History
| Revision History |
Reason for 6.10 Release 9/25/98:
Added functionality for Block Writes which allows you to enable/disable multiple writes to a poll record.
Added functionality for CHAR (STRING) datatype support. STRING is a complex string defined in the PLC.
Reason for 6.10a Release on 2/8/99:
Updated documentation.
Reason for 6.10b Release on 6/14/99:
Corrected problems with the data being displayed by a controller when another controller is disconnected.
Reason for 6.10c Release on 11/4/99:
Corrected problems with importing a CSV file when using a Digital exception type with a BYTE or WORD data type.
Reason for 6.10d Release on 3/22/00:
Revised error messages to provide more information so that troubleshooting the driver is easier.
Reason for 6.10e Release on 5/30/00:
Corrected a problem with the driver; it was sometimes losing communications to device(s) when retries occur.
Reason for 6.11 Release on 6/27/01:
Added support for the CP 1613 and CP 5613 boards. Also added Windows 2000 support for these boards only.
Reason for 6.12 Release on 8/31/01:
Added Switch command to toggle manually between the primary and backup device defined in your driver configuration.
Reason for 6.12c Release on 12/12/01:
Corrected a problem with DB numbers greater then 2047.
The driver now accepts numbers from 0 to 4095. Also fixed a reply timeout problem. Previously the reply timeout was always 1 second. Now, the driver uses the reply timeout configured for it.
Reason for 6.12d Release on 6/10/02:
Corrected a problem with the reply timeout. If the timeout was less than 5 seconds, the driver could not recover from a network break. Now 5 seconds is the minimum reply timeout.
10/15/02:
Effective October 15, 2002, Intellution announces the obsolescence of the S_7 I/O driver. No new orders will be taken after this date. Per Intellution's obsolescence policy, SIMs will be produced for a period of 6 months (until 4/15/03). During that time, the driver will be posted on the Driver SIM area for download. Only existing S_7 customers participating in iGlobalCare are eligible for SIMs.
New customers should contact their Intellution Sales representative to help find a suitable alternative to the S_7.
Reason for 6.12e Release on 01/02/03:
Changed the CP Name pull-down field in the configuration tool to allow user selection and editable user entry.
Reason for 6.12f Release on 03/10/2003:
Modified documentation to comply with GE standards. |
