Version No.	Previous Version	Date	Contents
V5.02 151215	V5.01 111222	’15/12/24	Fixed: The loading of the dial pattern using the USB flash memory fails with both-side needle selection machines..
V5.01 111222	V5.00 100216	’12/01/10	Added: “Folder No.” has been added to the setting items of “LAN setting menu 31”.
V5.00 090304	V4.00 070117	’09/3/18	Changed: A USB flash memory stick can now be used.
V4.00 070117	V4.00 060228	’07/11/06	Changed: FMC40 has been modified so that pattern data can be transferred to both-side needle selection machines via LAN.
V4.00 060228	V4.00 051006	’06/03/06	Changed: Large striper data obtained by using the combinationfunction of VX-RSY can now be used also on electronic machines. New parameter (**.pas) for up to 260,000 striper courses can be loaded by “KNIT” command. (cf. the existing parameter (**.par) is for up to 32,767 courses.)
V4.00 051006	V4.00 050513	’05/10/06	Fixed: Pattern data can not be loaded, via LAN, into FMC40 controller with the software Ver.1.07 installed.
V4.00 050513	V4.00 050204	’05/07/20	Changed: Pattern data can now be loaded into FMC40 via LAN.
V4.00 050204	V4.00 031029	’05/03/08	Fixed: “FAN ERROR” of the option unit is not shown on the operation panel and all the errors of the option unit are shown as “STITCH ERROR” instead. In this new version,if any fault occurs on the fan of the option unit, the operation panel first shows “OPTION UNIT ERROR” and by pressing the “STOP FACT” key, the panel shows “STC. UNIT FAN ERROR”. This is true with other errors of the option unit.
V4.00 031029	V4.00 030708	’03/10/29	Fixed: There are cases where the presently counted number of garments plus the desired number of garments to be knitted becomes the preset value “1” when “LOSS GARMENT” is set to “0”, and thus more than the desired number of garments is produced.
V4.00 030708	V4.00 020805	’03/07/01	Fixed: Even if “LOSS GARMENT” value is set to 2 on V-IRGY, the preset value is changed by 1 garment unit only. Modified: The preset value of “LOSS GARMENT”can now be changed if “NO” is selected in “RESET PARAMETER”.
V4.00 020805	V4.00 020320	’02/08/05	Fixed: 1. When operating V-IRGY, the number of garments to be knitted cannot be entered in RESET PARAMETER. 2. When operating V-IRGY, it is required to enter TS START and RETURN TO NORMAL in RESET PARAMETER.
V4.00 020320	V4.00 020227	’02/03/20	Fixed: 1. When operating V-SECPLT12 using FMC40 controller, the “NEEDLE POWER” function cannot be controlled. 2. When loading a pattern data of 1MW or more into FMC10 controller, “COM ERROR” occurs.
V4.00 020227	V4.00 020119	’02/02/27	Fixed: DD type floppy disk (for 20M/30M controller) cannot be used as a pattern disk for the dial side of both side needle selection machines such as V-LEC4DS.
V4.00 020155	V4.00 011025	’02/01/15	Fixed: The LED for “OTHER” errors is not lit during the boot time of the controller while “C.ERROR” is being displayed on the operation panel. Now it can be lit during the boot time.
V4.00 011025	V3.00 010928	’01/10/25	Changed: Enabled the installing program to install software into FMC40 via LAN. Added:PAGE31. “LAN” Added:Function for loading pattern data into FMC40 via LAN (Note: The software for this purpose to be used on PC side is under development.)

V1.02 V1.08	V1.02 V1.06	’02/03/22	Fixed: “ALL KNIT” goes to “NO LOOP” and “ALL WELT” goes to “ALL LOOP” on V-SECPLT12.
V1.02 V1.06	V1.02 V1.04	’02/02/18	Fixed: There are cases where the needles are raised when the testing part comes to the take-off feeder if “MOVE” has been selected on the “TST MODE, FEED= STAY MOVE” page and the pattern to be knitted contains a take-off part.
V1.02 V1.04	V1.02 V1.03	’02/02/12	Fixed: There are some cases, when both the stripers and the needles are in the “Test Mode” and when using test data containing # (no-finger), where striping is not done correctly due to the delay of needle elevation timing by half a feeder from the introduction timing of a striping finger to the needle line.
V1.02 V1.03	V1.01 V1.02	’02/01/30	Added: Error message for “NEEDLE POWER OFF”, “STRIPER POWER OFF” and “STRIPER ACTUATOR ERROR”. Fixed: AB in the test data is not selected as “tuck-welt” but as “tuck-knit”. Fixed: Several needles in the selvage portion are in the all tuck position when the striper is in the take-off position in the “Needle Test Mode”.
