Section 2 Functionality Changes

IntroductionThis section summarizes functionality changes related to Compact Control Builder AC 800M, Version 5.0.2/0. The section contains the following: New Functions. Discontinued and Replaced Functions and Units.

New FunctionsThe following information characterizes new functions for Compact Control Builder AC 800M, Version 5.0.2/0.

Support for IEC 61850 using CI868The IEC 61850 for Substation Automation System (SAS) standard defines communication between intelligent Electronic Devices (IED) in the substation and other related equipment.The CI868 Communication Interface makes it possible for the AC 800M Controller to be modeled as an IED receiving data from other IEDs to the 1131 variables, and to send data from its own 1131 variables to other IEDs per IEC 61850 data modeling. This is achieved using the IEC 61850 hardware library (CI868IEC61850HwLib).The CI868 Communication Interface in SV 5.0 SP2 supports the GOOSE communication mechanism but not the MMS communication defined in the IEC 61850 standard.

Improved Execution Performance Section 2 Functionality Changes

22 3BSE033044D5020

Improved Execution PerformanceOptimizations in the Application Compiler and the controller execution engine have reduced execution times for 1131 code (as seen in the Task Dialog, etc.) by eight to 25 percent compared to previous versions. This leads to a corresponding reduction of Cyclic Load for an upgraded, unchanged project.The actual improvement is dependent on programming style, use of library blocks, etc. Other hints to improve controller performance are:

Cyclic load can be reduced significantly if the new SignalBasicLib function blocks are used instead of SignalLib function blocks.

Proper adjustment of the ModuleBus Scan Cycle Time can significantly improve performance.

Engineering Environments

Convert a Control Module Instance to a Single Control Module. Right-clicking on a Control Module instance in the Project Explorer and selecting the Convert to Single Control Module makes it is possible to convert a Control Module instance to a Single Control Module. The Control Module instance may contain other Control Modules.

Editors

Filter in Editors. Selecting Tools-> Filter from the editor of an Application, Function Block Type, Control Module Type, Single Control Module, or Program makes it possible to filter the content of a column in the variable grid of the editor. From the Filter dialog one can decide which rows to display or hide by selecting or deselecting criteria items. The Criteria items can also be text filtered. A button in the toolbar of the editors can also be used instead of the menu options. The filter functionality is available both in offline and online mode.

Sorting in Editors. Selecting Tools-> Sort A to Z or Tools-> Sort Z to A from the editor of an Application, Function Block Type, Control Module Type, Single Control Module, or Program makes it possible to sort the content in the variable grid in alphabetic order. Sorting will be per column. If no column is selected the sorting

Section 2 Functionality Changes Engineering Environments

3BSE033044D5020 23

will be based on the name column. Buttons in the toolbar of the editors can also be used instead of the menu options. The sorting functionality is available both in offline and online mode.

New Function Block Parameter Attribute: By_Ref

The attribute gives the Control Builder information about how to handle the parameter, if the value should be retained, cold retain etc. For in and out parameters the value of the parameter is copied into the called instance at the call of the Function Block. For structured data types and strings this can be quite time consuming. To improve performance a new attribute called by_ref is introduced. By using the by_ref attribute the data will be passed in the Function Block call instead of copied. The following limitations applies for by_ref: It is not allowed to connect expressions or literals to a reference parameter.

Example: fb.par_in := 2; It is not allowed to read or write the parameter from outside the function block

(except in the function block call). Example: k := fb.par_out;

Hidden Attribute on In_out Parameter. It is now possible to set the attribute hidden on in_out parameters. This was not previously supported.

Width of Columns in Hardware Editor Decided by Content When a Hardware editor is opened the width of the columns is decided by the content of the columns. The user used to have to adjust the column width by using the menu command Tool->Adjust Column Widths or the short command Ctrl+Q.

