PROBLEM

924

ODBC

The Database manager would raise and error while recording values containing many figures in floating point: this problem may arise using MS SQL Server and InMemoryDataBase (does not verify using MS Access). For example, if attempting to insert a value with a SQL query that does not compress in the interval valid for numeric representations (maximum precision value is 38) an error returns.

WORKAROUND:

Set the default format in the double or float variable that is recorded in the Data Logger.

Screen Objects

Opening a screen, variables indexed in bit (ie. "Alias.0"), or those used in basic expressions (ie. "Alias1 + Alias2"), do not get replaced with the corresponding Variables which have been defined in the parameter file.

WORKAROUND:

Insert the items in the parameter file in this way:

Alias1.0,VAR00001.0

Alias1.1,VAR00001.1

...

Alias1 + Alias2,VAR00001 + VAR00002

Design

Renaming a folder in the project explorer window and then selecting a resource inside this renamed folder will show an error message. In order to select or open the renamed folder's resources in edit mode, you will need to save the project beforehand. The error message reads:

'...\RESOURCES\....\...movscr' contains an invalid path '

WORKAROUND:

This error depends on the fact that Movicon sets the resource path using the new name of the folder when it should use the old name until the project gets saved: therefore, this error can be avoided by simply saving the project before selecting a resource from the renamed folder.

IL Logic

Compiling IL Logic in development mode does not signal error using a timer the 999 address. The Logic goes into error only when going into runtime with the project. For instance, an instruction set, such as the one below, does not generate errors when logic is being compiled in development mode:

AN T 999

= T 999.100000

WORKAROUND:

The maximum number of Timers which can be used is 999 and therefore addresses should start form "0" to ""998".

Design

When executing the "Erase Device Memory Card " command with one of the three plugins (Active Sync, FTP, TCP) all the files within the folders get erased but not the actual folders.  As a consequence these project folders are still seen when browsing the contents of the Compact flash.

WORKAROUND:

If necessary, you can delete these folders manually.

Design

When modifying the "Command Type" option of a button, the "Execution" property group activates and deactivated only when this option is modified for the first time.

WORKAROUND:

you will need to re-select the button again.

2033

Design

If you try to insert a dynamic variable address in a child project, when confirming to close the address selection window opened by the Driver, nothing is written in the variable's "Physical I/O address" field and remains empty.

WORKAROUND:

To insert variable dynamic addresses you will need to open the child project as a normal project not within the parent project.

Design

When copying and pasting alarm thresholds, their names remain the identical to the original. It is therefore not possible to rename thresholds with names of existing thresholds.

WORKAROUND:

Create successive thresholds with new names.
