This thread is for choosing a stable Fairino software package for FR10 controllers and avoiding QX/LA compatibility mistakes.

Status

Known answer. QX and LA are different software families. Installing the wrong package can fail or cause serious update problems.

Important distinction

  • QX usually refers to QNX-based controller software.
  • LA usually refers to Linux-based controller software.
  • They are not interchangeable.
  • European Fairino support commonly works with QX models, so always confirm your controller type before updating.

Known checks before updating

  • Open WebApp and check the exact controller/software version string.
  • Look for suffixes such as QX or LA.
  • Confirm whether you need only a software update or also controller firmware.
  • Backup robot programs, points and configuration before upgrading.
  • Do not install a package just because the version number is higher.

Please reply with

  • Robot model
  • Current software version string
  • Controller type: QX or LA if known
  • Target version you want to install
