PROBLEM SOLVED

4051

Redudancy

During synchronization in redundancy mode a window would appear saying that "no error message available" on secondary.  This problem would show in projects that had a high number of alarms and variables being around 20,000.

 

3890

WebClient

The web client would remain pending in the "Requested screen to the server" phase and would never display the server page it was connected to. This situation could only be resolved by restarting the Movicon server project. This problem had actually been resolved on the server and would show with particular hardware/software configurations that sent "DBT_DEVNODES_CHANGED" type messages through the TCP socket. These messages did not get managed correctly by the thread that handled the Movicon process's networking, and which had raised an error. Web clients  could not connect when all the threads in the networking pool had raised errors.

 

4030

WinCE OS

The "CEUploadServer.exe" running in the remote panel, would go into error transferring an image file. This problem was not always reproducible, and only occurred in some Windows CE panels when experiencing certain conditions.

 

3967

Networking

Problems would occur when connection with a network server, if the network server has been started up in the development environment. This problem would show when the network server was started up directly in runtime or with the service and starting happening with the build 1012, linked to the fact that the networking services did not close the socket ports when terminating transmission.

 

3953

Alarm Management

When under stress an alarm which contained the "OnSetAlarm" event would freeze when in ON or OFF status. This problem could only be restored by restarting the project.

 

3887

Design

When exiting form the "Dynamic Explorer Window" with OK, the basic script code of the IL code contained in the source container would get deleted. This same problem would also occur with symbols from the library, that once inserted on screen would display the dynamic property explorer window in automatic.

 

 

Minor Problems

PROBLEM SOLVED

3889

Screen Objects

Some images set in screen drawings would not always show, even though these files were physically present in the computer. This problem started happening in the 958 build with the 1724 case resolution.

 

4000

Networking

Project termination would freeze while stopping the network servers when returning back to design mode.

 

3879

Basic Scripts

Using a function's "ByRef" parameter in a "For...Loop" cycle, a basic script motor exception would occur freezing Movicon.

 

3933

Setup

The setup installed the "StoreUnicodeProject" value in the "General" key for the Movicon application, even when the operating system was not in Unicode. As a consequence all the projects created with the Movicon wizard, would get checked as unicode.

 

3934

Design

The project's "unicode" option would not get market when being created in a unicode operating system (i.e. Windows Chinese). This problem would occur using the "Empty Project" and "Template Project" wizards.

 

3905

Real Time DB

A DataLogger or TraceDB would not record variable values correctly, if the variable happened to be integer type with the default format containing a decimal point. This problem first started occurring with the build 1010.

 

3907

Setup

The setup of the reduced Movicon version (PowerHMI) would not install the right registry keys for opening the "PowerHMI.exe" file in automatic when double clicking on a file with a ".movprj" extension.

 

3942

Tools

The tool used for importing and exporting variable to and from CSV files (CSVTagIE.exe), would no longer manage the "Initial Background Color" and "Initial Foreground Color" properties. As a consequence, after having exported and re-imported the variables, many controls used the color black color for the background and text-edge colors. This problem started happening with the tool version installed with the Movicon build 1012.

 

3969

License

Variables in shared areas would get counted on the license even when not used for communicating. This problem would happen when another variable in the same area and address went into use for communicating. This problem first started happening in the Movicon 1010 build.

 

4065

WinCE OS

Recipe values in floating point, FLOAT, would not get re-read correctly when the floating point was used as a decimal  separator.

 

4058

Tools

The alarm statistics report print or preview commands would display a blank report or a "Invalid Parameter Type passed" error message. This would happen in cases where the Windows' international settings were set with a different set of values to those set in "Italy" and in cases where filtered data was inserted when print or preview command was invoked.

 

4060

Design

Pressing OK in the XML explorer window would save any symbol script code in one line only. This would cause problems when executing this code in runtime.

 

4071

Alarm Management

A "No error message available" error message would appear when switching over to runtime from design mode. This only happened when alarms were deleted or disabled in the project which had been active in the previous runtime. This problem first started happening in the Movicon build 1010.

 

4041

IMDB (In Memory DB)

The IMDB (InMemoryDB) would not manage data in floating point correctly in ".dat" retentivity files. In fact these values should have been saved using the decimal point instead, even when other international settings used the comma. As this didn't happen, when retentive values in the ".dat" file were loaded, only the integer part of those values with floating points would get loaded.

