# MetalWise CNC Plasma Cutting Machine 鈥?Firmware Index

Inventory of **F2100B External THC** and **F2100T Integrated THC** plasma-controller firmware packages from the local cncu.co.za mirror under `T:\U\C\MetalWise-CNC-Plasma-Cutting-Machine\System Files\`, mapped to live `https://cncu.co.za/...` URLs.
English prose only. **No pricing.** Firmware binaries themselves are **not** copied into this KB (pointer + URL only).

There is **no** `Firmware/` or `Firmwares/` folder on this product line (those paths **404** online). Controller firmware lives under **System Files**.

## What this firmware is

MetalWise CNC plasma tables in this tree use a **Fangling F2100 / F2000** cutting controller family:

1. **F2100B External THC** 鈥?torch-height control is a separate THC unit. Flash packages are `F2000.exe` / `UserApp.exe` plus `MOTION.dsp`. Prefer the **newest matching controller family** (**newer wins**): **Upgrade `F2000 - 20260506.exe` (2026-05-06)** over 2023 `F2000.exe` over 2016 `UserApp.exe` over 2015 `UserApp.exe`. Always match **B vs T** first.
2. **F2100T Integrated THC** 鈥?THC is built into the controller. Prefer 2023 `F2000.exe` over 2016 `UserApp.exe`. Do **not** flash a B package onto a T controller (or vice versa) unless support directs.
3. **Upgrade method (English guide + Upgrade/readme.txt):** download the `F2000` file and rename to `F2000.exe` if needed; format a USB stick **FAT32**; copy `F2000.exe` onto the stick; start the machine with **F2 held**. Full English steps: [`Upgrade Firmware of Plasma Control.pdf`](https://cncu.co.za/MetalWise-CNC-Plasma-Cutting-Machine/System%20Files/Upgrade%20Firmware%20of%20Plasma%20Control.pdf).
4. **`.bin` twins** (`da_1683708997338..bin` on B; `da_1683710976615..bin` on T) match the sibling `F2000.exe` byte-size and date 鈥?treat as the same payload, not a second version.

Wrong-controller flash risk 鈥?only when support directs. Support WhatsApp +27 60 600 7000.

Chinese-named PDFs under System Files / Components Manual are noted locally but **not** indexed here (English-only rule). FastCAM installer ZIPs and FabriCAM CAD/CAM are **software**, not controller firmware (pointers only; binaries not copied).
