Added DST156 ($QueueFull) - used by FIFOLOAD and LIFOLOAD.

 

2.9.3

18-Mar-2022

Fixed a problem in SGRSTR (Stage Reset Range) where some of the selected Stages would not be enabled.

 

2.9.2

7-Mar-2022

Fixed a problem in the C-More Symbolic Driver that would only return the first 4 bytes from a String in a structure.

2.7.2

31-Mar-2020

Fixed a problem in the serial port driver that would inadvertently clear any remaining data from the input buffer when a STREAMIN instruction is executed. This affects the on-board serial port  and any of the SERIO modules because they all use the same serial port driver.

 

2.7.1

25-Mar-2020

Added the following instructions:
STRCOPY - Copy String
STRCOPYR - Copy Range of Strings
RANGECHECK - Value In/Out of Range

1.3.2

9-July-2014

The DM1E CPU can now be configured to power up in RUN mode if the onboard battery is missing or if the battery voltage is too low to maintain the retentive memory through a power cycle.

Fixed a buffer overflow problem when using multiple Email instructions.

DNS Lookup instruction will now return an error if the DNS Lookup operation succeeds but the TCP/IP address is 0.0.0.0.

3.0.6

 

14-May-2014

Made a change to the Watchdog Timer logic to eliminate the potential for spurious watchdog timeouts.

 

1.3.0

1-May-2014

If the Onboard Serial port buffer accumulates more than 1023 bytes of data then $SerFifoOverflow (ST17) will be ON. As data continues to flow into the buffer the oldest bytes will be purged. The serial port's RX LED is now more indicative of activity on the port.

If an attempt to change the PLC mode fails then $ModeChngFailed (DST410) will contain the failure code.

If a runtime exception occurs the CPU will store the return address of the last call before the exception in $DebugTrapAddr (DST411). A non-zero value in this location indicates that a runtime exception occurred and this value may be useful to the Do-more Designer developers.

Added <NUL> character removal to Trim Whitespace (STRTRIM) - in addition to <CR>, <LF>, <TAB>, etc..

Accumulators of Down Timers have a limit of 0; Up Timer Accumulator have a limit of 2,147,483,647; accumulator values will no longer roll over, which were turning off the Timer's .Done bit.

Fixed a problem where the K-Sequence serial protocol would not recognize Slave IDs other than 1.

Improved performance of the handlers for Guest Protocol memory ranges with DirectLOGIC and Modbus slave/server protocols.

Fixed a problem in the validation for Copy Memory (MEMCOPY) instruction.

Better handling of "Termination Scan" between the Enable Task (ENTASK) instruction and corresponding TASK code-block.

  1.0.9

Fixed a problem that did not allow the termination logic for a Task to run if the Task completes and is re-enabled on same PLC scan.

Fixed a problem that only allowed external clients access to locations in the DLV range from DLV0 to DLV7777. The range of acceptable requests now correctly extends from DLV0 to DLV37777.

Fixed a problem where the K-Sequence serial server was always using 1 instead of the configured address.

Fixed a problem where the Rate of Change Alarm (ALRATE) instruction did not correctly set the initial state of its data elements.

Fixed a problem that caused the Copy Memory Range (MEMCOPY) instruction validation would fail when bit arrays are used.

Fixed a problem that caused the Copy Memory Range (MEMCOPY) to incorrectly copy structures.

Fixed a problem that caused the Clear Memory (MEMCLEAR) was not working correctly with certain bit ranges

Changed Scale Value (SCALE) instruction to internally use 64-bit math for integers.

Fixed a problem in STREAMOUT, STREAMIN, STRGETB, STRPUTB, PACKETIN, and PACKETOUT instructions which, in certain cases, would cause them to incorrectly perform range checks on array references.

 

1.0.7

14-Nov-2012

Fixed a problem when using the F2-02DA-2 or F2-02DA-2L in bipolar data format mode with negative data values.

Fixed a problem in the K-Sequence Server so that writes to BIT locations operate properly.

Fixed a problem in the Memory Configuration if the block size of DLX, DLY or DLC exceeded 1024.

The SCALE - Scale Value instruction now internally uses 64-bit math calculations to minimize math overflows.

Made a change to the backplane interface for the H2-ECOM100 to better support native data types.

 

1.0.6

4-Oct-2012

Added $PgmModeRestart (ST15) to distinguish a powering up in Run mode versus a Program mode -to- Run mode transition.

Changes the built-in Program $Main so that it always restarts regardless of whether it powers up in Run mode or goes through a Program mode -to- Run mode transition.

Fixed the KSequence driver handle a problem in accessing KSequence Server memory through an ECOM100.

 

1.0.5

24-Sep-2012

Updated the error message for CTAXCFG (CTRIO2 Axis Configuration) instruction.

Fixed problem where attempting to access a memory location in the K-Sequence Server memory (DLX, DLY, DLC, DLV) that is NOT in the current System Configuration would generate a memory access error. For example, if the K-Sequence memory is configured for the range of DLV0 through DLV1777, and a K-Sequence request for DVL2000 is received, a memory access error is generated.

On a Program Mode -to- Run Mode transition the elements in Force table will no longer be set to the values in the force table if the Force table contains entries but the Force table itself has been disabled.

3.0.4
