PLC WorkShop for Modicon v5.30 Release Notes

Posted: 5/16/2002

Features

  • Added Graphical Symbol representations in Ladder Logic for contacts and coils.
  • Added Password Security to the application allowing a System Administrator to be used in setting up users with proper rights.

Solutions

  • Corrected problem where in the TCP/IP comm. Setup, and network scan the user could not enter a 0 for any part of the IP address.
  • Corrected problem where the CR/LF was not recognized during the import of the Modsoft Segment/Network Comment file.
  • Corrected problem when a DX Zoom is done on an instruction, and the instruction contains a 0x discrete, which appears in the zoom window, the 0x discretes cannot be changed to a value of 1. The zoom window will always display a value of 0, even if it is a 1.
  • Corrected problem of being unable to attach Online to older 424 Quantums. Error message “Cannot get object from array” was occurring. Attach to other 424s was OK.
  • Corrected problem where the TCOP module 170-AMM-090 for a Momentum 170CC980-20 did not appear in the TCOP if it was originally entered via Modicon Concept software v2.5.
  • Corrected problem where the output addresses of Quantum TCOP modules with mixed 16 bit inputs and 8 bit outputs, such as (DDM390, DAM390, DAM490, DAM590) could not be configured on BYTE boundaries.
  • Corrected problem where the user was not able to get Online to the TSX Compacts when his key was programmed for Compacts Only. It did work for Offline.
  • Corrected problem where when pasting with rewire at the End of a segment in continuous mode, the network always went to the first network in the segment.
  • Corrected problem where when doing CTRL-L into the documentation editor, in 5-digit address mode, the doc editor did not display the address correctly.
  • Corrected problem where online with a Quantum and adding a NEQN in the last network and cursor off the instruction caused a “Search Failed” error.
  • Corrected problem where opening a FasTrak DOS “.PGR” file containing Peer Cop, did not import the PCOP correctly.
  • Corrected problem where powerflow on a parallel coil did not display correctly.
  • Corrected problem where going online to a Quantum that contained a program with PCOP, and Head 0, was showing Head 65535 for the Global and Specific I/O with no proper entries. When going in those locations, an error message occurred “Empty Parameter String”.
  • Corrected problem where a lengthy Segment or Network header without Carriage Returns, did not wrap while viewing the Logic Window. The first line appeared and continued to run off the right edge of the window.
  • Corrected problem where the Tag and Description column widths used to display these items in the Edit Documentation dialog did not match the way these items are displayed in the ladder window cells depending on the font type used.
  • Corrected problem where the Online Status and Powerflow stopped displaying when doing the following: With Logic Status and Powerflow turned on, double click on an address on a contact. This puts the cursor in edit mode. Then click off it. The Status and PF no longer display, and they are checked on but grayed out in the menu.
  • Corrected problem where the Network Cross Reference of a network number in any Segment greater than Segment 10, actually did the Net XREF for that network number in Segment 1.
