History

Revision History
Reason for 4/3/98 Release:
* Added support for Controller Link network and added support for UNION datatype.

Reason for 10/16/98 Release:
* Corrected problem with Word order of LongInt and also Float data being incorrect. LSB must be first in device memory.

Reason for 1/22/99 Release:
* Corrected problem of TIM memory type not being addressable as a digital data point.

Reason for 3/9/99 Release:
* Corrected problem of TIM flag completion data not being read correctly.

Reason for 6.22 Release on 5/7/99:
* Added support for Omron FINS v2.1 software.

Reason for 6.22a Release on 11/11/00:
* Corrected a problem with high CPU usage when some of the devices were off-line.

Reason for 6.22b Release on 08/17/2005:
* Updated to reflect GE Fanuc branding..

Reason for 6.23 release on 05/19/2006:
* Driver rebuilt and tested running under Windows/2000 and Windows/XP. Requires Omron FinsGateway Version 2003.

Reason for 6.23a release on 04/21/2008:
* Driver enhanced to allow configurable limits for maximum number of outstanding messages. It was discovered through testing that some network interfaces (e.g. CLK32 optical interface) may have problems handling more than ~8 outstanding messages. Configuration details can be found in the OMFRel.txt release notes file. Please note: Under normal circumstances, no changes to the default limits are required.
