**************************************************************** GP-PRO/PBIII C-Package03 SP1 **************************************************************** Aug. 31, 2004 Digital Electronics Corporation of Japan Foreword Thank you for purchasing the GP-PRO/PBIII C-Package03 software. GP-PRO/PBIII C-Package03 SP1 is a combined software package of both GP-Pro/PBIII Ver. 7.11 for Windows and Pro-Control Editor Ver. 5.10. The GP-Pro/PBIII Ver. 7.11 for Windows software (hereafter [Pro/PBIII Ver.7.11]) is designed to create screen data for Pro-face GP70, GP77R,GP2000, ST, LT, GLC100, GLC300, and GLC2000 Series programmable operator interfaces. The Pro-Control Editor Ver. 5.10 software (hereafter [Pro-Control Ver.5.10]) is designed to create ladder logic exclusively for LT, GLC100, GLC300, and GLC2000 Series programmable operator interfaces. Designed from the ground up for Windows OS, the GP-PRO/PBIII C-Package03 SP1 software provides easy-to-use, high-performance functionality. ================================================================ Table of Contents ================================================================ 0.

GP-PRO/PBIII Bug Fix List /-- GP-PRO/PBIII Ver. 7.11--/ 1. When an LT Type C project was saved using [Save As], either the protocol's name was not displayed, or a different protocol's name was displayed in the [Save as] dialog box. 2. If more than 257 text files were divided and exported as CSV files, the beginning part of each divided CSV file (except for the first and last files) was not saved properly. 3. If [Forced system setup] was selected in the Transfer Settings screenfs Setup dialog box, the GLC100 unit's extended function file (Control System File) was not transferred. 4. After a GLC300 unitfs project was sent to a GP577 unit, the GP577 unit's [Display type] was converted to [GLC300] and could not be changed back. 5. During text screen creation, if the Screen Editor was minimized and then maximized, all displayed text was deleted from the screen. 6. If a sound file was played continuously on a GP2000 Series unit, sound reproduction would pause slightly and then resume. 7. If a different screen was opened on a screen where lamps and other Parts were being called up, the state of each Part was not properly displayed. 8. If a Rockwell (Allen-Bradley) [AB SLC500 DH485] model PLC was designated as the connection device, and a base screen was opened that called a screen set to use a D-Script, the Screen Editor was shut down. 9. The [Text Table Converter] Wnn conversion feature did not operate correctly. 10. If the MultiLanguage feature was in use for two or more Text (X) screens and a screen was displayed using the Tool Bar's [next screen is opened] button, the [GP Font Setting] checkbox's check mark was removed and all screen text became garbage characters. 11. If the [Multiple Copies] and the [Copy Direction Selection] settings were changed in the Tags and Part [Duplicate] dialog box, the number to be copied was reset to the default value. 12. If Blocks were not used when setting up a Q-tag, the [Accumulated Time] and [Alarm Count] [All Clear] features were disabled. 13. If printing was performed while the [Screen Hard Copy] checkbox was checked, [Active] would display for the Q-tag information, instead of [Block 1]. 14. If text screens were copied using the [Screen Copy] command, the copy source screen numbers were used for the copied screens, instead of the designated screen offset. 15. If a Sampling Data display and a Trend Graph Data display were both used, only the first portion of previous Trend Graph Data was displayed. 16. If a Part or a Tagfs symbol was deleted that had previously been set to [Indirect] and then changed back to [Direct], the symbol would reappear when the screenfs data was transferred to a GP/GLC. 17. In the Project Manager (Hierarchical Display), text screen data was not updated. 18. If a text screen that included both one-byte characters and double-byte characters was displayed on the GP/GLC, characters outside the specified display area were displayed in black, and even after the screen was switched, the black characters would remain. 19. Even though one address was specified in [Address Conversion], addresses following the specified address were also converted. 20. In the [Display Logging Setting] areafs [Display Settings] dialog box, the address designated for the Data Display Format was not updated to the address set previously. 