Features

  • Added support for four new M1E momentums, which include: 171 CCS 960 20, 171 CCS 960 30, 171 CCS 980 20, and 171 CCS 980 30.
  • Added support for BOOTP server for M1E and Quantum PLCs that support TCP/IP.
  • Added feature to the Addresses Used dialog for the address appearing in the ‘Start Address’ edit box to default to the address on which the ladder cursor is positioned.
  • Added the ‘Edit Segment Header’ icon to now appear at the top of each network, which allows the user to edit the Segment Header from any network in the Segment.
  • Added feature to locate the cursor at the mouse pointer when the right mouse button is clicked.

Solutions

  • Corrected problem where connecting online to a 984A-S908 PLC resulted in a GPF.
  • Corrected problem where The Program Setup dialog allowed a maximum of 12 rows for Tags and 4 rows for Descriptions. These maximum values were be swapped.
  • Corrected problem where the Browse dialog of Modsoft import was filtering for files ending in ‘MSE’. The .MSE extension was used as a default, which caused no files in the Browse dialog. The dialog of the Modsoft import now uses the *.* filter which displays files of all extensions.
  • Corrected problem where typing in a file path and name in the Export dialog displayed a “File name must be entered’ error.
  • Corrected problem where the Start Address edit box in the Addresses Used dialog always assumed 6-digit addressing regardless of the size selected in Program Setup.
  • Corrected problem where program Merge was not bringing over Segment Headers.
  • Corrected problem when displaying the ‘Copy’ dialog from the Doc Window, the static text within the dialog says ‘Merge Program Merge Program’ instead of ‘Copy Range’.

PLC WorkShop for Modicon v5.16 Release Notes

Features

  • Corrected problem where Program Setup allowed Data Window max rows to be more than 1000. The max allowed is 1000. When more was entered, scrolling beyond 1000 caused a GPF.
  • Corrected problem when we get a TCP/IP error code of over 9, we reported an unknown error to the user.
  • Corrected problem where exporting labels from 32-bit PLC WorkShop to FT-DOS files (or “Saving As” to the FT-DOS format) shifted the 2nd line of the DOS label by 2 chars and the 3rd line of the label by 4 chars.
  • Corrected problem where comparing Configuration Extension does not catch all mismatches.

Solutions
