ECUMASTER PMU Change Log

101.2 Public Release (2024-10-24)

Firmware

Fixes

• Fixed an issue in PMU24 where outputs 17, 18, and 19 would turn on and off during the short period of a firmware update.
• Fixed a rare crash that occurred when an invalid value was entered for axis range in the Graph Log.

101.1 Public Release (2024-09-17)

Firmware

Fixes

• Fixed non-zero current reading on power outputs with no load (fixed issue introduced in firmware version 101.0)

Client

Fixes

• Offline mode: Fixed project conversion issue when using two keypads and loading project with firmware configuration below 83
• Offline mode: The project selector is always presented to the user when a project was edited in a version lower than the Client version

101.0.1 Release Candidate (RC1) (2024-08-26)

Fixes

• Fixed an issue that caused user channels to not be saved properly after loading a project file
• Fixed an issue with loading certain logs. The affected logs were those saved in PMU software version 91.0 or newer when using firmware from versions prior to 91.0

101.0 experimental (2024-04-05)

Firmware

New features

• Support for the new "5x3MT Ecumaster with 2 encoders" keyboard
• New Lookup5 operation (similar to Lookup2/3/4)
• Support for Autosaved Channels

Note about Autosaved Channels: There are three conditions when the values of these channels are saved to permanent memory: 1. When an Ignition Switch is turned off (requires separate wiring for Constant +12V and Ignition Switch). 2. Periodically, but not more frequently than every 2 minutes. 3. When Engine RPM decreases to zero (requires the "Engine RPM channel" to be set in the "Standard Channels Assignment" panel).

• Merging project from PMU-16 AS to other models now properly handles different current rating for O6..O11 outputs (25A vs 15A).

Changes

• We disabled the PWM functionality for the 7A outputs in PMU-24 DL due to the risk of overload when powering highly inductive loads. This precaution ensures the stability and longevity of the device, minimizing the risk of potential damage.

92.0.3-beta (2024-02-15)

New features

• "File / Merge Project..." (Ctrl+M) command added

Improvements
