TOP Server Release Notes (5.7.84.0) October 24, 2011
Fixed an issue where a deadlock could occur while a client is adding items and one or more components is utilizing Lite Licensing.
Fixed an issue where items in an OPC group could fail to update after Advise and Unadvise calls occurred during a call to the client’s data change handler.
Fixed an issue where 64-bit OPC clients could not browse the server without installing additional components.
Added a new system tag called “_OpcClientNames” that lists the names of all OPC clients that connect to the server and register their name through the IOPCCommon::SetClientName method.
Changed the OPC DA "Return Initial updates for items in a single callback" compliance setting to be disabled by default for new installations of the server. In case of slow communications (slow protocols), it is recommended that this server configuration setting be disabled to improve responsiveness. This setting can be located in the server configuration by clicking File | Project Properties | OPC DA Compliance.
Native Client Interfaces
OPC DA Server Interface
This version of the OPC DA Server (V5.7) has passed certification by the OPC Foundation’s Certification Test Lab.
OPC UA Server Interface
This version of the OPC UA Server (V5.7) has passed certification by the OPC Foundation’s Certification Test Lab.
Added the ability to modify the OPC UA Server properties MaxDataQueueSize, MaxNotificationsPerPublish, and MaxRetransmitionQueueSize.
Improvements have been made to utilize less CPU when faster publishing intervals have been set.
OPC AE Server Interface
Added the ability to return the server’s vendor information to clients.
iFIX/NIO Interface
Fixed an issue where items being referenced using the dynamic tag address “@” data type override functionality in the iFIX database would go off scan when the device was unavailable.
Plug-Ins
AE Plug-In (Custom Alarms)
Custom “into” and “out-of” sub-condition messages will now override the default messages if present.
Fixed an issue where source tag updates were being passed to disabled "out-of" sub-conditions.
Advanced Tags
Complex Tags now support the String data type.
DataLogger
Fixed an issue wherein legacy 4x XML projects containing a DataLogger configuration would fail during loading.
Oracle Connector
Fixed an issue where older versions of the Oracle Connector were not being replaced on an upgrade which caused limited MOC and MES connectivity.
Drivers
All Drivers
In “Device Properties – Timing”, the “Request Timeout" range was extended from 100-30000 milliseconds to 100-99999 milliseconds.
Allen-Bradley DH+
Fixed an issue where modifications to custom channel properties in the server configuration did not propagate to the runtime.
Allen-Bradley ControlLogix Ethernet
Fixed a threading issue that could cause a channel to stop communicating on systems with multiple CPUs.
Alstom Redundant Ethernet
Created a new driver for Alstom. This driver supports the Alstom quad device redundancy systems.
AutomationDirect ECOM
Fixed a threading issue that could cause a channel to stop communicating on systems with multiple CPUs.
Beckhoff TwinCAT
Added support for TwinCAT PLC version 2.10 with builds 909 or earlier.
Bristol/IP (BSAP over IP)
Created a new Bristol/IP driver that supports communication to Ethernet enabled Bristol ControlWave and DPC33xx devices. Communication to BSAP serial devices is also supported via an Ethernet enabled ControlWave and DPC33xx acting as a gateway.
OPC DA Client
Changed the default update rate from 50 milliseconds to 1000 milliseconds.
Fisher ROC Serial
Increased the channel limit to 256.
Fixed an issue caused when a controller responded with a data length greater than the data length supported by the protocol. This would cause a buffer overflow which could cause the driver to stop working. Added verification of data length returned by controller.
Fisher ROC Plus Serial
Increased the channel limit to 256.
Fixed an issue caused when a controller responded with a data length greater than the data length supported by the protocol. This would cause a buffer overflow which could cause the driver to stop working. Added verification of data length returned by controller.
GE Ethernet Global Data (EGD)
Fixed an issue where Boolean ranges defined as part of an exchange definition were being calculated incorrectly.
Updated various error messages to ensure the proper error code is reported.
Fixed a tag import issue that caused the consumer exchange to reinitialize.
Lufkin Modbus
Created a new serial driver to support Lufkin Automation devices using the ELAM and Modbus protocols.
Modbus Ethernet
The "Use holding register bit mask writes" setting is now disabled by default for the Applicom sub-model type TSX Premium.
Added Boolean support for the “%M” and” %MX” syntax.
Added “ %MWaaaa:Xb” to read a bit in a word (in addition to the current “%MWaaaa.b”).
Added the ability to append an 'H' or 'L' to the end of an Applicom string address when defining byte order.
Fixed an issue where concurrent writes to multiple bits within the same register were not being retained if the channel was configured to use more than one socket per device and the device property “Use holding register bit mask writes” was unchecked.
Corrected Applicom string address syntax to use string length as length in words, not bytes.
SNMP
Traps can now be disabled if channel serialization is disabled (when Channel Virtual Network set to “None”).
The driver no longer automatically generates tags for unrelated device configuration changes like Port, Protocol, and so on.
Torque Tool Ethernet
Fixed an issue where the driver was not correctly updating or invalidating certain internal driver tags. This prevented the server from providing timely updates to AsynchIO2/AsynchIO3 read requests and prevented the driver from providing correct last tightening results due to invalid status of the LTR_NEWDATA bit.
Weatherford 8500 Serial
Added channel serialization.
Added support for the following models: EPIC, M2000, WellPilot Classic, 8800, 8750, 8650, and 8500.
Added Inter-Device Delay.
Yokogawa Controller
Fixed an issue where a new Device ID could not be applied on the device’s Settings page.
