Changed

섹션 제목: “Changed”
  • Enhanced the UI for the Property Editor and added standard and advanced modes.
  • Enhanced the UI for the Command Editor window to make it easier to edit single commands.
  • Portal rejects installing projects larger than 250MB.
  • Momentary buttons now only have two states/images, reflecting whether the object is pressed or not.

Gateway

섹션 제목: “Gateway”

Added

섹션 제목: “Added”
  • The Modbus TCP Client and RTU Master drivers can now force single write commands to be used, in order to support devices which do handle multi-write requests.
    • All databases will now be restricted when there is less than 5% available space in the local storage.

    • Historical databases from previous versions will now be converted to the updated format.

Fixed

섹션 제목: “Fixed”
  • CIMON UA Net Client and CIMON UA Bus Master drivers:
    • Fixed a crash when writing to Boolean tags in the D area which use a bit number 10—15 (Hexadecimal A—F).
  • Databases:
    • Fixed a crash on i.MX8-based platforms caused by a bad_cast exception, where the LP64 address model caused issues with the SOCI library.
  • Recipe:
    • The schema validation is now better defined and default values are appropriately handled.
  • Alarms:
    • Alarms will now immediately attempt to perform their comparison, fixing an edge case where the trigger tag's value was initialized before the alarm subscription was made.
    • Alarms will now validate their trigger/comparison tags in the event that a non-existent/deleted tag is referenced (avoids a crash).
  • The OPC UA Client driver will now perform an explicit read request for newly monitored items, guaranteeing that their values get initialized.
    • This is to better support the OPC UA Servers managed by CODESYS, which will sometimes send a PublishResponse before the CreateMonitoredItemResponse.
  • In the Allen-Bradley EtherNet/IP driver, tags targeting a Boolean array will now behave correctly when an index above 31 is used.
  • In the BACnet/IP driver, the Max APDU field is now correctly specified in outgoing requests.

Changed

섹션 제목: “Changed”
  • The base datatypes used for holding tag values have been updated to use fixed-width integer types, which should have more consistent behavior across different platforms.
  • Alarms will now only evaluate themselves upon an update to the trigger value.
  • Alarm trigger values can now only be a tag, removing support for constant and expression values.
  • The expression evaluation system was greatly simplified, which should result in better performance.
  • The project parsers have been overhauled in order to streamline how validation works for all classes.
  • The "invalidProject" property is now checked before parsing the provided project files.
  • Clamping has been updated to match schema changes, where the "Reject" options are now performed when using "No Clamp".
    • The Engineering Min and Max numbers will now always be used to either reject or clamp incoming write request values, where before the data type's min/max were used.
  • Read-after-write requests are now considered part of the request, and so both the write and read-after-write request(s) will need to be completed before gateway will perform a callback.
    • This should make scenarios where the driver's one-time request queue size limit is exceeded still deliver value updates to the HMI/user.
  • When running in simulator mode on Windows, an exit can now be triggered by providing some input to the console.
