V2.6
V2.6.7 Correction of an error when importing Arrays. At importing the real names of the source files are displayed now. It is possible to exclude blocks from the import by the import-filter. The box, the board, the limit switch, the limit switch nose and the hook can made turnable now.
The Dyn-Converter can now be configured for corner- and edges points as well as for turnings just around the z-axis. Correction of an error at the export of 2#.... - constants. Correction of an error at the export of blocks with many networks. Correction of some errors at the import. Correction of an error at the pump with variable power, if this one is negative.
V2.6.6 Correction of some errors at the import of STEP ®7 Correction at the entering of SFBs in the symbol table. Correction at the joint with servo drive
V2.6.5 At the printing of data blocks the actual values are printed now as well. Correction of an error at the assignment of an analysator to a real pipe.
V2.6.4 In the group editor all elements of the machine can be added to a group, by marking the origin and pressing “>>“ . The following system functions are implemented: SFC20 Copy memory areas SFC21 Fill memory areas with a pattern SFC22 Create data blocks during runtime SFC23 Delete data blocks during runtime SFC24 Determine the length of a data block during runtime
The BIE-Bit is set to “0” before each OB 1 call now like in a S7. So it can happen that blocks are not called anymore. Note that you have to set accordingly the BIE-Bit with SAVE at programming of FC and FB whose ENO-output is called.
V2.6.3 Correction of an error at setting a breakpoint onto a line with CALL Correction of errors in the STL-editor and others at function (block) calls.
V2.5
The control of the machine by the IBH softec SoftSPS/S7_Simulation is quite easy to do now. Within the PLC-program external functions, which are written in C- or another standard language are called. The dynamics can be filled with fluids now. See example “FillBottles”. Out of open pipeends the fluid runs out and disappears. New element thermostat.
V2.4
Major changings in the graphic window management: The windows can be named now and they can be opened by short keys. The windows can be configured each so that just special elements (for example control elements) are displayed. Graphic-Filter for all elements: For each element it can be specified in which of the 16 named graphic windows it shall be displayed. Oscilloscope: The size Time/Div, which was used to adjust the size of the bend to the size of the oscilloscope is just used for special cases because this adjustment happens automatically now. Accelerated Entering of operands by the numbers block
V2.3
Change of data structure. Projects created with version V2.3 or higher cannot be read with versions lower than 2.3.
Beta version for fluids Beta version for thermical mass Oscilloscope : New adjustments for gathering rate INTs and WORDs can be scaled now.
For the valve, the joint and the heating a linear mover can be chosen as drive.
Correction of an error in TAD and /I
V 2.2
Improvement of the chain
New element master switch New drive forward/backward fast/slow (4 bit)
Correction of errors in BTI and BTD (convert BCD to integer)
Improvement of the distance sensor
Generator repetition rate can be less than 1 sec now.
V 2.1
Project comment : Project|Comment
Improved import of operands from the machine to the PLC. Mark the element and click on the “?.??” in FBD/LAD . In STL editor only via the context menu.
V 2.0
Editing utility stripe: Only the elements inside the stripe are visible.
Editing utility cross: New elements do not longer lie on the ground resp. stick onto the wall.
Divider: cuts dynamics Melter: melts two or more dynamics to a single one Shifter: shifts dynamics Wedge: makes distance between dynamics Press: presses dynamics so that they become smaller
V 1.8
Chain: moves several elements (e.g., hooks) along a closed polygon. Poke: enables the PLC program to modify element properties. Attractor: all graphic windows where this function is enabled keep the attractor in the middle of the field of view. Sticker : sticks on dynamics and can serve as a fix point for other elements. 3-D point of view can be activated by the PLC program. Resolver for transporter, works also for the chain, the turntable and the arc belt.
It is possible to print several PLC blocks in one step now : PLC|Print
V 1.7
Extended navigation utilities: in the PLC program, the symbol table, the address table and the cross reference there is a context menu now.
Dynamics can shift each other now, e.g., to simulate a jam.
STL, FBS, LAD : Large extension of the breakpoint function: conditioned breakpoints, single step, single network, trace
STL, FBD, LAD: Context menu with right mouse click: Open (when cursor is in a line with FB/FC/DB), Symbol table (is opened at the right position), Cross reference (is opened at the right position).
Machine : New element speed trigger: the simulation rate can be modified dependent on a bit in the PLC.
Linear mover : the “linear mover with limit switches” is called linear mover with sensors now, and is also equipped with a position detection.
Oscilloscope : new adjustment for time/div
Open block window : context menu with right mouse click: Open, Erase, New Block
block numbers that are already used are not suggested any longer.
STL: the error “sometimes large networks are displayed badly or none at all” (only Win95) is corrected.
Bar code scanner is now capable of writing the code, too. It can also detect the color of the dynamics. Distance sensor to detect the distance to a dynamic Digital display can display REALs and DINTs now.
V 1.6
FBD, LAD, STL : a called block can be opened with double click
LAD : the display of large networks is accelerated.
FBD, LAD : improvements when inserting blocks behind timer and counter
FDB, LAD : correction of the error "when selecting a FB/FC the message Access Error is displayed”
FDB, LAD : vertical scroll bars
Pointer : correction of the error "P#0.0 is converted to P#P0.0 automatically"
Edit masks : father and master lists are sorted alphabetically
Element tree : elements are sorted alphabetically
Semi dynamics (storable) do not fall through the conveyor belts at start.
Oscilloscope : analogue values can be displayed now.
New element bar code scanner
Dynamics can be tagged with a bar code. See here : generator
Drop in depth for dynamics leads to a more realistic behaviour.
In named groups several elements can be joint together.
3-D point of views can be stored now.
Library -function for aggreations of elements
The declarations of SFBs/SFCs are automatically imported.
Data type STRING is now available
Extented uses of UDTs is possible now
Runtime version for easy distribution of projects to customers with two 1.44MB Disks (in demo version not supported)
Many errors in the handling of ARRAYs are corrected.
Local instances / Multi instances
Many of import errors are corrected.
Acceleration of simulation when many dynamics are simulated.
Shortening of duration need to mark many elements.
V 1.5
New element joint New element bar
V 1.4
3-dimensional view of the machine.
