I was just told by R&D that the KP04 and KP05 can already accept ID of up to 15!

However we need to check if Comfort can poll 15 keypads. There also needs to be a change in Comfigurator to allow 15 keypads to be scanned

More news soon

KP06 and KT03 will be updated in the future

That would be just amazing if you could do this!

I look forward to hearing.

Would that map to the 'never implemented' 61H-6FH range?

There is no need for a new ID range
Keypads IDs are currently 41 to 48 for 1 to 8. for 15 keypads the IDs would  be extended 49H to 4FH

Comfort 7.056 (Beta) supports 15 keypads, see http://www.comfortforums.com/forum79/3778.html

Also you need Comfigurator 3.8.7 to support 15 keypads

Hi

387 has been a bad move for me.

System prompted me to upgrade from 386 to 387.

Prompted to scan modules and keypads. Comfort polled 15 keypads  !!!

Now my system is stuck on communication failure on key pad 8. Daa :X, I only have one keypad.

Uninstalled 387 and and when back to 386. When the flash Comfort logo loads on start up, it reports version 387.

Since going back to 386 all scans crashes the system.

Now that I downloaded from PC to Comfort using 387, how do I recover to a true 386 version ?

Thanks

Have you opened  
C:\Program Files (x86)\Cytech\Comfigurator 3\Config\iomap.cym
up in notepad and check if the entry is there for your comfort file system version? as the error is suggesting it is missing? 

I'm on filesystem 34 so see this (screenshot) just before the start of the filesystem 35 section.

Note on mine there is also another file in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Cytech\Comfigurator 3 folder but this has no MaxKeypad entries.

It appears that the iomap.cym  file have not been updated for Comfigurator 3.8.7
In Comfigurator, can you go to File > Update Defaults
You need to have an Internet connection

This should update the defaults from the server
Then open the file again and scan for all modules

I am new to Comfort and I am building a test system and I have the same keypad problems as dcrera. I have two keypads in the system but it sees 15. I have tried the "update defaults" but the problem remains.

Hi, yes, I updated the file then logged out of Comfigurator and logged back in again, Keypads 9 to 15 reappeared and keypad 8 shows a comms error.

Hi
Why can't we go back to 386 with a back up cclx file ?
Why is it still showing version 387 on the flash screen ?
Thanks

Hi

I think I got this.

I manually deleted all but the keypads I require and downloaded from PC to Comfort.

No comms issues thus far

 

Thanks

This phantom keypad problem where keypads 9 to 16 appears as "not polled" occurs when Comfigurator 3.8.7 to 3.88 is used and Comfort has just reset.

Upgrade to comfigurator 3.8.8, go to File > Update Defaults to update the default files to Comfigurator. This should fix the problem

Also this is fixed in Firmware 7.057
