Gateway, NHST-T100-DP/DPM
(http://www.hilscher.com/en/products/product-groups/gateways/for
-the-control-cabinet-ip20/lan-gateways/nhst-t100-dpdpm/?&techCa
ts=2) allows to integrate the PROFIBUS DP into virtualized
systems.
Fixed issues:
- Hardware options for strings did not work for symbolic addresses.
- Symbolic addresses which contained a dot were rejected by the
S7A address parser.
113 10.12.2015 Fixed issue:
- When NIO simulation mode was On, all analog tags were
displayed as bad values.
112 20.11.2015 New function:
- New signal conditioning function “S5TXSWAP” swaps the order
of the characters within a S5 data word. This option can be used
only for text blocks on S5 TCP/IP channels!
Fixed issues:
- In redundant 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.
- A data block of a S5 TCP/IP channel could hang if an odd
number of characters was written to a string variable.
111 12.11.2015 Fixed issues:
- iFIX Workspace could crash when picture contained a alarm
summary control which had the A_IOAD field configured as user
defined column and an alarm with a S7A I/O address was active.
- Bit write operation to a S5 data block failed when Block Write
Mode was set to “Automatic”.
- A !Poll or !SyncPoll Request from iFIX could cause an error in
iFIX Workspace when the Poll request was sent while a regular
(cyclic) read request was pending.
New functions:
- Driver now shows detailed error information for FMS errors.
- New Signal Conditioning Function LBHB which allows to
read/write two consecutive Bytes of a FMS Object as an unsigned
16 bit word.