Device Import WizardThis version includes an improved version of the Device Import Wizard. It is recommended to use the new Device Import Wizard version, instead of the older one. A number of improvements and error corrections have been made. Improved check and substitution for illegal characters "." and "," inside device

names, module names, and parameter names. Added check to guarantee unique names for devices and modules.

Engineering Environments Section 2 Functionality Changes

24 3BSE033044D5020

Advanced status configuration for boolean channels is now working. Mapping of diagnostics from device to module level is now working for first

import and re-import. Removed advanced status configuration for conversions 1 Byte to DInt and 1

Word to DInt since they were not supported by copy routines 301/401.

Search and Navigation

General.

The amount of memory needed for the search data base is significantly lower compared to previous versions.

Less time needed to build the search data base, for some applications it is a significant improvement.

Assignment of a structured data type is now also found when searching for one of its components.

It is now possible to search for a specific extensible parameter in online mode.

Search and Navigation in Function Block Diagram and Ladder Diagram Editor. When search and navigation is used in the Function Block Diagram editor the object will be highlighted. In previous versions only the FBD pane, where the object was located, was selected.

Search and Navigation in Online and Test Mode. Online searches are now modified to be so called deep searches and report all input/output of a certain signal as a result of a single search, irrespective of name changes at parameter connections. This means all information concerning reading and writing from the whole Application/Controllers about a signal is found through one click of the Search button. Previously the user had to contend with the time consuming task of making repetitive queries to follow a signal across projects the were potentially very large.


3BSE033044D5020 25

New Menu Options

Compiler Statistics Tool. Selecting Tools-> Compiler Statistics in the Project Explorer launches the Compiler Statistics Tool. This tool is available offline and can be used to, for example, list the number of POU instances in a Project or Application, how many times a certain instance is used, the size of the application, or an instance, number of parameters, etc.

View Different Versions of the Difference Report. Selecting Tools-> View Accepted Difference Reports in the Project Explorer makes it possible to open a previously approved difference report.

Library Usage. Right-clicking on a library and selecting Library Usage makes it possible to see if the Library is connected to an Application, Controller, or another Library. This new functionality will help the Engineer remove old versions of a Library that are no longer used in the project.

Presentation of Number of Instances in an Application. Right-clicking on an application and selecting Statistics makes it possible to see how many instances the selected application contains. The origin of the instances is also listed, i.e. which library or application the type is defined in.

Compile and Download

Additional Consistency Checks at Download to Controller. Additional consistency checks have been implemented in the Control Builder, to ensure that inconsistent or corrupt configuration and application data can never be downloaded to the Controller.

If any of the data (domain) files used at download are missing, or there is a mismatch of the timestamps etc, the download will be blocked with an error message.

The events leading to such a situation can be that a previous download was disrupted in an uncontrolled way, e.g., due to a network failure or memory full, or that data files could not be saved properly on disk.


26 3BSE033044D5020

Depending on what data is missing or causing the mismatch, the situation will have to be resolved by a ColdRestart of the concerned Application(s), or, sometimes, by a controller reset.

The most common reason for missing files are: communication is lost during setup of controller configurations, backup/restore has failed, and that the controller is running with an outdated backup media download.

Additional Warnings During Download to Controller. Additional warning messages are implemented to avoid the Controller being reconfigured in the wrong mode after a download e.g. if warm restart is selected but the changes in the application require a cold restart, the system previously made a cold restart. Now the warning Are you sure.. will be displayed and the user has the option to cancel the download.

Possible to Add Previously Deselected Applications During Online Without Download. It is now possible to add previously deselected downloaded applications during Online Without Download. Previously the workaround was to select Online With Download (no download was performed if the Applications was not changed).

New Compiler Switches. The following compiler switches are added. SFC Language: Checks that no SFC language is used. Force I/O from Code: Checks that there is no forcing of I/O signals from

application code, i.e. writing to the forced component of an IO data type is not allowed.

Multiple Calls to the Same Function Block: Checks that there is only one call to the same Function Block instance in a POU-type.

