TOP Server Release Notes (5.1.71.0) October 21, 2009
Server updates
Runtime now detects install event and preserves DCOM configuration if present on an upgrade installation.
Fixed anomaly where channel diagnostics no longer work following a name change to a channel.
Added plug-in client counts to the server’s data client count _AEClinetCount
Fixed anomaly where alias references specified as .. were not getting resolved.
Fixed anomaly where server fails to auto-generate a system alias when a tag group is added from the configuration client and the parent of that tag group is an internal tag group managed by a plug-in.
Fixed anomaly where the alias map was not being updated following a channel/device rename in offline mode.
Fixed anomaly with the Alias Name dialog where the dialog would not allow an alias to be created that maps to a channel.
Added event log notification “Channel diagnostics started/stopped on channel '' to the event log.
"Demo timer started" event log message now shows the feature name that tripped the demo timer and the basic condition for the timer: i.e. not licensed, limited license or license limits exceeded.
Fixed anomaly when tag is duplicated using the "Duplicate" button on the tag dialog and has address longer than 512 chars.
Tag addresses that contain a leading zero now get incremented when using the duplicate button on the tag dialog.
Fixed anomaly where user would get a "Runtime update failed" message box when attempting to add more channels than allowed by the driver
Increased tag address limit to 1024 chars to agree with legacy v4 server.
Alias names are now auto generated for system and plug-in tags.
We now preserve server options of legacy v4 projects on project load.
Fixed anomaly where the modem tab on the channel property page was not being shown on initial startup of the configuration utility after the modem had been installed.
Fixed anomaly where the TAPI layer was not functioning properly when running as a service, thus affecting proper modem functionality.
Fixed an anomaly where the event log entries were not getting preserved in the eventlogserver_eventlog.log file after a clean install.
Components / Utilities
License Activation Utility
Removed the “Transfer License Response" option from License Utility because it is no longer necessary for a user to process a transfer response file.
Fixed anomaly where the font size was incorrect on Chinese OS.
Driver Enhancements/Fixes
Advanced Tags
Fixed anomaly with the Derived Tag update rate where the update was being executed every timer tick (100msec), instead of respecting the specified tag update rate.
Alarm & Events Plug-in (New)
Supports OPC Alarms & Events for Event Log messages
DataLogger Plug-in
Fixed an anomaly where the 'Server Item Parameters' column in the 'Map Item Fields' dialog was being incorrectly populated for wide log groups. This occurred only when loading a project in OPF format.
Added a DataLogger transform for proper conversion of XML projects from 4x.
Fixed an anomaly where NULL values were written to the database when logging in wide format with an on data change trigger. Previously only values that changed were written to the database. Stale values were written as NULL. This behavior does not match 4x. Now cached values are written to the database for values that have not changed.
Fixed anomaly where the user was inadvertently allowed to enter text into the log item dialog's 'DataType' combo box.
Fixed anomaly where the log group _Error tag was not going to a true state when the log group’s DSN is invalid.
Fixed anomaly where user could not pick proper regional time formatting for data/time in the Absolute Trigger dialog.
Automation Direct Productivity 3000 (New)
Custom Interface (New)
Mettler Toledo (New)
Allen-Bradley DH+
Fixed inconsistencies for each configured card type when there is actually no card present.
Allen-Bradley ControlLogix
Fixed anomaly where L5K files with lines longer than 32768 characters would not import correctly.
Added support for automatic tag database generation using .L5X files.
Fixed Predefined Data Type tag names created during an L5K/L5X import to match the new names used in online tag generation with V17.
Added support for asynchronous hostname resolution.
Added support for predefined types as part of support for firmware revision 17.
Allen-Bradley Unsolicited Ethernet
Fixed anomaly where word order was being swapped on 32 Bit data types. Added a device prop to disable word swapping: "first word low".
GE Ethernet Global Data
Added event log information displaying the channel to which the consumer or producer belongs to when binding a Producer Socket to the Default Network Adapter.
GE Ethernet
Fixed anomaly where symbolic Float and Double tags were showing 1.#INF (invalid Float) instead of “0” value.
Now allow for the alias tag data types that are specified as BOOL to assume the source tag data type.
Fixed anomaly where address parsing of non-register, non-string memory types allowed a "-" in the address field.
Added support for DOUBLE data types.
GE Focas 1
Added support for CNC Status Info tags.
GESNP
Now allow for the alias tag data types that are specified as BOOL to assume the source tag data type.
Fixed anomaly where address parsing of non-register, non-string memory types allowed a "-" in the address field.
GESNPX
Now allow for the alias tag data types that are specified as BOOL to assume the source tag data type.
