2.18
Impaired loading of very big Offline Data Files
X-Tools
may be unable to load offline data files with a size of 100 MBytes or more. In case the offline data files
are too big, also an interval-based loading mode can fail because of insufficient RAM. The only possibility to
load parts of such big offline data is to use a “Time Input Mode” of “Minimum Time and Time Interval”, “Minimum
Time and Maximum Time” or “Time Interval and Maximum Time” and to specify a smaller period of time of the
offline data file for the loading.
2.19
Device Name of ION SIMATIC TDC T001 Devices
In case an ION SIMATIC TDC T001 is renamed via the
DMS Explorer
of the
X-Tools Client
and in case the
new name is longer than 200 characters, the used TDC rack can fall into a system error. A restart of the TDC
rack is necessary in this case.
2.20
Legacy IEEE1394 Driver of Windows 7
Microsoft Windows 7 is delivered with two versions of the basic IEEE1394 bus driver: The so-called “new” driver
with advanced support for IEEE1394b devices and the so-called “legacy” driver. In case the new driver is in-
stalled and the IEEE1394 devices are not detected or operating properly, the legacy driver must be installed.
The legacy driver also must be installed in case the used IEEE1394 host adapter uses an IEEE1394-1995 PHY.
Refer to the user manual for detailed information about how to switch between the new and the legacy driver.
2.21
OPC UA Server Endpoint URL
The
X-Tools Server
uses the combination of Domain Name/IP Address and the port number as endpoint URL
to connect to an OPC UA server. It does not read the provided endpoint URL from the OPC UA server. In case
the OPC UA server needs the exact endpoint URL definition, the
X-Tools Server
may not be able to connect to
this OPC UA server.
Examples:
•
IP Address = 192.168.10.20, Port = 4841
o
the resulting Endpoint URL would be “opc.tcp://192.168.10.20:4841”
•
Domain Name = Localhost, Port = 52520
o
the resulting Endpoint URL would be “opc.tcp://Localhost:52520”
2.22
Multiple OPC UA Server Endpoints
The
X-Tools Server
does not support multiple endpoint URLs. In case the OPC UA server provides more than
one endpoint URL, the
X-Tools Server
tries to connect in the same way as described above.
2.23
OPC UA Output Data Table
Cyclically writing of values to OPC UA variables (Output Data Table in OPC UA Device Profile) will not work, if
there is no variable defined for reading (Input Data Table in OPC UA Device Profile). You have to add as mini-
mum one variable to the Input Data Table. This input variable can be disabled, so it will not appear as Online
Data in the MDS Explorer.
2.24
Possible wrong automatic Update of Analyzing Models/User Functions
In case the new version of an Analyzing Function provides a smaller amount of configurable input or output
arguments, the automatic update through the AME Standard T001 or UFE Standard T001 may fail.
2.25
Missing Offset Compensation for ION AnalogInput T001 Devices
The hardware offset of ION AnalogInput T001 devices is not compensated during the measurement. Therefore,
the measured values from the 8 channels can be different by several digits.
