|
2.9.7 |
2 May 2023 |
Added support for Rev 2C / 2D and 2E / 2F BRX hardware. Fixed a proble with some of the timeouts in the TCP stack that could cause new TCP server connections to hang for a very long time, making it look like the stack was permanently hung. So far, this has only been observed in unreliable connections ( like over cell modems, radio modems, etc. ). Fixed a problem in the EIP adapter to allow the UDP connection to continue after the TCP connect was dropped. JSONPARSE now removes any whitespace after the ending double quote.
Added support for RAW memory access to the REST API for use when
Strings contain JSON, this allows you to get the raw JSON without
the quotes. |
|
|
2.9.6 |
5 Aug 2022 |
Fixed a problem where the CPU would wrongly return an error to a
C-More panel when using the Symbolic Driver to write to a String
tag. |
|
|
2.9.5 |
21 Jun 2022 |
Fixed a problem in the Modbus server where communication through
unstable networks ( like cell modem, radio modems, etc. ) could
leave the server in an unresponsive state. |
|
|
2.9.4 |
18 May 2022 |
Fixed a problem in the C-More Symbolic Driver (and REST API) that prevented proper indexing of blocks of structures. Fixed a problem when using MEMCLEAR of a nested structure. EIPMSG can now use a 32 bit Instance ID. Made the following additions: Added DST156 ($QueueFull) - used by FIFOLOAD and LIFOLOAD. |
|
|
2.9.3 |
18 Mar 2022 |
Fixed a problem in SGRSTR (Stage Reset Range) where some of the selected Stages would not be enabled. |
|
|
2.9.2 |
7 Mar 2022 |
Fixed a problem in the C-More Symbolic Driver (and REST API) that would only return the first 4 bytes from a String in a structure. Serial Port configuration (RS-232 vs RS-485) now propogates correctly if you change the PLC CPU type. |
|
1.1.0 |
2.9.1 |
17 Feb 2022 |
Added the following instructions: MSREGRD - Modbus Scanner I/O Register Read (BRX Only) MSREGWT - Modbus Scanner I/O Register Write (BRX Only) HSCNT - High Speed Counting(BRX Only) HSEDGE - Precise Edge to Edge Timing (BRX Only) HSPULSEC - Catch Pulse Input (BRX Only) Made the following additions: Modbus I/O Scanner (BRX Only). Nested Structures with User Data Types. Added support for Rev 2A / 2B BRX hardware. Added DST412 ($AssertCode) Added DST413 ($ForceMinScan). Fixed a problem in the DMX512 protocol that would not send all of the bytes of a frame if the PLC scan time was sufficiently long. Fixed a problem in the DMX512 server implementation that, in rare cases, would write beyond the end of the target buffer. The CPU will now reset the Ethernet core if the Ethernet port
ever becomes unresponsive for a sufficiently long time. |
|
|
2.8.6 |
26 May 2021 |
Fixed a problem in the TCP/IP stack that could cause problems if
the BRX CPU received a subnet broadcast for a network it was not
configurted to be a part of. Because the problem was in the TCP/IP
stack itself, it could show up in systems using Modbus/TCP, and/or
EtherNet/IP, and/or configured to use the Ethernet I/O Master. The
most common sympton was that communication with the remote devices
would stop with no error indication. |
|
|
2.8.5 |
8 Apr 2021 |
Fixed a problem in FTPPUT when the 'Use Unique Filename in Remote Directory' option was selected. FTPPUT was not properly handling responses from the FTP Server and would incorrectly report an error even though the instruction worked. The FmtString function in STRPRINT now properly supports negative
timer accumulator values. |
|
1.0.10 |
2.8.4 |
29 Jan 2021 |
Fixed a problem that could keep links using a BX-P-SER2-RJ12 or BX-P-SER2-TERMFC POM that require RTS/CTS flow control from working. Fixed a problem in v1.0.9 GA that caused comm problems for a C-More HMI panel connected to a BX-P-SER2-RJ12 POM. Fixed a problem that could cause a watchdog timeout if a serial port POM was removed while the POM was still sending or receiving data. Fixed a problem that would prevent a DM1E CPU that has no TCP/IP configuration from properly responding to broadcast packets. Fixed a problem in the FTP Client to handle multiple packets from
a server in response to entering the password. |
|
1.0.9 |
|
19 Jan 2021 |
Fixed a problem that could keep links that use a BX-P-USB POM
from working again after disconnecting from the CPU. |
|
|
2.8.3 |
13 Jan 2021 |
Fixed a problem with routing in the Ethernet stack that could prevent the BRX CPUs from working properly through VPNs or gateways. Termination logic is now executed for the entire project on Run -to- Program mode changes. Added termination logic processing to the Halt Program or Task (HALT) instruction. Fixed a problem where termination logic was not being executed for Tasks configured to be recurrent at a non-zero time interval. Fixed a problem where termination logic was not being executed
for RESTART of a Task. |
|
|
2.8.2 |
22 Dec 2020 |
Fixed a problem that prevented the BX-DM1-xx CPUs (no on-board Ethernet port) from going into RUN mode. Fixed a problem that prevented an AXHOME instruction configured
to use 1 limit and creep to offset position from working properly if
the Axis is configured to operate in Rotary mode. |
|

