Software Update Available: Vintage TFT Coffee Machines


A new software version for Vintage TFT coffee machines is now available for download from the main menu under Support (Software Updates)


Firmware versions

  • CPU: V535 R 8.56 → V535 R 8.60

  • TFT display board: V468 R 10.35 → V468 R 10.46


All newly manufactured machines will be equipped with this software version starting September 1, 2026.


New Features


Protected access to programming (parameter P197) A new function prevents access to the programming section unless technician-level or higher credentials are available. The function is controlled by parameter P197 (0 = disabled / 1 = enabled). When enabled, the user is only allowed to run the cleaning cycles or operate the lighting controls. Programming mode accessed via the start/stop button is also disabled, and menu access is only possible using a USB device.


Improved actuator test menu Touch sensitivity in the actuator test menu has been refined to prevent accidental activation of certain components.


New group cleaning counters A dedicated counters page for group cleaning cycles has been added to the Counters menu.


Better guided cleaning interface The graphical interface for the guided group cleaning procedure has been improved.


Brewing timers with autosteamer controls Coffee brewing timers can now be displayed on the TFT screen even when autosteamer controls are installed.


Corrections

  • Corrected the temperature display for the autosteamer buttons.

  • Corrected incorrect temperature and pressure values shown on the side status bar of the main screen.

  • Corrected the unintended activation of the screen saver during software updates and while using the actuator test menu.


Correct Update Procedure

Follow these steps in order:

  1. Update the main board firmware

  2. Update the TFT display firmware

  3. Import the language files

  4. Import the parameter file

  5. Import the logo files (screen saver)

  6. Set the number of groups parameter (P4)


The update files can be found in the main menu on our website. For technical questions, contact service@rcwusa.us
