While we’re finalizing the Argon firmware 2.0 for official release, we have brought several of the 2.0’s fixes and improvements to the current official firmware version 1.4.2. Get it from the wiki!

Standard firmware version

• Fixes & adjustments:
  • Added additional protection interlocks for drive’s internal in-rush limiter (reliability improvement)
  • Reduce sensitivity of resolver feedback device no-signal failure (fault location code 890101)
  • Increased upper limit of HV DC bus supply (parameter FOV increased)
  • Effectiveness of regenerative resistor improved
  • Speed of Phasing a.k.a. phase search increased
  • Current setpoint during Phasing a.k.a. phase search reduced to reduce unnecessary motor heating during power-on

Racing simulator special version

• Additional changes to simulator wheel special version:
  • Eliminate Phasing a.k.a. phase search error in 110-120 VAC power networks
  • Duty cycle limit parameter (6110) now has 200% scale in 110-120 VAC power networks to have equal effect compared to 220-240 VAC networks

For those who don’t know yet, Argon is being used in many professional racing simulator systems. For introduction, see the comparison below:
