How much work is required to upgrade a system depends on the age of the system. The comments below will let you know what is required for most upgrades, if your question is not answered please contact techsupport.

Controllers:

1. Systems with H29 model numbers can be upgraded directly to H30 controllers, no extra change is required.

2. H29 and H30 model number controllers can be upgraded to accept more accessories, to a maximum of 2 filter wheels, 1 stage (encoded), 1 focus (encoded), 3 shutters, and a 4th axis (encoded), and trigger board. Contact tech support with your upgrade request.

3. ES9 model number controllers can be upgraded to accept more accessories to a maximum of 2 filter wheels, 1 stage 1 focus (encoded) and 3 shutters.
