Launch of the C.I.E. MD2400 with generation 3 main processor card
From 1 March 2024, all C.I.E. MD2400 will be equipped with the new Generation 3 main processor card as standard. The Generation 3 main processor card is future-ready because of its powerful CPU, SD card provision and additional slot for Ethernet connectivity.

New configuration software
The programming of the data file of a C.I.E. MD2400 equipped with a Generation 3 main processor card is done using a new version of the MD2400 configuration software. This new MD2400 Generation 3 configuration software is only compatible with the Generation 3 main processor card and requires the installation of a new MD2400 licence file.
Token-Ring netwerk with Rabbit4000 main processor cards
The C.I.E. MD2400 with Generation 3 main processor card is compatible with the current Rabbit4000 main processor card (Generation 2 – Version 2.03 or higher) and can consequently be included, without update, in a Token-ring network with existing C.I.E. MD2400(L) equipped with the current Rabbit4000 main processor card (Generation 2 – Version 2.03 or higher).
ATTENTION: Token-ring connections between the different MD2400 C.I.E.'s should be performed via the RTR module.
Token-ring network with Rabbit2000 main processor cards
The C.I.E. MD2400 Generation 3 main processor card is NOT compatible with a main processor card Rabbit2000 (Generation 1).
To integrate a new C.I.E. MD2400 – Generation 3 in a Token-ring network with existing C.I.E. MD2400 equipped with a Rabbit2000 main processor card (Generation 1), an upgrade of the existing C.I.E. MD2400 to a main processor card Generation 3 is required!
C.I.E. MD2400L
The upgrade to a main processor card Generation 3 is NOT implemented on the C.I.E. MD2400L! The C.I.E. MD2400L will remain available and will continue to be equipped with the main processor card Rabbit4000.
