Vision and Dritek+ Updates

For Portable and Tower Dryers

CURRENT:

Vision Software for Tower and Portable Dryers - Version 2.08

Released 11/11/19

HI/LO and ON/OFF burner operation will now ignite the burner in LOW fire mode before being allowed to energize the HIGH fire solenoid. (No power is allowed to the cycle solenoid output J1-02 until flame has been established).

  • In HI/LO mode this would only occur during the initial burner ignition phase. Once flame has been established cycling the valve will occur normally when cycling LO to HI, with no pause between.
  • In ON/OFF mode the burner will always fire in LOW fire then 1 second later energize the J1-02 cycle solenoid output until the plenum temperature set point has been met. Then the valves will close and restart the sequence again with a 1 second delay to the high fire valve.

Fixed a bug that was introduced in 1.02 in regards to the batch operation of dual plenum temperature operation. When operating in Batch mode on 1-fan dryers and using the dual plenum/grain drying feature the software would hang up when the low grain temperature was met and would not advance to the LOW HEAT timer. (Tested in 2.07b in the Canadian market)

Fixed an issue where if no gas is present during initial firing of the burner it would attempt to light the burner four times instead of three. Ignition attempts are now limited to three regardless if flame has been detected or never been detected.

Software now allows the moisture sensor offset to be greater than or less than 10 in the "Calibrate Moisture Sensor" section of the Setup screen. MC had an offset with the available 10 point adjustment. They are now allowed to change up to 20 points in either direction.

Removed the calculated grain temperature remaining in the temp hold message on the main screen when operating in batch mode.  The displayed numbers may have been confusing, especially when showing a double negative "- -" value. It now simply flashes “TEMP HOLD…”

Vision Software for Tower and Portable Dryers - Version 2.06A

Released 10/01/18

2.06A will allow the old moisture control board to work correctly with the newer software.

2.06A re-installs the help files and includes the four missing discharge lid animation files.

Vision Software for Tower and Portable Dryers - Version 2.05

2.05 added 1 hour averaging to the moisture output located in the bottom left corner of the dryers main screen.

Installation Instructions

This will install only the French and English files. If another language needs installed on the Vision system the full version is available by emailing our service department at gsifixt@gsiag.com

Note: When upgrading from 1.xx or earlier software to any version of 2.0x software, you will need to verify that you have the necessary required disk space left on the drive to handle the additional 30MB of program and language files it contains. Instructions

Vision Software for Tower and Portable Dryers - Version 2.04

Released 09/16/16

Version 2.04 update for use with new Advanced Moisture Control Board (D03-1212).

2.04 fixes an issue of not connecting to the older Watchdog remote monitoring systems. This also has been updated with version 2.04 of the MC_GEN2.hex file.

To install this upgrade on 1.xx and older software follow the steps listed below:

  1. Install the 2.04 software onto your thumb drive by running the Vision Software vP204.EXE file you downloaded above.
  2. Startup the Vision controls and insert the thumb drive into the controllers USB port.
  3. At the first screen select the "Get Programs" from USB
  4. Once it copies, leave the drive in. Select the "Install Software" button and select 2.04.
  5. Once it is installed go ahead and press the "Start Dryer" button.
  6. It will notify you that you will need to install the language files first and kick you back to a new version of the boot up screen.
  7. At the new boot up screen go ahead and select the "Get Programs" button again. It will copy the files again and also the language files too.
  8. When it gets done copying, you will not need to re-install them. Instead, simply press the "Start Dryer" button.

The default language will be English. If installing this software on older Vision controls, the AUTO-START feature will be unavailable unless the moisture control board is upgraded to the advanced model D03-1212. Contact your dealer for more information.

Vision Software - Version 1.15

This update fixes the following bugs:

  1. A temperature calibration issue, which caused negative temperature offsets. They were interpreted as large positive offsets for moisture.
  2. When running the 1.xx software on the newer Optillis display, the Vision Software would appear not to load in the Windows CE 6.0 by being minimized on the windows taskbar.

Vision Software - Version 1.13

Released 06/01/15

Version 1.13 update for use with Vision controls built prior to 2016.

This update addresses a couple of minor bugs.

Vision Software for Tower and Portable Dryers - Version 2.03

Released 05/05/16

Version 2.03a update for use with new Advanced Moisture Control Board (D03-1212).

Added Multi Language Capability and Auto-Start feature when used with the Advanced Moisture Control Board (D03-1212). Version 2.03 software will require special attention during installation. It replaces the bootloader program named VisionDryer.exe on the hard drive of the Vision controls. This is so the software can also load the hard drive with multiple language files.

To install this upgrade on 1.xx and older software follow the steps listed below:

  1. Install the 2.03 software onto your thumb drive by running the Vision Software vP203.EXE file you downloaded above.

  7. At the new boot up screen go ahead and select the "Get Programs" button again. It will copy the files again and also the language files too.
  8. When it gets done copying, you will not need to re-install them. Instead, simply press the "Start Dryer" button.

The default language will be English. If installing this software on older Vision controls, the AUTO-START feature will be unavailable unless the moisture control board is upgraded to the advanced model D03-1212. Contact your dealer for more information.

Note: This "a" revision addresses an issue with the languages not being installed in the proper folder on the USB thumb drive.

PROGRAMMING INFORMATION

NOTICE! As with any computer upgrade, you run the risk of making your dryer inoperable if the programming procedure is interrupted during the upgrade. NEVER TURN OFF POWER DURING UPGRADE PROCESS!

If you are currently drying grain, we highly recommend you wait until you are finished drying grain before attempting to update your software.

ATTENTION! Software version P101 and higher is now using a user safety inputs located on the main I/O board inside the upper control box of your dryer.

If you are upgrading your dryer from prior software revisions then you will need to place a jumper wire between J2-02 and J2-03 (User Safety #1 input) to provide 12VDC to this input. Then add jumpers between J2-03, J2-05, J2-06 (all (4) open user safety inputs). Failure to do so will cause your dryer to become inoperable due to a user safety shutdown message until this procedure is done.

These inputs can be used to stop dryer operation by connecting auxiliary equipment between 12VDC and the safety input with a N/C closed connection that will open in the event of a shutdown or equipment failure.

IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ! If you experience any issues with motors not starting you may need to reset the computer to factory defaults. If you need to reset your controls you can download the following document. How to Reset Your Touch Screen Controller back to Factory Defaults
