FTSolution for APT v1.3.4 RC5 Release Notes

Posted: 12/1/2017

FTSolution for APT v1.3.4 RC5 is a limited release.

Solutions

  • Communication Setup
    • Corrected the communication to PLC to resolve communication error “Task Codes returned from PLC do not match Task Codes sent to PLC”.
  • Full Compile
    • Cleaned up temporary files used by the compiler to avoid confusion as user’s program files.
    • Added a warning to the user that compiling/downloading of a program that has been previously compiled in an earlier FTSolution version will require upgrading of the compiled program’s object file to the current version. Once this program’s object file has been upgraded in the current software version (1.3.4 RC5 or newer), the user will no longer be able to compile/download the program using an earlier software version. This operation is not reversible.
  • Incremental Compile
    • User is no longer required to recompile if user wants to either enter Debug mode or do an incremental compile of a program that has been previously compiled with the obsolete (older than 1.3.3) version of the software.
    • Fixed an error in incremental compile changing the RLL of the current program.
    • Fixed an error in incremental compile that causes a network corruption.
  • Incremental Download
    • Incremental download is no longer allowed if the MAKEDATE of the program running in PLC does not match the full compile date of the program to be downloaded incrementally.
  •  Import
    • The programs invalid in APT will no longer show up as available for import by FTSolution for APT.
    • Fixed import error to recover when detecting corrupt charts.
  •  Debug
    • Fixed an error in using Activate in Debug mode in programs that have been compiled without Debug option checked.
    • Fixed the “The compiled object file does not match the program loaded in the PLC” error. User is no longer prevented from entering Debug mode after an incremental download of a program.
    • User now can enter Debug mode after an incremental download.
    • Debug Mode now is always enabled.
    • Removed backslashes from the warning displayed to the user when entering Debug mode.
  • Cross Reference
    • Improved the access to Cross Reference functionality. User can now launch Cross Reference from the toolbar as well as Project menu.
  •  Licensing
    • Fixed an error preventing the user from seeing the Key Product Name, Expiration and Install information.
  •  Report
    • Added the information about the software version with which the object file has been produced to the object file information.
