The Ultimate Guide to the New MCGS HMI USB Driver: Installation, Troubleshooting, and Updates

Part 5: How to Update from Legacy Driver to the New MCGS USB Driver

Many factories operate on older machines. Updating the driver does not require updating the HMI firmware. Here is the safe migration path:

  1. Backup your project: Upload the current project from the HMI to your PC using an SD card (not USB) as a precaution.
  2. Uninstall the old suite: Use a tool like USBDeview to remove old MCGS USB entries completely.
  3. Install the new driver as outlined in Part 3.
  4. Reboot and test download with a non-production HMI first.

Important: The new driver is backward compatible with all MCGS hardware manufactured after 2012. For units older than 2012 (e.g., TPC-7062K with ARM9 processor), stick to the legacy driver or upgrade the HMI. mcgs hmi usb driver new

4. Multi-Device Support

The new driver integrates composite device support, allowing one PC to communicate with up to 8 MCGS HMIs simultaneously via USB hubs – essential for production line batch updates. The Ultimate Guide to the New MCGS HMI

Step 4: Manual Installation via Device Manager

  1. Connect your MCGS HMI to the PC via a quality USB Type-B (printer) cable.
  2. When the "Found New Hardware" wizard appears, select Browse my computer for drivers.
  3. Navigate to the folder containing the MCGS_New_Driver.inf file.
  4. Click Install anyway if warned.
  5. Wait for the confirmation: "Device installed successfully."

3. How to Download a Project (The Connection Test)

Once the driver is installed, you must configure the communication settings to download your HMI program. Backup your project: Upload the current project from

  1. Open your Project in MCGS software.
  2. Click the Download (下载) button (usually a downward arrow icon).
  3. A "Download Configuration" or "Communication Settings" box will pop up.
  4. Connection Type: Select USB (or TCP/IP if using Ethernet).
  5. COM Port:
    • If using a USB-to-Serial cable, check Device Manager to see which COM port was assigned (e.g., COM3, COM5). Select that port in the MCGS download window.
    • If using the direct USB driver, the software often auto-detects the port labeled "MCGS USB".
  6. Baud Rate: usually set to 115200 or 9600 (try 115200 first for newer models).
  7. Click Start Download.
  8. Crucial Step: If the HMI screen is on, you may need to restart the HMI or tap the "Download" button on the HMI's startup screen if it has a dedicated menu system.

Part 7: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q2: Can I use the same driver for all MCGS models?

A: Almost. The new driver supports TPC, TPS, and EM series. It does not support very old MCGS GP-series (those with 9-pin serial only).

Step 1: Disable Driver Signature Enforcement (Temporarily – Only if Needed)

Note: The new driver may still require this on older versions of Windows 10 (<2004).

  1. Hold Shift and click Restart from the Start Menu.
  2. Go to Troubleshoot > Advanced Options > Startup Settings > Restart.
  3. Press F7 (Disable driver signature enforcement).
  4. Windows will boot. Install the driver now.

2. Virtual COM Port Mode (Advanced)

  • The HMI appears as a standard serial port (e.g., COM5).
  • Allows third-party applications (like MATLAB or Node-RED) to read tags via Modbus over USB.
  • To activate: Modify the MCGSUSB.ini file inside the driver folder. Set VirtualCom=1.

Warning: Do not enable Virtual COM mode unless you are an advanced user, as it can conflict with physical RS232 ports.
