A new version of KPA Automation softPLC 1.3.5202.0 is released
KPA Automation softPLC 1.3.5202.0 includes the following new features and improvements:
- A new release of straton 11.0 is applied:
-
- The MIN and MAX functions now accept a variable number of inputs.
- Added the possibility to monitor status bits during On Line debugging from the Soft Scope tool.
- Added an option not to update the version number.
- Arrays are allowed to be with more than 64K elements.
- API is enhanced to enumerate variables and members.
- Provided the predefined alias __APPNAME__, which can be used in programs to replace the name of a project. This allows the user to easily display the project name in the GUI or SCADA without having to change it each time the project is renamed.
- Enhanced build-time limits checking for On Line Change.
- Bitfields derived from 64bit integers are provided.
- Implemented dispatching all tasks when a target configuration is selected.
- Provided an API to get ‘used’ numbers for configuring On Line change.
- For a new project from GIT, added a possibility to clone and checkout a directory.
- Now it is possible to save/select several option sets for project settings.
- Debugged instances now are serialized when going offline/online.
- Provided access to VSI bits from the Soft Scope tool.
- Allowed to ungroup all variables of a group with a single command.
- The variable editor is extended with user defined extra columns.
- Accepted the C style comments in ST. This option makes it easier to import programs from other tools.
- Added an option to display line and column numbers for Free Form Ladder.
- Zooming/resizing modes are enhanced for Free Form Ladder.
- Variable addresses now are displayed instead of offsets in the Modbus configuration tree.
- Accepted the #define alias for a configured variable name or array index. It enables to configure readable indexes instead of 0, 1… values.
- Added a check that the number of Datasets used does not exceed the maximum number allowed.
- For a new project wizard, added a possibility to select a template.
- Added new math functions: ISNAN, ISINF. They help to check the consistency of an IEEE floating point value stored in a REAL and LREAL variables.
- New blocks are implemented in the GeneralPurpose library for pack/unpack with 16 and 32 bit integers.
-
- Implementation of OPC UA Client, an OPC UA standard driver that makes it possible to retrieve real-time values from OPC UA Servers to SCADA systems. OPC UA Client supports login and password authentication and monitors real-time data and events.
