•CORRECTION: 64BIT DATA FIELDBUS: Corrected 64-bit data handling on Fieldbus in case of incorrect alignment.

•CORRECTION: MVA_JOG2 UNWANTED MOVEMENT: Corrected unwanted movement when attempting to stop re-entry into end of strokes.

•VARIATION: KEEP ALIVE: Updated KEEP ALIVE time only for TCP/IP messages containing data.

•VARIATION: CANOPEN SEND SDO: Changed space calculation for SDO transmission with low Baudrate networks (<= 500 Kbit/s) to be able to transmit SDO even with saturated network.

•IMPLEMENTATION: DEVICENET MASTER STATUS_REG: Added possibility to set diagnostic register on node status for individual nodes; STATUS_REG should, in this case, be defined within the node definition.

•IMPLEMENTATION: DEVICENET MASTER INP_W/OUT_W: Added possibility to assign input/output words to data to/from the node.

•IMPLEMENTATION: DEVICENET MASTER ALARMS: Added bits in sys_flag_2 to disable warnings on DeviceNET master of alarms 9203, 9241, 9242, 9243.

•IMPLEMENTATION: MODBUS SERVER KEEP ALIVE: Added possibility to set KEEP ALIVE times on Modbus server configuration.

•IMPLEMENTATION: AXIOLINE OBJECT: Added object read 0x00FC with device firmware version information.

•IMPLEMENTATION: NETCONTROL RESET CONFIG: Added command to reset configuration of Netcontrol board.

•IMPLEMENTATION: CO_WS_DIAGNO: Added bit25 (0x2000000) on result returned by D_CO_WSDIAGNO directive for EtherCAT connection failure.

•IMPLEMENTATION: PROFIBUS/PROFINET WARNING 9245: Added possibility to disable alarm 989 by converting it to warning 9245 in order not to have major alarm generation in case of wrong configuration.

build 0

•CORRECTION: NC_VERSION: Version number patch component is now displayed correctly, previously bytes were swapped.

•CORRECTION: MVA_OPEN_LOOP: To decide if IV should be set to 0, DRV_FOLLOWS_COM_AX is now checked in addition to checking ENABLED_AX.

•CORRECTION: SHORT NAMES FAT32: Short names, all uppercase or lowercase, are now correctly preserved.

•CORRECTION: ETHERNET/IP: The Ethernet/IP stack can now handle 4 elements encapsulated in a CIP packet.

•CORRECTION: INC_AXI boards: Corrected position capture function in case the system starts with the zero channel already active.

•VARIATION: BIT14 FOR ALARMS 82,84,86,88: Added bit14 for alarms 82, 84, 86, 88, set when the number of consecutive frames lost exceeds MAX_LOST_FRAME_ECAT.

•VARIATION: STATISTICS ON ETH_INFO: Added statistics on ETH_INFO directive to know the number of frames transmitted, received and containing error.

•IMPLEMENTATION: WARM RESTART: Implemented functionality to perform user functions to save notable application data when control is turned off.

•IMPLEMENTATION: OUTPUT MANAGEMENT IN LOADING MODE SYS_CFG_2: Added configuration of the behavior of various field buses in loading mode, done via sys_cfg_2.

•IMPLEMENTATION: NEW PCMBC MANAGEMENT: Completely changed PCMBC management with better diagnostics, different from previous one, and support of watchdog of AXL_F_BK_ETH device.

•IMPLEMENTATION: 9223 ALARM: Added alarm "9223 PCMBC RID (%d) Communication Error %d" when Modbus communication error occurs with AXL_F_BK_ETH device.

•IMPLEMENTATION: ALARM 9224: Added alarm "9224 PCMBC RID (%d) Node in fault %d" upon occurrence of an error on AXL_F_BK_ETH device.

•IMPLEMENTATION: MAX_LOST_FRAME_ECAT PARAMETER: Added parameter to configure the maximum number of EtherCAT frames that can be lost consecutively before generating an '8x ECAT xx No Communic.' alarm .

•IMPLEMENTATION: PARAMETER NUM_LOST_FRAME_ECAT: Added parameter to know the number of consecutive frames currently lost.
