Crash Dumps
The Application Report Utility now collects crash dumps for the Config API Service.
|
|
Reinitialization
Added a project runtime reinitialization service available at /project/services/Reinitializeruntime
|
|
Initial Load
Fixed an issue where initial load for tags was slow if the tag data type was Default. This initial load time mainly affected iFIX application configurations containing recipe or batch writes.
|
|
Licensing
• Added the ability to copy the activation ID through a context menu.
• Refined some of the wording and terminology to improve clarity.
|
|
Security
• Updated to the latest version of OpenSSL for improved security.
• Configuration API now defaults to 1.2 and higher for TLS connections.
• New installations require a 14-character minimum password when a password is set.
|
|
Alias Map / Ethernet Encapsulation / Advanced Statistics
• Alias Map: Fixed an issue introduced in 6.7 where client items that contained periods in the Alias Map portion of the item path would fail item validation.
• Ethernet Encapsulation (serial drivers): Added an event log message to indicate if threads cannot be created. This can occur if the server reaches the thread limit for a process
• Advanced Statistics: The _LateData tag no longer increments on connection loss (DNRs).
|
|
EFM Rollback / Error Handling
• Added option to rollback EFM data based on the physical device pointer (this is in addition to the currently supported functionality to rollback EFM data based on the driver cached pointer).
• Improved error handling to pass additional third-party toolkit communication error messages to the event log.
|
|
Firmware V32
Added support for ControlLogix firmware V32, which includes support for the CompactLogix 5400 model.
|
|
Scan Rate
Resolved an issue where the driver did not set the configured tag Scan Rate for tags imported from a file.
|
|
Numeric Item IDs
Fixed an issue introduced in 6.7 where string Numeric Item IDs were no longer supported. Customers using previous versions with existing projects that used string IDs are not able to upgrade to V6.7 but can upgrade to 6.8.
|
|
OperateWithParams
Added a new operate command OperateWithParams that allows the user to specify all the CROB settings in a single tag write.

OperateWithParams
Added a new operate command OperateWithParams that allows the user to specify all the CROB settings in a single tag write.
|
|
Polling
• The _Polling internal tag now accurately reflects when polling is complete.This resolves an issue where the _Polling tag could return to 0 before the _LastPollEnd tag was updated. Now the _LastPollEnd tag is updated at the same time as the _Polling tag.
• Resolved an issue where EFM polls could fail to complete.
|
|
cnc_rdprgnum
Added the ability to read the program number currently selected on the device cnc_rdprgnum.
|
|
Rollback Pointer
Added a pointer rollback to retrieve lost data from a device. If the device’s cache pointer is valid, rollback will be applied to cache pointer, otherwise the rollback will be applied to the current device pointer.
|
|
Symbolic Type Tags / String Data Type
• Enhanced the driver to support the ability to Read and Write Symbolic type tags when OEM Protection is enabled in the physical controller.
• Resolved an issue with reading String data type format for register-based address types R, P, L, W, AI, and AQ.
|
|
On Change
Agents can be configured to only send updates in which the value has changed, ignoring quality-only changes.
|
|
New Delay
Added a user-configurable delay that allows the device to populate dynagraph tags before the server tries reading the values.
|
|
Omni Model
Added support for monthly report generation for the Omni model.
|
|
Automatic Tag Generation (ATG)
Resolved an issue where the dimensions of arrays of nested structures were not correctly handled when tags were created by Automatic Tag Generation (ATG).
|
|
_Error
Fixed an issue where the driver would not set the _Error and related system tags when unable to establish a connection to a UA Server.
|
|
Updates
• ProgramBlock and DataBlock Tags now have comments exported similar to PLC Tags for all supported TIA project versions.
• Exporter Project Parsing Timeout default increased from 5 minutes to 10 minutes to better handle large project sizes.
• Overall performance improved as well as other user interface enhancements to improve performance and reliability.
|
|
MID Support
Added support for MID’s 216-218 relay function data.
|
|
Tricon Extended
Added support for a Tricon Extended model that allows for larger tag address ranges.
|
|
New CRC
Added support for DCE3 (16-bit), a new CRC.
