WIMorrison Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 (edited) Roco have released a new firmware (v1.15) for the Z21 which you can find here Software & Tools - Downloads - Roco z21 There are some very useful additions (at least for me) with a Railcom monitor and also a Loconet monitor. There also now the ability to switch DCC turnouts and an increased number of Zimo MX decoders that can be updated (but of you know how you can update ALL Zimo decoders using a Z21 ) Hope this is useful Edited February 10, 2021 by WIMorrison 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WIMorrison Posted February 10, 2021 Author Share Posted February 10, 2021 Thanks John, have amended the title - I know I am liking the additional functions in the software made available through the firmware update Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIMorrison Posted August 19, 2021 Author Share Posted August 19, 2021 There is a new update for the Z21 posted by Roco here Z21 Maintenance Tool - Products - Roco z21 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIMorrison Posted August 19, 2021 Author Share Posted August 19, 2021 If anyone can workout what the LAN: Added new LAN commands for CAN booster management addition means can you please tell me? I have searched the manuals for the Z21 and 10806/10707 and can find no mention of what these LAN commands are in either of the manuals I am hoping that they mean I (or iTrain) can read the internal voltages and currents like I can in the Z21 but without some information from Roco I am lost. I have also emailed Roco to ask them what this is about, but experience suggests it could be quite a wait for an answer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latest protocol spec at https://www.z21.eu/media/Kwc_Basic_DownloadTag_Component/root-en-main_47-1652-959-downloadTag-download/default/d559b9cf/1628743384/z21-lan-protokoll-en.pdf , (v1.11en dated 11-Aug-2021). I believe chapter 10 is what you need. Cheers Dave 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WIMorrison Posted August 28, 2023 Author Share Posted August 28, 2023 An update with firmware 1.43 available for the Z/z21 at Z21 Maintenance Tool - Products - Roco z21 Installs without issue using PC using downloaded file or phone using the app. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinofLoxley Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 Am I right in thinking this simply downloads as a new set of files but doesn't automatically update? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIMorrison Posted September 4, 2023 Author Share Posted September 4, 2023 Not sure what you mean. It download an updated program which you use to update the Z21 and it provides a new version of the maintenance tool - just like it always does.

RobinofLoxley Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 No what I mean is the new download doesnt overwrite the earlier files, so you have more than one set; you then delete the earlier version manually Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIMorrison Posted September 4, 2023 Author Share Posted September 4, 2023 It will install where-ever you unzip the file into. If you install to the same directory as the old version it will overwrite them, which could be useful if you have shortcuts as they will still work. If you needed an older version later (can't understand why) then you would just download the older version. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't need to delete the earlier zip file version. Regards, John P Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
