User Interface

  • The Zoom Navigator widget has been extended with two new properties:
    • "viewportBorderColor" - Border color of the view window box can now be modified.
    • "sliderVisible" - The slider on the bottom of the zoom navigator can now be removed via property.

Dashboard

  • The new Sankey Widget offers an intuitive and visually appealing way to understand the flow of data, resources, or processes within a system. Flow data is visualized through arrows proportional to the respective flow quantities. With this widget, customers can easily identify bottlenecks, inefficiencies, and areas for improvement within their processes. By visualizing data flows, valuable insights into how to optimize resource allocation and streamline operations can be gained.

Security

  • OpenSSL Version 3.0 is now supported.
    Restriction: Due to an incompatibility with openSSL 3.0, the feature of “Secure Connections for IEC 61850” will not be available with current P006. Currently Secure Connections with IEC 61850 are not supported by any real device, but only in combination with simulator software. The incompatibility will be resolved with an upcoming patch of 3.19
