    In regards to complex Victron systems that are built on older microprocessors, which firmware version is required? Also, how does this firmware change the configuration interface, particularly in relation to the Virtual switch and Assistants tabs?

    If you’re dealing with complex systems that operate on older microprocessor hardware, you should use firmware version xxxx2xx.

    This specific firmware is tailored for older hardware platforms, and it brings a notable change in the configuration interface.

    Once you load firmware xxxx2xx onto your system, you’ll notice that the Virtual switch tab, which you might be familiar with in other systems, will no longer be available. Instead, the Assistants tab will appear. This tab is where you’ll do all your configurations and settings adjustments for these complex systems.

    To identify whether your system has an old microprocessor, you can check the 7-digit firmware number.

    • Old microprocessors, the first two digits of this number will be either 19 or 20. In contrast

    • New microprocessors have firmware numbers starting with 26 or 27.

    This is a handy way to quickly determine the type of microprocessor in your system and ensure you’re using the correct firmware version for optimal performance and compatibility.
