Upgrade Wecan Inner Edge to WecanX

[ToasterJoe]

I'm looking into upgrading my current FPIS specific inner edge bars, FST is trio and the RST is duo, from WECAN to WECANX. I'm considering upgrading my Cantrol to a Core build, which would make my current inner edge bars incompatible. Is it cost effective or even possible to upgrade them by swapping the IO boards? I'd also need the part numbers. Thanks

Parts to switch a WeCan FST or RST into a WeCanX FST or RST. You will reuse (1) of the existing harnesses in the bars. Dip switch settings apply to the dip switches on the I/O boards so that the system knows if it is an FST or RST. This info can be gleamed from the following two WCX install guides:
FST: https://www.whelen.com/install/14C/14C75.pdf
RST: https://www.whelen.com/install/14C/14C73.pdf

FST Solo/Duo (Dip Switch: 1= ON, 2= OFF)
(1) - 02-016J531-00 - PCB CONTROL BD 24 OUTPUT INNER EDGE WeCanX SMT
(1) - 46-0788625-01 - HARNESS "D" WeCanX INNER EDGE FST/RST
(1) - 46-0788625-00 - HARNESS "A"/"B" WeCanX INNER EDGE FST
FST Trio (Dip Switch: 1= ON, 2= OFF)
(1) - 02-016J197-00 - PCB CONTROL BD 36 OUTPUT INNER EDGE WeCanX SMT
(1) - 46-0788625-01 - HARNESS "D" WeCanX INNER EDGE FST/RST
(1) - 46-0788625-00 - HARNESS "A"/"B" WeCanX INNER EDGE FST
RST Solo/Duo (Dip Switch: 1= OFF, 2= ON)
(1) - 02-016J531-00 - PCB CONTROL BD 24 OUTPUT INNER EDGE WeCanX SMT
(1) - 46-0788625-01 - HARNESS "D" WeCanX INNER EDGE FST/RST
(1) - 46-0788625-02 - HARNESS "A" WeCanX INNER EDGE RST
(1) - 46-0788625-03 - HARNESS "B" WeCanX INNER EDGE RST
RST Trio (Dip Switch: 1= OFF, 2= ON)
(1) - 02-016J197-00 - PCB CONTROL BD 36 OUTPUT INNER EDGE WeCanX SMT
(1) - 46-0788625-01 - HARNESS "D" WeCanX INNER EDGE FST/RST
(1) - 46-0788625-02 - HARNESS "A" WeCanX INNER EDGE RST
(1) - 46-0788625-03 - HARNESS "B" WeCanX INNER EDGE RST

Your current inner edge bars will work with Core. WeCan just still has the same limitations, ie; not syncing with peripherals, and being limited on the number of WeCan devices connected.
