105 12.12.2014 New function:
- Profibus FMS perforrnance enhancement.
Solved problems:
- Huge configurations with more than 240 devices and 6000 data
blocks caused an address range overrun on Windows 7 64 bit
systems. S7A driver process address range was reduced by
reducing the thead stack size from 1Mb to 256k per thread.
- Malfunction of Profibus FMS configurations with two CIF cards.
- Device statistics form could cause a crash of the S7A Power Tool
- When S7M compatible I/O address mode was selected, the last
byte of a data block of type BYTE was not addressable by a client
(iFIX or OPC)
104 23.10.2014 Solved problems:
- Bit addresses in the data monitor (e.g. M0.5) displayed the value
of the first bit (0) of the addressed byte.
- In redundand configurations the automatic switch back to the
primary device or to the master device failed when more than one
device was configured in the channel.
103 23.07.2014 Solved problems:
- The sporadic AGLink error “-1267:Data currently not available”
doesn’t cause a COMM error within the iFIX alarm system any
more. This error occured in particular at data blocks with AG State
and AG Info addresses.
- On CSV-File import the device slot number was not imported
properly but the slot number was set to the default value 2.
- Fall back from backup to primary device failed when the primary
and backup device had configured different TCP port numbers.
- The selected PLC type “S7-1500" always changed back to S7-
300/400.
102 02.06.2014 New functions:
- Additional properties page “Debug” in the Power Tool’s Setup
dialog. All debug options now can be set “on the fly”, means any
change in the debug settings takes effect immediately.
Solved problems:
When nio simulation mode was set “On”, then the data block’s
quality bits were not set properly.
101c 23.05.2014 Solved problems:
- When a client (e.g. iFIX) continuously sends more write
commands than the driver and the PLC(s) can process, then the
number of pending write requests in the write queue increases
until the limit of the shared memory was reached. At this point the
entire processing of the write requests was blocked.
101b 19.05.2014 Solved problems:
- An import of an exported configuration file (CSV format) failed
due to invalid resource id values in a S7 TCP/IP device.
-The driver now accepts the CSV separation characters “,” or “;” for
the CSV import files, independent on how the list separation
character is set in the system’s regional settings.
- The FDL device flag value was exported wrong.
101a 11.04.2014 Solved problem:
In certain circumstances a driver data block could hang, means it
was not polled anymore.