 

4011

Design

When using Movicon in French or German, various strings used in the "Empty Project" and "Template Project" wizards would not get completely displayed.

 

4074

Setup

The Historical Log and Trace window "Print" buttons would not send reports to the printer for printing,  unless the report was specified in the appropriate window's property. This problem was due to the fact that the setup had not installed the  "HisLog.repx" and "TraceDB.repx" files searched by Movicon for print operations.

 

3836

Users Management

Movicon would always log on a domain user as a user belonging to the "Guests" group. This problem would arise if the domain user had not been inserted in the local domain user list as well.

 

4094

Screen Objects

The bottom circular gauge cursor could not be moved with the mouse.  This seemed to happen when one of the two bottom gauge's "Start Angle" or "End Angle" properties was set with a negative value.

 

4034

Alarm Management

Not all names of alarm retentive files were correct. This verified when an alarm was created with the same name of a project variable (new function introduced with the 1010 build). This made all alarms share just the one retentivity file in stead of having one each.

 

4035

Tools

When transferring a project to Windows XP/VISTA, files compiled with the "_c" prefix would not delete. As a consequence, the project run locally would behave differently in respect to the one in remote. This problem has been solved in the TCP plugin.

 

4047

Screen Objects

Setting a meter or slider's minimum limit dynamically with a variable value different to zero, would make the value set in the variable based on the object cursor's position incorrect.

 

4073

Screen Objects

An error in the Chinese, English, German and French resources caused the "Print" command in the historical log or trace window not to send any "HisLog.repx" and "TraceDB.repx" files, installed by Movicon, to the printer.

 

3996

Setup

Dialog windows for customizing Movicon tool bars and menus remained in English even when the development's IDE was set to another language.

 

4029

Alarm Management

One alarm would get create twice at the project startup. This happened when the alarm had the same name of a project variable and if that variable included the same alarm as template in its list.

 

3581

Screen Objects

An object's transparency level would not get displayed correctly, following certain operations carried out in design or  runtime.

 

3600

Screen Objects

The 'update', 'delete' and 'save' commands would not work in the grid object if its column titles were changed caused by the project's string table. It is not possible to change languages for modifying grid column headings, otherwise this would jeopardize its correct way of working.

 

3800

Screen Objects

Commands on click set in an object (new option introduced with version 11) would not work when the object was embedded in a symbol.

 

3823

Screen Management

A project's default menu or accelerator would not get loading changing pages. This problem would show when using the "Renaming Management" and in cases where the Start screen had been renamed.

 

3869

Basic Scripts

The "DateDiff" function would return an incorrect result in cases where the parameters were in the last half second of the day.

 

1178

Networking

A variable connected to a network server would remain set if managed with a impulsive button on the client side.

 

3944

Setup

Installing the "QJ71E71_TCP" driver in Windows CE would fail using the connection from the Windows "start" menu. This problem was inherent to the cab file list contained in the "QJ71E71_TCP.SSDK.ini" file from the "MovXCESetup" sub folder.

 

3913

Schedulers Resource

A "Hour plan" scheduler would not read the default holidays file (".defhol") when set with holidays.

 

3935

Setup

The SQL Server 2005 Express version installed with the setup in the Movicon installation DVD was not supported by Windows VISTA.

 

3936

Design

Symbols in libraries would not animate even though set with the animation option. This problem has been solved, but the only animations which can be managed for the time being are:

 

- the bar in meter objects

- the Trend area in the Trend object (not the data analysis)

- Texts in display and combo box objects

- Dynamic animations: scale, text - show value, gradual filling, dynamic images (only if embedded in symbol), dynamic back and text color - text and edge color

 

4006

User Interface

The tooltip which showed for the properties window's "Alphabetic" command displayed an incorrect text written in Italian but was written correctly in the other languages.

 

3971

Design

The "Dynamic Property Explorer" window would show the same variable twice in the tab listing all the variables used by the symbol selected.

 

4070

Design

The "Empty Project" and "Template Project" wizard used for creating projects would not set the unicode in the XML file heading (<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>). As a consequence the project creation script would generate an error saving the xml resource, when using Movicon in Chinese.

 

4050

Design

The commands for creating report web pages were not described correctly using Movicon in Italian.

 

4045

Design

The refactoring window would only control the presence of the first variable in cases where the basic script expressions contained more then one variable.

 

4046

Design

The refactoring window would show the dame error twice when selecting a screen resource.
