This Version has been retired and should no longer be used..
This Version incorporates a number of bug fixes related to Version 3.00-R92.
General News
General update of the accompanying electronic documentation.
Fix of some memory leaks, particularly on network TCP/IP connections when closing them.
Added storage of status information for various desktop windows: this information is saved when the affected window is closed, and reloaded when it is reopened (e.g., window position and size, defined bookmarks and cursor position on ascii editor windows, etc, etc). The set of all this status information is still saved within the workspace file to which it belongs.
New type of variables
Added new type of variables defined as "bit variables."
These types of variables have a fixed name BIT(n) and allow access to the single bit values (both read and write) of the variables with which they are associated. For example, the variable R(index) usually has bit access with the name R(index).BIT(n), or with standard PLC syntax R(index).n, where n is the no. of bits involved (in the example from 0-15, considering R as a 16bit value).
NOTE: Although RDE always makes bit access to variables available it is necessary, however, that the software counterpart (i.e., that of the device to which you are connecting) supports this type of variable otherwise you will always get the error BCC code 101 - illegal arguments. For more information on languages and/or versions that support bit variables, refer to the relevant technical manuals.
