SV all firmware versions [OBX]

Additional OBX drives are included in DSELite for legacy's sake. To see what the programming of the old drives were doing to assist migrating forward. These drives are included, but not supported.

Project Files and Drive Firmware Compatibility

The firmware on a drive, and the project file versions that are compatible with those drives.

AC Drives:

AC890 Drive with version 3.XX firmware is only compatible with lower versions of 3.XX templates
- A 3.12 firmware is compatible with 3.7 template, but a 3.7 firmware is not compatible with 3.12 template.
- Do not use v1, v2, or v4 for new applications
- The 890 control boards are not major revision of firmware dependent. However, there are many caveats:
  - Do not download firmware older than v3.7 onto an "STO 890 drive" (890 drives v3.7 or later).
  - Only the latest revision of v1 firmware can be downloaded to newer boards but is NOT ADVISED NOR SUPPORTED for new applications.
  - v2 firmware may be downloaded onto newer boards but is NOT ADVISED NOR SUPPORTED for new applications.
  - v4 firmware may be downloaded onto modern boards but is NOT ADVISED NOR SUPPORTED for new applications.

AC690 Drive with version 5 firmware is compatible with the following templates:
- 690+ version 1, 2, 3, 4

AC650 drives
- Some older revisions of templates can be placed into recent revisions of drives for the 650, 650V, and 650G. I.E. You can place a v4 template into a v5 firmware drive. However, vice-versa is not true, you can not take a v5 template and place it into a v4 firmware drive.
  - IMPORTANT V5 Control Board Note
- AC650V Drive will accept AC650G templates
- AC650G Drive will accept AC650V templates

DC Drives:

590+ Drive with version 8 firmware is compatible with the following project files (DRV Part numbers included):

590+ versions 5 and 7
590 versions 3, 4, and 9

No LINK project is compatible with DSELite or DSE890. DSD is required to view LINK project files -- IF you already have a copy of the project file. DSD is no longer supported.

This includes, but is not limited to, the 620L, 590L, and LINK accessory options implemented into mature 590+/690+/890 drives.

Understand the definitions in nomenclature here. There is a template version and a firmware version to take note of.

Template/Configuration - The project file that you save to/from the drive
Firmware - What the drive runs on. The "OS".