None or Multiple Calls to ExecuteControlModules: Checks that Control Modules exist in a Function Block Type. There must be one, and only one, call to the firmware function ExecuteControlModules on the top level without conditions.

Difference ReportThe following functionality has been added to the difference report.

Section 2 Functionality Changes Control and I/O

3BSE033044D5020 27

Line Comparison. Two lines in the Difference Report can be compared to each other. Select a line in the Difference Report and open the context menu and select 'Compare lines'.

Control and I/O

Filter Out System Alarms from Hardware UnitsFilter out system alarms is a function that is used to reduce the number of alarms generated from hardware units. A typical example of when this functionality can be used is during commissioning of the system or when adding a new part to an existing system. The function is configured from the Hardware object editor on the controller. Select the Settings tab and there is a parameter called Filter out system alarms from hardware units. The different filter options are Off, Underflow, Over- and underflow, Channel error, and All.

Compact Flash

Warning Message when Compact Flash Card is EmptyIf a Compact Flash card is inserted to the Controller and the card is empty a warning with the description No image will be generated.

Standard LibrariesThe following objects have been added to the libraries delivered with the Control Builder.

New firmware functions

InhibitDownload. The firmware function InhibitDownload makes it possible to block a download to the Controller from Application code.

The errors and warnings will still be visible in the hardware tree and the Unit Status tab in the hardware online editors when the setting is set to filter out alarms. The filter prevents generation of system alarms and events that otherwise will end up in Alarm and Event Lists.

Standard Libraries Section 2 Functionality Changes

28 3BSE033044D5020

ReservedByTool. The firmware function ReservedByTool checks whether or not the controller is reserved by any Control Builder.

Serial_string_append_ASCII. The firmware function serial_string_append_ASCII appends a character to a string.

Serial_string_append_Hex. The firmware function serial_string_append_Hex appends the hexadecimal representation of a DWord to a string.

Serial_string_find_ASCII. The firmware function serial_string_find_ASCII returns the position of a specified character within a string.

Serial_string_get_ASCII. The firmware function serial_string_get_ASCII returns the ASCII code of a character in a string.

Serial_string_Hex_to_DWORD. The firmware function serial_string_Hex_to_DWORD converts a hexadecimal string to a DWord.

Serial_string_left. The firmware function serial_string_left function extracts the leftmost characters from a string.

Serial_string_mid. The firmware function serial_string_mid extracts a substring from a string.

Serial_string_put_ASCII. The firmware function serial_string_put_ASCII function replaces a character in a string.

Serial_string_replace_Hex. The firmware function serial_string_replace_Hex replaces a substring in a string with the hexadecimal representation of a DWord.

Serial_string_right. The firmware function serial_string_right extracts the rightmost characters from a string.

Section 2 Functionality Changes Standard Libraries

3BSE033044D5020 29

Signal Objects

SignalLib. The SignalLib library has been extended with the following objects. Object names that start with SD (Shut Down) are intended to be used together with the SD objects in the SupervisionBasicLib library for shutdown logic. SDLevelAnd4: The Control Module Type SDLevelAnd4 makes an AND

function between four signals of SDLevelMConnection. SDLevelOr4: The Control Module Type SDLevelOr4 makes an OR function

between four signals of SDLevelMConnection. SDLevelBranch4:The Control Module Type SDLevelBranch4 splits a signal of

SDLevelMConnection into four new signals.

SDLevelM: The Control Module Type SDLevelM provides an easy way to structure the Emergency or Process shutdown logic in the commonly used level hierarchy. There is an activation input parameter from surrounding objects as well as from superior levels, and output parameters to affect process objects as well as subordinate levels. These four input and output possibilities may be inhibited individually.

