Improved  Functions

  • Solved the problem that the USB driver for CS1W-CIF31 might not be installed or run correctly on some Windows 10 computers.

Controller

  • Solved the problem that opening a project containing multiple controllers might abend Sysmac Studio.
  • Monitoring a safety application is now selectable at establishing online connections with the controller.
  • Solved the problem that editing an EtherCAT coupler in a version-controlled project resulted in a display saying the Safety CPU Unit in another controller is discrepant.
  • Updated the EDS file for NX-EIC202.
  • Improved the behavior that displaying the controller's synchronization window or starting online editing closed the HMI-related tabs.
  • Solved the problem that switching to the Program mode while a program with the Send/Rcv/Senc Cmd instruction was running on the simulator held the Controller Status pane in the Run mode.
  • Solved the problem that calibration stopped at one- or three-eighth of the progress.
  • Solved the problem that changing PDO mapping for FQ-series Vision Sensors from default values prevented the simulator from starting.
  • Solved the problem that some shortcut keys with the Ladder Editor's default configuration might not work in European-language keyboards.
  • Solved the problem that rungs with a specific form did not work correctly.
  • Solved the problem that when a local variable and a namespace had the same name, a duplicated name error might occur by mistake

Safety

  • High-coded Door Switches D41D, D41L, and D41G are now available on the Safety I/O setting view.
  • Safety Laser Scanner OS33C is now available on the CIP Safety connection setting view.
  • Solved the problem that the OC Reset Signal function block became TRUE only during the first cycle following a startup.

HMI

  • Solved the problem that a text string registered to alarm strings in a resource group other than Root was added as a new entry to Root if it was used in a user alarm.
  • Solved the problem that Sysmac Studio might abend while deleting a name or comment of a controller event.
  • Improved user interfaces related with user alarm additional information.
  • Solved the problem that changing the grouped object's size in the Properties window was not applied to the objects included in that group.
  • Runtime Solved the problem that a data log might be stored late in a file.
  • Runtime Solved the problem that contents selected in the field in the Recipe Viewer might not be out of position from those of the displayed recipe.

Robot CPU Unit

  • The tooltip shows a mechanical component's name on the 3D Visualizer.
  • Improved to face the tool tip vertically to the snapped point when snapping the tool tip of a vertical articulated robot.
  • Reduce the importing duration of a CAD file.
  • Modified the Shape Script structure so that user-defined methods can be reused as User Functions.
  • Solved the problem that dropping a 3D object on the split-displayShape Script Editor might insert a code into a place where the cursor did not point.
  • Solved the problem that an error might occur if an index of an array variable specified to an argument in a V+ CALL instruction was "i + 1."
  • Solved the problem that the message saying,"The Teach Restrict safety option could not be configured" was displayed even after the Configure Teach Restrict function ended successfully.
  • Solved the problem that starting up the simulator in the Robot Integrated CPU Unit might cause an error of Unknown Error Code (-429) in RobotControlSettings.

Sysmac Studio Ver.1.48 - Improved functions

  • Solved the problem that the PLC/NS USB driver might not be installed normally or not work on some Windows 10 computers.[Position Control Unit (CJ1W-NC[]81/[]82) setting component]
  • Solved the problem that EtherCAT communication cannot be established when slave is the inverter 3G3RX2 series.

Controllers

  • Solved the problem that the Online Edit might not start in a project that was uploaded from the Robot Integrated CPU Unit.
  • Solved the problem that establishing an online connection with the Robot Integrated CPU Unit that employs a remote connection device might take time.
  • Solved the problem that a change in the Belt Encoder Latch settings in offline disabled an operation on Sysmac Studio.
  • Solved the problem that downloading the Recipe Manager data to the NY-series IPC Machine Controller might not be available.
  • Solved the problem that clicking the Calibration button on the Virtual Camera window might not open the Camera Calibration Wizard.

HMI

  • Solved the problem that a font was not merged normally in the Version Control in Runtime version 1.11 or higher.
  • Solved the problem that some of the image files registered as resource might be erased after uploading.
  • Solved the problem that a magnification set after selecting a screen size in Font Replacement might not be an appropriate rate.
  • Solved the problem that the Import variable and data type information from a physical device function did not work normally when a CJ unit was selected in the External Device.
  • Solved the problem that deleting the data type of an external device might prevent removing an error.
  • Solved the problem that the imported variable might be erased when users imported a variable through the Import variable information from a file function then reopen the project.
  • Solved the problem that an incorrect alarm condition expression might prevent indicating a correct error location in the Build tab page.
  • Solved the problem that a build of a large project might cause a build error.
