Security / UI Improvements
• The Secure Installation Guide has been updated to reflect best practices for controlling access to KEPServerEX for administrative and non-administrative users.
• Event Log default column width has been changed to better support HiDPI displays.
• Fixed several abbreviation and truncation issues for ongoing multilingual support.
• Detail View enhancement: “Jump To”
◦ A user can now start typing the item name they wish to navigate to within the detail view, and the server will select that item’s location.
◦ This functionality models Windows Explorer when attempting to find a file in long list of files.
◦ If no item begins with the characters being typed the system will play a default notification sound.
• Changes have been made to alert users to potential security concerns. Several warning dialogs have been added when configuration changes are made that would result in a decreased security posture.

Fixes
• Fixed a memory management routine that could cause heap corruptions.
• Resolved a heap corruption that could crash the runtime for certain drivers. The issue was discovered in a project using the Modbus Ethernet driver.
• Fixed an issue that could affect serial drivers when using Ethernet Encapsulation where drivers could fail the first transmit (TX) if the device reset (RST) the connection. Ethernet Encapsulation will now attempt to reconnect before failing the TX.
|
|
Updates
• Resolved an issue introduced in the 6.5.829.0 release where the driver could stop processing new read requests on existing devices and show the channel level _PendingReads tag as stuck. This usually happened following EFM read attempts that were interleaved with real time reads.
• Corrected an issue introduced in the 6.6.348.0 release where the driver could endlessly retry if receiving responses (noise) but with no valid data from the device.
• Enhanced the driver to support an older version of firmware for liquid meters, which corresponds to ABB extradata.ini revision #52.

Guardlogix L43S
Fixed an issue with reading arrays from Guardlogix L43S Controllers.
|
|
Connect Attempts
Expanded the Connect Attempts feature introduced for Ethernet Encapsulation in the 6.6.348.0 release to honor the connection timeout when not connected.
|
|
Updates

• Resolved a timing issue that could prevent completion of a Poll.
• Resolved a threading issue that could prevent completion of a Poll.
|
|
Updates
• Added support for enforcing a unique session range per device. This prevents overlaps when the same session directory path is defined for more than one device.
• Added a property to configure the use of Report Command Cyclic Option.
• Resolved an issue with commas or blank lines within a description field in a file used for automatic tag generation. These are now processed completely and correctly.
|

◦ cnc_alarm2
◦ cnc_diagnoss
◦ cnc_rdaxisdata
◦ cnc_setpath cnc_getpath
• Fixed an issue where the Event Log error messages were not reporting the correct error code value.
|
|
Updates
• Added _System tags for _DeviceId and _DevicePort.
• Resolved an issue where EFM uploads failed if more than 50 History Points existed in the device.
|
|
Updates
• Corrected EFM exporter output for Meter Type and Calculation Method using polled device settings.
• Added _System tags for _DeviceAddress and _DevicePort.
|
|
Meter Type
Corrected EFM exporter output for Meter Type and Calculation Method using polled device settings.
|
|
50 History Points
Resolved an issue where EFM uploads failed if more than 50 History Points existed in the device.
|
|
ASDU Tags
Added the Control Sub-Types for Select and Deselect for all ASDU tags.
|
|
Updates
• Added the Control Sub-Types for Select and Deselect for all ASDU tags.
• Fixed an issue where a STARTDT command was not sent when reconnecting after the slave closed the connection.
|
|
Updates
• Resolved an issue where communication failures with certain devices might not set the _Error tag or post a “device not responding” message to the Event Log.
• Added a new polling level setting "Attribute" that will cause objects in the hierarchy to be polled individually. Without this setting, polls of the current level in the hierarchy can fail if any poll at a lower level fails.
|
|
MQTT Agent
Enhanced the MQTT Agent to allow the use of ‘$’ in the first character of the Topic.
|
|
Connect Attempts
Expanded the Connect Attempts feature introduced for Ethernet Encapsulation in the 6.6.348.0 release to honor the connection timeout when not connected.

|
Stored Procedure
Increased the maximum length of a stored procedure parameter from 255 to 1023 characters.
|
|
Updates
• Fixed a memory leak that could occur when a subscription request to monitor an item was rejected by the OPC UA Server. This issue was most apparent with a frequent high volume of "Attempt to add item failed” messages posted in the Event Log.
• Added new OPC UA Security Policy (Basic256Sha256) for client configuration.
• Updated the default Security Policy to use most secure (Basic256Sha256) and to use the message mode “Sign and Encrypt”.
• Updated icons in server browse property to display secure Policies (Green lock icon), deprecated Policies (Yellow lock icon), and insecure Policies (red open-lock icon).
|
|
Updates

• Updated instance certificate signature algorithm to use sha256RSA for new self-signed certificates.
• Changed the instance certificate expiration from ten (10) years to three (3) years.
• Added a pop-up message to warn users when trusting certificates using an unsecure signature algorithm.
|
|
Configuration Change
Resolved an issue where the Scheduler could stop working after a configuration change to a Schedule. This problem was more common when the project was complex and contained a large number of Schedules.
|
|
Updates
• Fixed an issue introduced in 6.4. Now S7 String type tag addresses that do not contain a “.LEN” specifier will function correctly when the PDU size of 240 is negotiated by the device or manually set by the user from the Maximum PDU Size parameter in device properties.
• Added support for Multiple Non-Redundant 400 CPUs.
