    I’m trying to understand the various firmware types for VE.Bus products. For instance, a MultiPlus 24/3000/70 with a 50A transfer switch can have different firmware versions like 2610143, 2610206, 2610302, or 2610400.

    Could someone clarify how these differ and what the introduction of firmware version 4xx means for these products?

    VE.Bus products, such as the MultiPlus 24/3000/70, come with a range of firmware options. Each firmware version, like 2610143 or 2610206, is designed to optimize the product’s performance for specific applications or settings.

    The introduction of firmware version 4xx brought a significant change. Previously, if you needed a different type of firmware for a different installation, you had to manually update the firmware. But with version 4xx and later, this is no longer necessary. This version is more versatile and can adapt to various installation types without needing a firmware change.

    All new Multis and Quattros will be shipped with firmware version 400 or 500 pre-installed. This means they’ll be ready to use with Assistants (additional software tools for customization and optimization) right out of the box, making the setup process more straightforward for different installation needs. So, if you’re using or planning to get a new Multi or Quattro, you’ll likely have this more flexible firmware version from the start.