21. After a number of base screens were created and one was selected in the Project Manager (Hierarchical Display), if [Rename] was selected and a different screen number was clicked (selected), garbage characters appeared in the [Description] field. 22. In the Project Manager (Hierarchical Display), if the [Utility] area's [Text Table Converter] was selected and the [Close] button clicked on, the Database folder was highlighted. 23. If a CF Startup system was created for a GP2300S using an English OS PC, a Japanese CF Startup system was saved in the CF card. 24. With an ST402 project, if [SiemensAG/S7MPI] was selected for the PLC type, if [Extended SIO script protocol] was selected and [RS-422 (2-wire)] was set for the communication method, the communication method would return to the default setting (RS-422 4-wire). 25. When opening GP-270 screen data using C-Package02 or a later version of the screen editor, the screen size became large and the screen size property exceeded 100%. 26. To use a 2-Port Adapter II with the ST400 unit, if [‚Q-port adapter{GPH] was selected and [OK] was clicked, the alarm message [It could not be available] appeared. 27. If [HIDIC-S10ƒ¿] (manufactured by HITACHI, Ltd.) was selected for the [Device/PLC] and a simulation was performed, when the GP/GLC wrote data to a 32-bit device, the Low/High order was reversed, with [L] data being changed to [H], and vice versa. 28. Only COM1 can be used for a simulation. 29. When the [Use MultiLanguage] checkbox was checked while entering text in the text screen, the text table number was not correctly displayed in the Editor. 30. If no project was created and the Project Manager (Hierarchical Display) area's [Easy Com Settings] button was clicked, the Screen Editor was shut down. 31. If [Touch] was selected for the [Start] option and [None] was selected for [Popup] in the [Keypad Input Display] area's [General Settings] tab, in the [Parts List]fs [Popup] area [Exists] would appear and a U-tag keypad could not be placed on the screen. 32. 1000 files of CSV data could not be transferred to the GLC unit. 33. Address conversion processing required an unusual amount of time. 34. When an X-tag text screen was designated as MultiLanguage, garbage characters were created. 35. The ST unit could not perform serial-type automatic data transfer. 36. When the screen data was received from the GLC unit, the logic program data could not be received. 37. If the pop-up keypad location was designated in the [Keypad Input Display] dialog box [General Settings] tab and a D-Script was used, the Editor was shut down. 0-2. Pro-Control Bug Fix List /-- Pro-Control Ver. 5.10--/ 1. After array variables were allocated to I/O settings using the drag & drop feature, variable attributes changed from [Internal] to [Input/Output]. 2. Performing a partial import in [Fix Variable] mode created variables. 3. In [Fix Variable] mode variables were created for array elements. 4. After a previously non-existing label was allocated to the JMP instruction operand, it was replaced with a JSR instruction. When a subroutine was created using this label name, however, an error message saying" is not a valid subroutine name..." appeared. 5. When the drag & drop feature was used on the right side of the Editor, the screen scrolled to a blank area on the right. 6. The Screen Editor's display would not scroll when using a wheel-type mouse. 7. In the LT unit's OFFLINE mode, the characters [Reserve] in [Controller setting 2] were not in the correct position. 8. In the GLC Ladder Monitor, if a Timer/Counter variable was used in parenthesis for an array or X/B/W specification, the variable name and variable value were not correctly displayed. 9. In the GLC Ladder Monitor, if the GLC Ladder Monitor switch ("End" button) and rung number display button were pressed while a search feature message was displayed, the GLC Ladder Monitor screen would freeze. 10. Even if power did not pass through the rung, the [#Overflow] flag was cleared in the RAD and TAN instructions. 11. After the LT unit was [Reset], the [#FaultRung] value was not cleared. 12. If SCL/SCR instructions were used to perform a 1-bit shift or a 32-bit shift, the carry did not change. ================================================================ 1.GP-PRO/PBIII C-Package03 SP1 New Features ================================================================ ---------------------------------------------------------------- 1-1.
