A new KPA EtherCAT Master 2, release 2.6.3506, is now available for INtime. Compared to the previous release 2.6.2105, this release brings several key enhancements, including:
- New licensing policy for INtime
From now on different Master licenses are required for INtime 7 and other versions of INtime. - Process Image Client invalidation
Added change of the Process Image (PI) Client status to invalid on ENI reload in Master core.
And also, added callback PARAM_PI_INVALIDATED_NOTIFICATION to PI Processor and PI Client.
To show usage of new callback we provide a new sample 54_InvalidProcessImage. - Process Image Client overflow
Added callbacks PARAM_PI_ON_OVERFLOW and PARAM_PICLIENT_ON_OVERFLOW to Process Image (PI) Processor and PI Client Processor to notify user about PI Processor (or PI Client) overflow (read and write).
To show usage of callbacks on PI Processor read and write overflow we provide a new sample 53_ProcessImageOverflow. - Automatic DC slaves calculation
Added automatic calculation of number DC slaves to be processed simultaneously, by loaded ENI file. - DC offset calculation
DC offset calculation in chunks has been added. Limit of the number of DC slaves to be processed simultaneously is set with a new dc.slave.processing.count INI parameter. - Mailbox size verification
Added mailbox default read size. Its value equals a value of a new mailbox.defaultreadsize INI parameter. The size of mailbox header, 6 bytes, is used as a default value of this parameter. - Detection of missed PI data update
Updated API Help with guidance on how to verify the timeliness of data delivery from application to Master.
