NOTICE
When upgrading MPI versions, upgrade the node FPGA versions also to ensure compatibility. As of MPI 03.01.00, the default FPGA versions can be checked (and updated) using Motion Console's sqNode Binary Download tab, or using the command line program sqNodeFlash. In addition, the MPI will issue a warning if the FPGA version is not within min and max version limits. However, downloading the default FPGA version is generally recommended for best compatibility (each FPGA may have different min, default, and max versions in each MPI release).

For MPI releases prior to 03.01.00, consult release documentation or contact the factory to determine default FPGA versions.

Note there are two known compatibility issues between MPI 20030620.x (FPGA 0x020C/0x020D) and MPI 03.01.00 (FPGA 0x03xx). The secondary (auxilliary) encoder functions and ADC (analog input) functions will not be functional unless the corresponding FPGA version has been downloaded.

NOTICE
When upgrading firmware versions, the MPI automatically updates the controller FPGA to the correct version.