SignalBasicLib. The SignalBasicLib library is new and contains simple signal objects. The signal objects in this library are also suitable to use in non-SIL applications, since they consume less memory and execute faster than the ones in SignalLib. SignalBasicBool: The Function Block type SignalBasicBool is used for

overview and maneuvering of boolean signals of data type bool. SignalBasicInBool: The Function Block type SignalBasicInBool is used for

overview and forcing of boolean input signals of data type BoolIO. SignalBasicOutBool: The Function Block type SignalBasicOutBool is used for

overview and forcing of boolean output signals of data type BoolIO. SignalBasicReal: The Function Block type SignalBasicReal is used for

overview and maneuvering of analog signals of data type real. SignalBasicInReal: The Function Block type SignalBasicInReal is used for

overview and forcing of analog input signals of data type RealIO.

Standard Libraries Section 2 Functionality Changes

30 3BSE033044D5020

SignalBasicOutReal: The Function Block type SignalBasicOutReal is used for overview and forcing of analog output signals of data type RealIO.

SupervisionBasicLib. The SupervisionBasicLib library is new and contains Function Block types intended for shutdown logic. Basically, they have one normal condition and one safe condition. Some of the Function Block types in the library are not protected, i.e. it means that they can be copied to a user defined library/application and then modified according to user requests. The Function Block types that can be copied are: SDBool, SDReal, SDInBool, SDInReal, SDOutBool, and SDValve. SDBool: The Function Block type SDBool is a variant of SDInBool. The In

parameter is of Bool data type, alarm/event handling when input value is different from Normal value.

SDLevel: The Function Block type SDLevel provides an easy way to structure the Emergency or Process shutdown logic in the commonly used level hierarchy. There are activation input parameters for input signals (Cause) and superior levels (In), and output parameters for output signals (Effect) and subordinate levels (Out). These four signals can be inhibited by input parameters and by Faceplate commands.

SDInBool: The Function Block type SDInBool extends the functionality of a Digital Input signal of data type BoolIO with alarm/event handling when input value is different from Normal value. The activation output (DiffNormalAct) is inhibitable and is intended for safety activation logic.

SDInReal: The Function Block type SDInReal extends the functionality of an Analog Input signal of data type RealIO with alarm/event handling for up to two high levels, up to two low levels, and errors. Filtering is also provided. The activation outputs (GTHHAct, GTHAct, LTLAct, and LTLLAct) are inhibitable and are intended for safety activation logic.

SDOutBool: The Function Block type SDOutBool extends the functionality of a digital output signal of data type BoolIO with alarm/event handling when output value is different than Normal value.

SDReal: The Function Block type SDReal is a variant of SDInReal. The In parameter is of Real data type, alarm/event handling for up to two high levels, up to two low levels, and error.

StatusRead: The Function Block type StatusRead is used, in application code, to retrieve the signals from the Status output from the Function Block types SDInBool, SDInReal, SDLevel, SDOutBool, and SDValve. When several status output signals are or-ed, the result can be connected to a StatusRead Function Block type to achieve overview indication.

SDValve: The Function Block type SDValve is suitable for control and supervision of a shutdown valve with one position defined as 'fail', i.e. Fail Open (FO) or Fail Close (FC).

New Hardware Units

New Controller

PM866. The PM866 processor unit has the same characteristics has PM864, but it has 64-Mbyte memory and performance data which is approximately 1.4 times the performance of PM864.

New Communication Module

CI868 - Communication Interface for IEC 61850. The CI868 Communication Interface in SV 5.0 SP2 supports the GOOSE communication mechanism but not the MMS communication defined in the IEC 61850 standard.

New I/O Units

AI835A. Analog input module with improved CJT distribution support. It is fully backward compatible with AI835.

AI815. Analog HART enabled input module for single operation.

AO815. Analog HART enabled output module for single operation.

MMS Communication

Synchronized Write for MMS Internal CommunicationIt is now possible to get a synchronized write on MMS telegrams between applications running in the same Controller. MMS messages up to 800 bytes in length (corresponding to 100 to 250 simple variables) are sent synchronously by MMSWrite to an Access Variable in the same controller. No other 1131 tasks or communication subsystems can interrupt the transmission.

