Features

• Added four new reports including:
  • I/O Symbol Table – lists the I/O Symbol Names and the direct addresses to which they are assigned
  • Device Table – lists Device names, types, and descriptions
  • Declarations Table – lists Declarations, their type, descriptions, and direct addresses if they are assigned
  • Recipes Table – lists Recipes by name, and the Recipe Templates from which they are derived
• A new setting in the Configuration Editor automatically creates a Hardware Debugger file when a Project is compiled. If desired, this default setting can be overridden at the time of compilation.
• Any change of the CPU operational mode while downloading a Project is identified in the Download Report. This listing documents actions such as stopping the processor to accept a forced compile of a Project.
• A progress bar has been added to indicate the progress of the solution being loaded.
• The last-opened Solution automatically loads the next time FTSolution is launched.

Solutions

• Cross Reference
  • Application no longer crashes when user repeatedly presses Find button without waiting for the result of finding cross references to show up.
  • User can now cancel Find Cross References operation.
•  Report
  • Cross References report is no longer added to the project Reports folder, whether it was generated for the Cross References search in Program-Level, or unit level. With this fix, if user selects to search for Cross References in the entire program (Program-Level option of Look in control of Cross References window), and chooses to generate a report for the search results – the report will be added under project Report folder. If, however, user selects to search for Cross References in a specific unit and chooses to generate a report for the search results – the report will be added under the unit Report folder.
  • With this fix, a Report node for a report file overriding a report with the same name that exists locally, but was excluded from the project, is no longer added under a Miscellaneous folder node. It is now added to the appropriate Report folder node (program/unit).

Solutions

• Compile Report
  • Fixed incorrectly reported count of Y addresses used as CR (when none was used) in summary of memory requirements of Compile Report.
• Configuration Editor
  • Fixed incorrect errors displayed in the Configuration Editor regarding non-Retentive and Retentive Reserved Locations. The errors now display the correct non-Retentive and Retentive Reserved Locations allowed ranges.
• Cross Reference
  • Search for references to all symbols (“*”) no longer results in crash in a large program.
  • Cross Reference no longer displays the full local file path of the project file containing the reference. The project relative path will now be displayed.
• Declaration Editor
  • Previously, renaming a Declaration file and adding a Declaration would cause “The operation could not be completed. The parameter is incorrect.” error on the save of the Declaration file. Once the file was reopened, the added Declaration wouldn’t be in the file, and a Declaration with the same name could not be re-added. This release corrects this behavior such that renaming a Declaration file followed by adding a declaration and saving the renamed file will complete without error and without the added declaration going missing.
• Full Compile
  • Subroutine recursive calls exceeding 4 levels deep is no longer allowed, consistent with APT. If recursive calls deeper than 4 levels is detected, the (incremental or full) compilation will fail with an error message.
  • User is no longer required to have at least one reserved location from non-retentive C addresses in order to set user-assigned address for Boolean for Retentive C.
  • User will no longer get Potential PCS\PLC Mismatch warning whenever compiling a program with a user-assigned tagged Declaration unless the address of the PCS Tag has changed from the last compile.
• Incremental Compile
  • When the program was downloaded incrementally after it had been compiled incrementally more than once since the last download, the order of the downloaded commands required the PLC switch between Edit and Run multiple times. Incremental download commands generated by an Incremental Compile are now optimized to avoid multiple PLC transitions from Run to Edit and Edit to Run.
  • Incremental Compile no longer fails when a unit is renamed.
  • Incremental compile validation will no longer fail with error “Conflict between Y and CRs: unable to do an incremental compile” when Y addresses have not been allocated as CR addresses.
• Incremental Download
  • Fixed “Unknown network error (Cannot Display Network)” when downloading to the 505 simulator.
•  Report
  • Download Reports now include Communication Type (TCP/IP address or COM port number) information.
  • When generating multiple Cross Reference reports from the same open Cross Reference window, Cross Reference report files were added under the Miscellaneous Files solution folder, instead of adding those files under the project’s Report folder. This release fixes this behavior by adding Cross Reference report files under the projects Report folder.
  • Fixed an error of Boolean type shown in Address-to-Symbol and Symbol-to-Address reports shown as Bool, as well as Boolean. It will show as Bool from now on.
  • The user was not given the option to provide a different filename for a report after being alerted that a file with the same name exists and they decline overriding the existing file. This release fixes this behavior by keeping the Select Report(s) To Generate dialog open, to allow the user to provide a different report filename.
• Solutions Management
  • Commands for Compile, Download, Debug and Exit Debug were only available if a Project node or Compile node was selected in Solution Explorer. These commands are now available regardless of which project node is selected.
  • Compiler-generated file, CompiledPCSTags, is no longer shown on the solution tree.
• Version Control Integration
  • Check In of a Declaration table file no longer results in Check Out of a Solution file.
  • Adding an I/O symbol in the I/O Module Editor required the user to manually Check Out the I/O Symbols file. This release adds support to automatically check out and update the I/O Symbols file when adding an I/O symbol in I/O Module Editor.
  • Changes to Process Groups required the user to manually check out the Process Groups file. This release adds support to automatically check out the Process Groups file whenever Process Groups are edited.
  • Changes to communication setup required the user to manually check out the Communication Setup file. This release adds support to automatically check out the Communication Setup file whenever this file edited.
  • Changes to the Object File Report required the user to manually Check Out the Object File Report. This release adds support to automatically check out the Object File Report upon making changes to it by the compiler.
  • Changes to the Download Report required the user to manually Check Out the Download Report. Changes to the Cross Reference Report required the user to manually Check Out the Cross Reference Report. This release adds support to automatically check out the Download Report Report and/or the Cross Reference Report upon making changes to either file.

