PCD3.Mxxxx Real Time Clock (RTC) corruption

FAQ #100712

 

Symptom
The clock value of a PCD3.Mxxxx equipped with a firmware x3x older than version 037 can run "accelerated" while the PCD is in run. After a power off / on of the PCD, the clock will be set correctly again.

 

Reason
This behaviour is caused by a problem in the firmware and is related to the "Soft RTC" which has been introduced in version 030.

Solution
This problem is corrected in firmware version 037. Please refer to the support site where you can find the latest version of the PCD3 firmware in the section "Product information --> PCD3 --> Mxxx0"