Legacy Protocols

INSUM

New INSUM MCU Type - MCU v2. There is a new INSUM MCU type called MCU v2 in the CI857InsumHwLib library. The new HWUnit works like the existing MCU HWUnit except that when process related Alarm bits are set, the Warning indication is not set.

The Alarm bits are still indicated as status bits but without indicating a Warning.

Section 2 Functionality Changes Maintenance

3BSE033044D5020 33

MODBUS TCP

Support for Real Data Type in MODBUS TCP. The data type real is now supported in MODBUS TCP Master communication.

Serial Communication

Read Messages Longer than 140 Characters Using SerialListen. It is now possible to listen for messages longer than 140 characters using the Function Block type SerialListen. A new status code, +400, has been added indicating that the receive buffer holds more characters to be read. The Function Block can then be called multiple times in the same scan.

Receive Buffer now not Always Emptied when Enabling the SerialListen Function Block. The SerialListen function block was changed in Version 5.0 so it automatically emptied the receive buffer when being enabled; however, this is not always the desired behavior.In Version 5.0 SP2 the SerialListen function block has a new parameter called "ClearBuffer". The default value is True, and the block behaves like in Versions 5.0 and 5.0 SP1. Setting the parameter to False means that the buffer handling works as in versions prior to 5.0; the receive buffer is then not emptied when the listen block is enabled.

Maintenance

Controller Analysis for Service EngineersBy selecting the button Show Controller Analysis in the Remote System dialog the Controller Analysis dialog will be opened. From this dialog it is possible to receive maintenance information from the Controller like reset Module Bus Fail Counters or get Module Bus I/O Revisions.

Firmware Upgrade from Compact Flash Card. Upgrading controller firmware using the compact flash card is now supported.

PROFIBUS-DP Section 2 Functionality Changes

34 3BSE033044D5020

PROFIBUS-DP

Support for Real Data Type on CI854 to Panel 800Using the data type real when using CI854 together with Panel 800 is now supported.

Discontinued and Replaced Functions and UnitsThe following information characterizes discontinued and replaced functions and units for Compact Control Builder AC 800M, Version 5.0.2/0.

Engineering Environments

Project Constants Shall not be used as Initial Values in Objects Initial values on parameters in Control Module types and Function Block types may NOT be originated from project constants. The reason is that if the value of the project constant is changed by a user this may result in different instances of the same type behaving differently if some instances are downloaded after the change with a cold restart and some are not downloaded at all. To solve this issue the project constants are replaced with a literal value with the same value as the project constants. This change has been done in the following libraries: SignalLib.If Projects Constants in the "cInit" group are changed, then all unconnected parameters that use these Project Constants must be individually assigned.

Project Explorer

Editors

Retain Attributes on Parameter. When a parameter is created the retain attribute is no longer added automatically. This change is valid for both Control Module types and Function Block types.


3BSE033044D5020 35

Composite Data Types in Hardware editors. In the hardware editors the simple data types are replaced with composite data types, i.e. Bool is replaced with BoolIO. It is still possible to connect a simple data type to a channel, e.g. Real can be connected to an I/O channel of the type RealIO. The data type for UnitStatus is changed from Dint to HwStatus.

Menu Commands

Move Up/Down Commands Removed. The menu commands Move Up and Move Down are removed from the context menus of Control Modules and Single Control Modules. The objects are now always listed in alphabetic order.

Hardware

Not Possible to add CI851 or CI852 units in Hardware Tree. It is no longer possible to add CI851 or CI852 units to a Controller in the hardware configuration. The reason is that CI851 and CI852 are in classic mode. Projects that already contain CI851 or CI852 units are not affected by this change.

