The GC-201 controller is equipped with two DSP’s (Digital Signal Processor) for Axis 1 and for Axis 2,
and the same firmware is written in each DSP.
When firmware is upgraded for the addition of functions and fixing problems, it is possible to connect a
RS-232C cable and update the firmware with dedicated write software.
A dedicated firmware update CD will be provided when there is a necessity to update the firmware.
Please contact your sales representative about the firmware update CD.

Note:
As part of the firmware update operation, it will be necessary to operate DIP switches and jumper
switches on the GC-201 controller. Please carry out static electricity counter-measures such as using
an earth band during operation to avoid electrostatic discharge failure.