Fixed anomaly where address parsing of non-register, non-string memory types allowed a "-" in the address field.
Mitsibushi A Ethernet
Added support for Double and Date data types to A Series and FX3U models.
Added support for Extended Data Registers to Q series models.
Added support for Extended Link Registers to Q series models.
Added support for Double and Date data types to Q series models.
Modbus ASCII
Added string data type support for Internal Registers.
Modbus Ethernet
Added string data type support for Internal Registers.
Modbus Plus
Added string data type support for Internal Registers.
Added block string read support.
Modbus RTU
Added string data type support for Internal Registers.
Added block string read support.
Modbus RTU Unsolicited
Added string data type support for Internal Registers.
Siemens S7 MPI
Fixed anomaly creating tags defined with String data type.
Siemens S5 (3964R protocol)
Fixed how KC memory types are displayed. Counters are now limited to three BCD nibbles for KC; this reflects how the data is stored on the physical device.
Fixed anomaly where arrays for Counter Current values C and Z were accepting out of range values.
Siemens TCP/IP Ethernet
Added support for DNS hostname resolution.
Fixed anomaly where driver was posting multiple “Device Not Responding” messages.
Simatic 505 Ethernet
Fixed anomaly where driver was unable to communicate to certain devices that emulate a 505 Series PLC/NITP protocol and do not support 32bit addresses in command.
SNMP
Added auto tag generation support for a variation of a “trap OID” containing an enterprise specific type. This format comes in as an instance of (.0) an OID with the last sub ID identifying the enterprise specific type (e.g., 1.3.6.1.4.1.318.0.12). We are required to create a tag with an address that contains the enterprise specific type (e.g., TRAP_V1:.1.3.6.1.4.1.318:G6:S12)
Triconex Ethernet
Fixed anomaly where the driver failed to import a mixture of both name aliases and Modbus aliases.
User Configurable (UCON)
Fixed anomaly where Transmit Byte command and Clear Rolling Buffer command were allowed to be selected from the menu without selecting a transaction in the item view.
Yokogawa DX Ethernet
Fixed anomaly with log scaled channels on a DX2020. The DX "advanced" model used different scale factors for channel data than the standard DX models.
TOP Server Release Notes (5.0.1176) July 22, 2009 TOP Server Version 5 is a major upgrade that adds new functionality, support for the latest Windows operating systems, and provides an architecture through which you’ll receive many new features over the coming years. The full release notes for Version 5.0.1176.0 for any drivers match the last Release Notes for version 4 and can be found below. More details on Version 5 can be found here. Driver Enhancements/Fixes
BACnet Driver
Fixed channel wizard issue that prevented user from moving to next page, incorrectly indicating that another channel was configured with same NIC and port.
Fixed an issue with processing “read property multiple” responses from certain brands of hardware, which resulted in toggling quality of all items associated with an object and repeated “device not responding” errors.
Beckhoff Driver
Fixed anomaly where writes to IO could fail, and reads from IO would not always report the correct values.
ControlLogix Ethernet Driver
Fixed performance issue for DH+ Gateway, ControlNet Gateway, ENI and Micrologix models where writes and priority reads could be starved in a low bandwidth/slow response time scenario.
Fixed issue where the driver generated names for imported array tags with 'CONDENSED' tag hierarchy incorrectly. The generated names were instead in the EXPANDED format.
Fixed L5K auto tag generation issue where L5K ENCODED_DATA and FBD_ROUTINE blocks were not being properly ignored.
Fixed issue where the driver could occasionally read/write empty data for string tags. This only happens for projects with multiple channels.
UCON Driver
Fixed issue where the Event counter was not incrementing for unsolicited transactions when a command preceded the initial read response.
Fixed issue with ASCII Real and ASCII Real (packed 6-bit) formats where legacy projects failed to load a default value for the "Use decimal comma in place of decimal point" option in the format properties. This resulted in projects behaving as though it was set even though the check box was not marked. Viewing the dialog box would set the property to the default value (unchecked/false).
Fixed issue with ASCII Real and ASCII Real (packed 6-bit) formats where non-negative numbers with negative exponents only displayed the exponent.
Idec Driver
Added support for "Extra Data Register" (D10000-D49999) for the MicroSmart model. For MicroSmart modules (non Slim Type CPU modules) that do not support the "Extra Data Registers" the driver will report a failure when reading/writing these registers.
SquareD Driver
Fixed issue where the driver was not parsing received data packet correctly when the route ID contained one or more nodes that were not equal to 255.
Yokogawa CX Ethernet
Fixed issue where would inefficiently time out on the device if the device returned an error code, rather than processing the error and immediately moving on to the next request