Compile and Download

New Error Messages at Download of I/O Connections. It is no longer possible to move the connection to an I/O channel from one

application to another without first removing the existing connection. An attempt to move the connection will be prevented by the compiler error:

Error 9164 : The I/O-channel was used by another application at last download.

The workaround is:1. Disconnect the channel from the variable in the first application,2. Perform a download.3. Connect the channel to a variable in the other application.4. Perform a second download.


36 3BSE033044D5020

If the controller configuration is successfully downloaded, but the following download of the applications is disturbed, the Control Builder might come to a situation where it is not able to analyze which I/O connections are configured and running in the controller. The disturbances that might have an influence on the application download can be: Memory full in the Control Builder or the controller. Communication interruption.

Fatal error in the Control Builder during the download.If the Control Builder can not analyze the I/O connections the download will be prevented by the compiler error:

9166 : The I/O-connections for the application are not possible to analyze. Cold restart of application is required.

Not Possible to Go Online to Controller After Downloading to Compact Flash. In SV5.0 SP2, restrictions on Controller Configuration download have been implemented in order to reduce the risk for crashes and shutdowns at reconfiguration. This affects the supported workflows for loading a Compact Flash card.In SV 5.0 SP2, to be able to download to a running controller, the Control Builder must have access to the domain file that was created at the previous download. If not, the controller must be Reset before a download can be made. This is not a restriction at normal use cases for downloading changes from the Control Builder. However, when a Control Builder makes a download to a Compact Flash card (attached to the Control Builder), it overwrites the file from the previous download. Consequently, after a download to a Compact Flash card, it is no longer possible to download from a Control Builder to the controller whose content was just loaded into the Compact Flash card. Also, if an attempt is made to download to the controller in this situation, there will be an incorrect error message saying that the system is inconsistent.

Workaround, Clarifications and Helpful HintsDo not load controllers alternately from a Control Builder, and from a Compact Flash card.


3BSE033044D5020 37

Never load a Compact Flash card from a Control Builder that is connected to the same 800xA System that is also used to download to the actual controller.

Background

The Compact Flash card is primarily intended for use with the Compact products, and for use in controllers that are not connected to a network. It can; however, also be used in an 800xA System, and in a controller connected to a Control Network. However, since the Compact Flash card can only be loaded when attached to the Control Builder workstation, and its content is loaded into a controller at startup, there has never been general support for a workflow where a controller is loaded alternately from a Control Builder and from a Compact Flash Card. The user will easily end up in situations where warm download from the Control Builder is not possible. The intended work flow has always been to load the Compact Flash card in the workstation, then insert it in the controller, and then reset the controller.

Simulate Hardware is Default Turned Off. The possibility to use Simulate Hardware is default turned off in the control Builder. Select Tools-> Setup-> Station-> Application Download and then set the system variable HWSimulationAllowed to true to activate the hardware simulation. The system variable did not exist before, Simulate Hardware was always enabled.

Restrictions Against Downloading to Hardware Simulation Controllers. If Hardware Simulation controllers are connected on the same Control Network as the corresponding real controllers, the real controllers may receive unintentional downloads or be blocked from subsequent downloads to real controllers.

Never load a Hardware Simulation controller from a Control Builder that is connected to the same 800xA System that is also used to download to the actual controller. Always connect Hardware Simulated controllers to a separate System and network.

After a download to a Hardware Simulation controller, it is no longer possible to download from the same System to the corresponding real controller. Also, if an attempt is made to download to the controller in this situation, there will be an incorrect error message saying that the system is inconsistent.

Maintenance Section 2 Functionality Changes

38 3BSE033044D5020

Unchanged Applications not Stopped During Reconfiguration. When changes are downloaded to an Application the other running Applications in the Controller will not be affected. Previously all running Applications were stopped in the Controllers during the reconfiguration even if there were no changes downloaded to them.

