I hate to say this but I’m having all types of problems with this firmware update. My machine will work fine until I go to bring up a new file and when I try to frame that file the machine crashes! Unfortunately I had no idea how to back up the original firmware otherwise I’d go back to that. Any suggestions Matt
with my testing and during production of videos for Ruida I have changed firmware revisions a few time both upgrade and downgrade, this has not had any effect on my machines performance. it is safe to downgrade your firmware to a previous revision if you need to. If you require further assistance email me mwlaser.com.au/contact-us/ Cheers Matt
Great video thanks for the info, the firmware update disabled auto focus on mine and also air assist was only enabled when the laser fired so the relay chattered. I downgraded to .15 and all is ok
Hi Matthew, Thank you for the video. I have the 6445S with version 13 firmware. If I upgrade the firmware to 16 ( in order to get the chuck rotary to work correctly) will it also change the cuurent user and vendor settings?
Hey Matt Any ideea were i can update my ruida firmware? It seems that the controller firmware download tab has disappeared from the website. I need a new firmware because my rotary won't start the job. I can ony frame it. Thank you
When I click, "upgrade firmware" I get a pop up message that says communication error. When I click "read" it says read system information failure. My laptop is correctly plugged into the machine.
these two models have very similar mainboard features. some of visible features, include the 6445 's larger LCD, and keypad layout. Also some menu functions are easier to access on the 6445 and the number pad makes it easier to enter values when in the controller menu. For full list of the features of each visit Ruida Website www.rd-acs.com
Hello, thank you for all the efforts put into machine these informative videos. It is always a wonderful experience learning new stuff on your channel. Need some help, I think I have messed with the step length assigned to X and Y in vendor parameter settings. Could you help in this regard. Thanks in advance.
When I try to read from the controller, RDWorks gives me an error "Read system information failure!". The computer is connected to the laser by USB and ethernet.
Thank you for all of the videos and this firmware content Matt -- I've had a hard time finding how to keep up with the latest Ruida releases, what's your system? :-) I have an RDC6445G currently running 15.01.22 and I think I want to update to the latest to get my rotary working but I've had a hard time navigating to understand the releases and changes made!
Thanks for the video. May I have your contact? Because I got a problem with my laser machine that it is not resetting properly it even doesn't move along x axis. When I diagnose it from machine screen the xlimit - shows in red color. I upgraded the firmware but can't see any changes
My ruida 6445g controller came with 15.01.22 firmware. I’m having an issue when I attach rotary to y axis using a 3PDT switch and enable rotary. I can frame the design fine but when I click start. Nothing happens. If I disable rotary in controller and click run. The machine will engrave and rotary attachment works fine. Obv. Distorted. Is this a firmware issue for 15.01.22? Do you know a fix?
Hi Donald, I have become aware that there are some issues with controllers using that version of firmware. And it may be that the U axis is setup for Rotary and therefore it disables Y for rotary when you select that option. In short you are not the only one experiencing issues like this, and I have written directly to my Ruida Technician about these problems and I hope to have a solution soon. To continue our discussion email askmatt@mwlaser.com.au Cheers
Hello, how are you I have an old OS (RDLC-V5.00.38) I have installed RDWorksV8. And I don't know how to get the update file for the latest version in order to update the program on the machine
@@MWLaser Dear, thanks for your patience with me. I called and they sent me a file but its format is not ( u p d ). Rather, its format was (RDLC320-5.00.35.bin ) This format is not read by the program to update And I am afraid that I update to the file (RDC6445G-V15.01.15-LIB.upd) and the machine stops working. Please help me sir
That’s weird I have the same controller but can’t find that update file on the RD website. There is one file there that’s a different type of file that causes an error when trying to update it. Trying to contact them is almost impossible
Hi :) do you know how to use barcodes with Ruida-acs SV300? We managed to cut models with marks, read barcodes, etc, but we dont know how to link the cut file to a barcode. Seems you need one of those softwares called YingTinTong, HuiCai, ZhongDing or Meihao but dont find anything about that :( Im desperated with this... Thank you in advance
Love from INDIA your videos in so much detal in wiring and spare parts i didn't get deep detail in any other videos i think i watched your all videos in 3 to 4 days and also i want to make a CO2 laser machine 600 WATTS can you able to help me...?

With the .18 firmware to enable Focusing Use RD Works - User Tab - Other - Scroll down to "Enable Focusing Function" to Yes and Write to controller.
Hi Matthew, Thank you for the video. I have the 6445S with version 13 firmware. If I upgrade the firmware to 16 ( in order to get the chuck rotary to work correctly) will it also change the cuurent user and vendor settings?
Does the firmware update reset all of the parameters to default?
Good morning I would like to know what to do if the co2 laser machine does not move on x or y
Hey Matt
Any ideea were i can update my ruida firmware?
It seems that the controller firmware download tab has disappeared from the website.
I need a new firmware because my rotary won't start the job.
I can ony frame it.
Thank you
Email me details of your current firmware version and controller model cheers Matt@mwlaser.com.au
When I click, "upgrade firmware" I get a pop up message that says communication error. When I click "read" it says read system information failure. My laptop is correctly plugged into the machine.
first I come to thank you for the video, then I would like to know if there is already a frameware update for RDLC320-A
if there is you should obtain it from RD-ACS website, if it is not listed then use the contact Support menu to request it.
Hi Matt can you tell me the difference between the Ruida RDC6445 and RDC6442 and why i would buy one or the other Thanks

To re-calibrate X & Y axis I have this video that should help you with that. ua-cam.com/video/PipeAxhWbzE/v-deo.html
When I try to read from the controller, RDWorks gives me an error "Read system information failure!". The computer is connected to the laser by USB and ethernet.
Use one connection option USB or Ethernet. ua-cam.com/video/68HDkseLNeY/v-deo.html
If I upgrade mine, will I lose all my parameters and axis settings? Or what will happen? Dont know too much about this topic, my bad
I know this is an older vid. :)
But is your RDC6445 display raised at an angle? :) if so, how did you get that done? :D Thanx in advance.

Hi, were i can find firmware for RDLC320-A model? Thanks a lot
contact ruida support
What exactly does the firmware address? For example, does it allow the use of the U axis for the rotary like it should have done 50 revisions ago?
sorry for the late reply... this is a question for the Ruida Support team
That’s weird I have the same controller but can’t find that update file on the RD website. There is one file there that’s a different type of file that causes an error when trying to update it. Trying to contact them is almost impossible
See the video description. There is a link there
One of the files is a HMI file not the Firmware Upgrade
What differences did the new firmware make, because you know what they say...."if it ain't broken then don't fix it".
there were some bug fixes with the air assist options. I agree... if yours is not broke you do not need to update.

No I have not - Please contact RD-ACS support.
Can I use the U axis for rotary?
Y axis is for Rotary, U axis is for feeding table axis
