PLC WorkShop Suite for Siemens 505 v3.20 SP6 Release Notes

Features

  • Added a warning message while importing a TISoft file if number of Control Relays should be 1023 (or 511 depending on PLC type) and displayed as 32. TISoft will improperly display the number of Control Relays. User is prompted to open the file in TISoft and re-write the memory configuration (the user does not have to re-enter a value for any memory type).

Solutions

  • Corrected problem where editing documentation (CNTL-L) for a blank address, then entering an address with known existing documentation, documentation would not appear.
  • Corrected problem where printing Tags and Descriptions, only partial tags would print.
  • Corrected panel display for Run/Program for proper wording.
  • Corrected wording for a Remote Base Diagnostic error message.
  • Corrected problem in the “Find” drop-down list to correctly display last four addresses searched for.
  • Corrected problem when shading a network to copy and paste into a new network- horizontal shorts are kept.
  • Corrected problem with calculating TI_MOVE to include floating points.
  • Corrected problem with adding coils with pre-existing header documentation. When coil address is changed, existing header documentation (if any) is properly displayed.
  • Corrected problem with pasting duplicate Tags in to the Documentation window and dislaying an error message. Duplicate Tages are now checked for prior to adding them to the documentation list.
  • Corrected problem where doing a Find for output instructions (such as NOP or END) will properly display them in the their correct column.
  • Corrected problem with performing Global Find and not clearing the instruction type from a previous search.
  • Corrected problem where printing to a text file now includes Tags of less than multiple lines’ length.
  • Corrected problem where clicking on a string of text greater than 40 characters after receiving an error message. Text can now be edited to remove the extra characters.
  • Corrected problem where Read Only mode was not allowing attach Online with Doc only.
  • Corrected problem where long file and Network Headers with embedded carriage returns or line feeds will properly display.
  • Corrected problem with displaying the proper options of the Import Documentation window when selecting a particular format.
  • Corrected problem with exporting documentation to TISoft where all address types will have documentation. TISoft only imports values for C’s and Y’s; export now only will export to these value types.
  • Corrected problem where files using shared documentation would display an error during a save. Save function no longer checks for this documentation.
  • Corrected problem with importing international characters. Now supported.
  • Corrected problem when importing special function programs (SFPs) from TISoft when byte 253 was used.
  • Corrected problem when importing TISoft files and not reading a current cross-reference table. Table will now display as being not current upon import.
  • Corrected problem when importing Synonyms and Descriptors from a TISoft file. Import now terminates at the proper number of characters per the .syn file.
  • Corrected problem with memory leaks when merging U-memory.
  • Corrected problem when copying and pasting real addresses with no bits and their documentation.
  • Corrected problem when cancelling the build of the cross-reference table would disable logic Status while on-line.
  • Corrected problem when importing TISoft files that have 10 MOVE boxes in parallel.
  • Corrected problem with “Logic Store Record not found.”
  • Corrected problem with ladder memory doubling in size. Error would occur when a file is loaded on-line, then saved, then attaching again with the same file and saving by parts twice.
  • Corrected problem when undoing a network while off-line and the listbox not displaying the proper order of networks to be undone.
  • Corrected problem when editing documentation within a SFP and a real address is being used; user no longer receives “An Invalid Char was Entered.”
  • Corrected problem when deleting a network while on-line, user will be warned of a program change when exiting.
  • Corrected problem when performing a Find in a network, then in a Special Function, option for network address will not be selected but grayed out.
