[How to read the Serial Number to check manufacture date]
On the back of the HMI, there will be a sticker with a "SN" number.

For example: WXS1Bxxxx1223xxxx
Digits 10 and 11 (from the left) indicate year of manufacture (12 = 2012)
Digits 12 and 13 (from the left) indicate week of the year (23 = 23rd week of the year - which is June 4th)

[Software Compatibility Rules]
The HMIS5T back module has 64MB of DRAM and 32MB of application flash. This is twice the amount of memory from the first generation of HMISTU.

HMIS5T back module requires Vijeo Designer V6.0 SP3 to select the HMIS5T in the configuration. Note that all HMIS5T's manufactured after November 2018 will require Vijeo Designer V6.2 SP7. There will be a label on the rear module indicating this.

In Vijeo Designer, always select the correct target type as listed on the label of the rear module. Do not use the target type model HMISTU655 or HMISTU855 unless your label indicates that.

The suffix letter 's' in HMISTU655s and HMISTU855s indicates that the Vijeo Designer Limited disk is included with the package. No software registration is needed for the HMISTU.
