Patch Highlights

Trend

GEDI

  • Project view
    • When a subproject is unlocked, files and colors/colorDBs can be added to or removed from it.
    • Directories (e.g., the colorDB directory) or whole subprojects (root-node in project tree) can now also be opened in external applications via the right-click context menu.
  • Catalog view
    • The context menu for message catalogs and user-defined catalogs can now be used to change the project icon if the project was unlocked in the ProjectTree view.
    • Further, files or directories can be added to, removed from or renamed directly in catalogs within subprojects.
    • The window titles of the catalog dock windows are now unique.

ULC UX

  • The number of reconnects an ULC UX client will do if the connection to the web server is lost can now be individually configured in the new config section [ulcUX] with the ../../cfg_doku/all_config_entries.html#ulcUX_reconnectCount entry (Standard before was 2 reconnects). This adds more flexibility, e.g., in case of unstable network connection.

Dashboard

  • The new iframe widget allows the integration of external content into the dashboard via a content window. Content from external sites is loaded and displayed within a frame. This allows the integration of 3rd party intranet or internet sites directly into the dashboard, which means no switching between windows/tabs for the user.

Drivers

  • The S7Plus driver now supports TIA portal V18 export.
  • The IEC 60870-104 driver allows deletion and recreation of connection data point (DPT _IecConnection) with the same name without driver restart if all related addresses are deleted beforehand.
  • The BACnet driver now supports the reading of the following object properties: Current_Command_Priority / Value_Source_Array / Timer object Initial_Timeout / CredentialDataInput object Supported_Formats / NetworkSecurity object Key_Sets property.