Firmware Integrity Check at Upgrade via Ethernet. The integrity of the downloaded firmware is now checked by the AC 800M controller when upgrading the firmware via Ethernet. Additional integrity data has been added to the downloaded file; a corrupted firmware file will be discarded by the controller. This also means that a controller running Version 5.0 SP2 firmware will reject an Ethernet based downgrade of the firmware to an older version. Downgrade must be made using the Serial Firmware Upgrade tool.

Maintenance

System Variables

Change System Variables in Controller. Previously the Setup - System Variable dialog launched when the Change System Variables button in the Remote System dialog was used. System variables are now changed by selecting More in the Controller Analysis dialog that is launched from the Show Controller Analysis button in the Remote System dialog.

Section 3 Compatibility

Controller peer to peer communication is possible with other controllers running Version 2.x/x, 3.x/x, 4.x.x/x or 5.x.x/x by means of Access Variables.See Appendix C Upgrade in the manual Compact Control Builder AC 800M, Getting Started, Introduction and Installation (3BSE041584Rxxx) for further information.

Supported VersionsCoexistence of controller versions is supported, see Supported Versions for Coexistence of Controller Versions on page 42.

This release of Compact Control Builder AC 800M (Version 5.0.2/0) is compatible with the previous Versions 5.0.x/x, 4.1.0/x and 4.0.0/0.Some Hardware Modules may have to be exchanged to new hardware revisions. See Compatible Hardware Modules on page 42, for further information. Listed Hardware Modules must be of stated version/revision or higher.Control Builder and OPC Server must be upgraded to the new version in order to work together.

When upgrading, consideration should be given to memory usage in the controller. The firmware size has grown, resulting in less free memory, compared to previous versions (4.x), for user applications. The reduction primarily concerns processor modules with small amounts of free memory (PM851, PM856, and PM860) and to controllers including several types of CEX-modules. Please see section 3 in Compact Control Builder AC 800M, Product Guide (3BSE041586Rxxx) for information on memory requirements.

Supported Versions for Coexistence of Controller Versions Section 3 Compatibility

42 3BSE033044D5020

Supported Versions for Coexistence of Controller VersionsStarting from Version 5 and installing newer versions of Control Builder and OPC Server does not require a controller upgrade. Controllers with different firmware versions can coexist in the same network, and newer versions of Control Builder and OPC Server can connect to controllers of older versions (not older than Version 5). All Control Builders and OPC Servers must be of the same version in a running plant.

Coexistence is supported between the controller versions listed in Table 3.

SNTP Client Caused Unnecessary Load in AC800MAn SNTP Server returns a time packet with Li=3 (alarm) if the server is unsynchronized. If the SNTP client received this and there was no better server the SNTP client made 4 quick retries against the server without any delays. If many controllers did this at the same time excessive network load was generated that disturbed other communication.

800xACON-OL-4000-004

This problem has been corrected in the AC 800M firmware. A delay is added after each retry.

Lock Up Risk in DecoupleFilterCCThe DecoupleFilterCC Control Module in the library ControlAdvancedLib could lock up in extreme cases where the control signal were pushed to its limits. The reason for the lock up was when the module send a max and min-reached signal at the same time for the same channel to the precedent Control Module, if this Control Module happen to be a PID, the PID was locked up.

800xACON-OL-5020-002

This problem has been corrected in ControlAdvancedLib. The DecoupleFilterCC have been modified to only allow either maxreached or minreached signals.

Backtracking in AnalogOutCCIf the out rate per unit was lower in the AnalogOutCC module than in the previous Control Module in the loop did the backtracking not work.

Wrong Freeze Handling in SignalInBoolM and SignalBoolCalcInMThis is related to the control module types SignalInBoolM and SignalBoolCalcInM configured with the Freeze error handling option enabled.If the parameter AckReqAtErr was set to true, then the object should have frozen the output until the operator acknowledged the error. However, the output followed the input instead.

800xACON-OL-5020-007

This problem has been corrected in SignalLib.The objects now take AckReqAtErr into consideration and freeze the output until the error is acknowledged.