or Serial) in a C-More panel to reference a bit-of-word tag, (e.g.
D100:1). |
|
|
2.7.4 |
29 Apr 2020 |
Fixed a problem that prevented the -3 and 0xUT analog modules from operating properly in an Ethernet I/O expansion base. Fixed a problem that caused the -3 and 0xUT analog modules in the local base to report an error after a Clear PLC Memory. Fixed a problem that prevented BX-04DA-1/-2B modules from working in an Ethernet I/O expansion base. Fixed a problem with iterating structure fields to build JSON arrays.

Fixed a problem that could cause some of the -1 and -2B analog modules to not take their configuration after a power cycle. Fixed a problem in the TIMEPROP instruction that could cause the
output to glitch. |
|
|
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, any of the serial port POMs, and any of the SERIO modules
since they all use the same serial port driver. |
|
1.0.7 |

2.6.3 |
19 Sep 2019 |
Fixed a problem that would cause the CPU to crash if a Program or Task that is configured to be retentive contains a looping instruction (For / Next, Do / While, ...) that doesn't complete before a power failure. Fixed the "chunking" encoding in HTTPCMD and expanded the data sent to DMLogger. The AXPOSTRAP instruction now calculates a proper profile if the acceleration rate is many times greater than the deceleration rate. BX-04ADM-1 (4 channel analog input - medium resolution) input range was
incorrectly set at 13 bits (0 - 8191) instead of 14 bits (0 - 16383). |
|
|

client impropertly requested more than 125 words in a single request. |
|
2.3.2 |
30 Aug 2018 |
Fixed a problem that caused the BX-04ADM-1 and BX-06RTD to not work properly in a BX-DMIO or BX-EBC100 when being controlled by the Ethernet I/O Master. Fixed a problem in the BX-DM1E-M where the I/O System View was reporting the wrong slot number for I/O module errors. Fixed a problem that prevented analog and temperature inputs from always reporting broken transmitter errors. Now any time a current or temperature input is enabled and there is no probe attached, the associated X bit will be ON and a Warning (in yellow) will appear on the Status bar. Fixed a problem when a BRX CPU is configured as a multi-drop Modbus Slave that caused excessive retrys. Fixed a problem that caused Axis Home Search (AXHOME) to not complete properly in firmware version 2.3.1. Fixed a problem where the filter coefficient was not always applied properly in
the Filter instruction. |
|
|
2.3.1 |

Image (BACKUP) instruction and / or Do-more Designer utility. |
|
2.0.4 |
26 May 2017 |
Fixed an error in the EMAIL instruction which was incorrectly
handling semicolons in the "To:" field. Changed Axis Jog (AXJOG) so that inadvertent writes to the Axis' .TargetVelocity would not affect the Jog operation. Fixed a problem where sometimes a communication failure would abort the download of the system configuration. Fixed a problem that would prevent the CPU from going into
Debug mode if an Interrupt Service Routine is running. |
|
|
1.0.1 |
2.0.3 |
26 Apr 2017 |
Added support for ECOMLT POM so that it can operate as
Modbus/TCP server, K-Sequence server, DirectNET server, or peer-to-peer with
an ECOM. Requires ECOMLT firmware version 4.0.145 or
later which is available through Live Update in NetEdit.
Adds noise filtering to the on-board serial port. |
|
2.0.2 |
22 Feb 2017 |
Fixed problem that could cause spurious interruption of the
pulse train in the Axis following modes (AXGEAR, AXFOLLOW, AXCAM). Fixed a problem in the module discovery that could cause a Fatal error during a project download. Fixed a problem in the symbolic driver that could wrongly NAK good communication requests. Fixed a problem in the serial communication driver that
would cause it to become unresponsive if the PLC is generating a lot of
interrupts. |
|
|
2.0.1 |
