4/4/01: NOT W2K COMPATIBLE DUE TO 3RD PARTY CONSTRAINTS.
Manual Channel and Device Switching Feature:
The driver allows manual switching of channels and devices
in addition to the customary automatic switching feature.
That is, users can manually switch from a primary serial
port or ARCnet board to a backup serial port or ARCnet
board and back again on a given channel. Users can also
manually switch from a primary Controller to a backup
Controller and back again on a given device. Users perform
a switch using a digital output block. They can also read
back the state of the channel or device setting up a
digital input block. |
History
| Revision History |
Reason for 1/9/97 Release:
* Driver released including all previous SIMs.
Reason for 9/15/98 Release:
* Corrected problem with application errors occurring when
exporting a large file.
Reason for 6.21 Release on 10/29/98:
* Changed name from OPC to OPX.
Reason for 6.21a Release on 11/2/99:
* Fixed problem using this driver with the
Device Control block.
Reason for 6.21b Release on 6/14/00:
* Corrected a problem with Windows NT security restricting
the use of SCM and starting/stopping device drivers
{specifically the WinRT service).
To resolve this issue we:
1. Created a control panel applet named OpxCfg.Cpl. This
applet is the only mechanism that can modify the registered
addresses of ArcNet cards, instead of the Driver
Configuration program. This applet also changes the
existing or creates a new WinRT service that starts when Windows is started.
2. Modified the Driver Configuration program to point to a
card number only per channel, instead of actually modifying
port addresses and memory locations. Now the Driver
Configuation program only stores the card number in the Driver Image Table.
3. Modified the polling task to read the addressing
information by card number at startup from the registry.
4. Modified the installation routine to copy the
opxcfg.cpl file to the system32 folder.
Reason for 6.21c Release on 06/18/03:
* Modified documentation and release notes to be compliant with GE policies.
Reason for 6.21d Release on 6/10/05:
* Driver has been rebranded to reflect GE Fanuc. |

Note: If your firewall blocks ZIPS and EXEs, simply right-click and select SAVE TARGET AS and change the extension to something like "XIP". Once downloaded change the extension back to its original one.
All drivers produced by vendors other than GE ("3rd Party Drivers") are provided by GE "as is" and without warranty of any kind unless the vendor extends a pass-through warranty to the end user. Support for 3rd Party Drivers is provided by the driver's vendor.
