- CIP connection type (Type2a, 2b) can be changed for several devices at once with batch setting feature
- Bulk editing for variable comments
- Search and jump to the resources
- Variable display
- Search Unused Variables function
- Improved error messages shown for a build
- Embed a variable value in a user alarm message
- Only frequently-used property items are shown in the Standard mode.
- Embed Dialog for advanced settings is available in Properties Tab
- Animation window was merged into the Properties window.
- 3D Visualizer displays real operational time
Enhanced/Improved functions
CONTROLLER
- Solved the problem that executing Transfer in Online Edit during a simulation of NJ501-R might stop a robot control task.
- Solved the problem that a major fault might occur after a build error associated with variables was resolved by changing the task setting.
ROBOT INTEGRATED CPU/3D SIMULATION
- Support the Remote Encoder Setting Function
- Improved the problem that an error might occur and disturb an access to RobotControlSetting when a simulation of a project that includes a robot was performed.
- Improved the problem that executing a simulation from the 3D Visualization pop-up menu of an Application Manager device might fail.
- Improved the problem that during a simulation, performing online program editing that includes IEC variables referenced by EXTERNAL keywords in a V+ program caused a V+ program execution error.
- Improved the problem that when an NJ501-Rx20 (DB model) controller was set and a simulation of the project where an NJ Robotics instruction was used in a program was run, an error occurred and an access to RobotControlSetting was disturbed.
- Improved the problem that an online connection or simulation while the V+ variable list is shown initialized initial values of a precision point array.
- Improved the problem that when a shape script with a code to assign values into a REAL variable was run with Windows setting using a decimal comma instead of a decimal point, an error message was shown and the shape script was aborted.
SAFETY
- Support the function to update configurations and setting data for Safety Units
- Improved the usability so that a terminated connection can be reestablished with the Safety CPU Unit due to a timeout during an upload.
HMI
- Improved overall performances.
- Soft-NA supports Runtime 1.12 to 1.15.
- Solved the problem that in a project using multiple HMIs, data type definition might become invalid when a device was switched from controller to HMI.
- Solved the problem that a mapped variable might not be shown on the Variable Mapping when a device was switched from controller to HMI.
- Solved the problem that an invalid resources ID might be assigned to an edited resource on the page editor.
- Solved the problem that a copied page group might be pasted in the same page size of the original unit model.
- Runtime Solved the problem that an Input control action caused an error if performed at a start of NA.
- Runtime Solved the problem that E_PAG_011 might occur at a pop-up window appeared.
- Runtime Solved the problem that a CSV file created in data logging might be overlapped with a previously saved file.
- Runtime Solved the problem that an error occurred when a variable value set to a conditional expression of an event became unallowable one for its data type.
- Runtime Solved the problem that an error was rarely indicated in an operation when some objects sharing a variable were used in multiple pages.
- OS Support the function to insert a variable value into a message at a user alarm.