Features

• Five object code reports are available after successful project compilation. These reports include:
  • Address to Symbol report alphabetically lists all used direct addresses with their associated Symbol, Symbol Type, and project scope.
  • Symbol to Address report alphabetically lists all Symbols with their associated direct address and Symbol Type grouped by project scope.
  • SFC Cross Reference report lists the main SFC with its related safe-state and subordinate SFCs.
  • SFC Steps and Transitions report lists all Steps and Transitions, with their associated direct control relay addresses.
  • SFC/CFC Math report lists all SFC and CFC Math blocks, with their corresponding addresses and related Special Function programs.

Solutions

• Application Interface
  • Find Address operation used to be disabled unless the Project is selected. In this software release, Find Address context menu and toolbar options are available to user upon selecting any file or folder within a project.
  • Renaming Communication Setup file is not allowed. However, in prior software releases, renaming Communication Setup file was enabled, but failed without any message to the user. In current software release, renaming Communication Setup file is disabled.
  • For FTSolution files that can be renamed, if the new name included a hyphen or a space, the renaming would fail with no message to the user. In current software release, user is allowed to include spaces and/or hyphens in the new file names.
  • Renaming 505 IO Modules file is not allowed. However, in prior software releases, renaming 505 IO Modules file was enabled, but failed without any message to the user. In current software release, renaming 505 IO Modules file is disabled.

  • Fixed an error of Low Select CFC command having an invalid .OUT extension when the output of Low Select is an Analog Output.
  • Removed unused SFS(s) created for an Inswitch Select which only needs an RLL Subroutine.
  • Fixed mismatch between declared array size and the number of array values generated. This mismatch was causing a fatal internal compiler error in prior releases.
  • In full compile, update addresses of PCS-tagged objects if the reserved locations have changed. At the start of the compile, user is warned that translated addresses will be changed. Upon successful compilation, this warning is also written to the compile report.
  • Improved HMI read efficiency by allocating addresses of aliases of tagged objects extensions before non-tagged extensions.
  • Fixed “Out of Retentive CRs” error when doing a full compile of a project.
  • Fixed “Could not find file …\Compile.arpt” compile error.
• Full Download
  • Removed link to Validation Services.
• Incremental Compile
  • Create Hardware Debugger File build option, previously only enabled for full compile, is now available for incremental compile.
  • Fixed the error of running out of timers/counters on incremental compile.
  • Deleting an object after compiling, and then adding a new object with the same name as object that has been deleted in the same scope no longer generates an internal compiler error on incremental compile.
  • Fixed an error of incremental compile running infinitely when the number of networks in the program is exceedingly large (in the program in which the defect was found – over 71K).
  • Fixed an error in downloading the wrong opcodes for the new or modified CFC commands.
  • Deleting the most recent incremental object file no longer causes a fatal internal compiler error.
•  PCS
  • When High Select CFB is marked for PCS tagging, extensions .IN1 and .OUTPUT are now available for marking and are no longer missing.
• Profibus I/O
  • Fixed error of “Freeze/Sync” and “Lock/Unlock” bits being swapped in the slave parameter byte in the Profibus configuration sent to the CPU.
• Recipe Template Editor
  • Cross References now can be launched when a Recipe Template is selected. In previous software version, when a Recipe Template was selected, selecting Cross References from a toolbar or a context menu option had no effect.
• Solutions Management
  • Fixed the “Object reference not set to an instance of an object” error when trying to open a program in software version 1.3.6 that was compiled in software version prior to 1.3.6.
  • Fixed an error of being unable of open a project if the object file has been deleted outside the FTSolution IDE.
• Version Control Integration
  • Fixed “Write access to object file denied” error on successful download, if the program is controlled by FTVersionTrak repository and an object file is checked in prior to the download operation.
  • Downloaded Program file Object.adpo is no longer generated by successful download, nor is it tracked by a repository.

Solutions

  • Added a warning to the user that software versions earlier than 1.3.6 will no longer be able to download object files created by software version 1.3.6 or greater.
  • Due to above fixes to calculations of user-reserved locations and compiler-reserved locations for PCS tags, checks were added to prevent download and/or incremental compile of the programs that may have erroneous address calculations. If a program has been compiled in a software version 1.3.5 or earlier, and it has PCS tags or user-reserved locations, then:
    • The user will get a warning recommending a full compile every time the user opens the solution containing such program, until the program is fully compiled in software version 1.3.6 or greater.
    • The user will be prevented from downloading such program and will get an error requesting full compile.
    • If the user attempts to incrementally compile such program, the compile will fail and the user will get an error requesting full compile.

The errors and the warnings will no longer appear once the program has been successfully recompiled fully.
