61779

Fixed issue with no implementation of >= and <= for float Tag values when used in script.

2.40 SP7

b2.47.473

New features

65052

Update OPC Foundation UA SDK to latest version in iX.

65345

Update OPC UA SDK to v1.7.7 due to security vulnerability. Note: Old clients (iX clients created before 2.40 SP7) using deprecated security policy will not be able to connect to user's OPC UA server project (with username and password authentication enabled) after updating to this 2.40 SP7 version. This is because, the default security policy has been updated to a more secure one. If such old clients still need to be used, user can convert the iX OPC UA client projects to 2.40 SP7. If it is not possible to update the project, the user can still get the connection working by allowing deprecated security policy in the iX OPC UA server configuration, though it is not recommended from a cyber security standpoint.

Bug fixes

64517

Fixed issue with iX Runtime crash when using many Analog Numerics and Text IDs.

64744

Fixed issue with missing symbols in Runtime project.

65185

65668

Fixed issue with iX - Runtime crash if project is converted to SP7 and contain a QR code control.

2.40 SP7

b2.47.417

New features

OPC UA: Added option to configure OPC UA Client sampling settings.

Media Player: Option to scale videos in runtime.

Multiple Languages: Option to set font and font size scaling for individual languages.

On Screen Keyboard: Option to scale keyboards based on width or height of target. This solves the issue with keyboards not scaling well on high resolution targets.

Alarm Viewer: Support for Acknowledge visible and Clear visible alarms.

The existing functionality Acknowledge All and Clear will acknowledge or clear all the alarms – also in alarm groups which are not visible to the user.

To overcome this problem, two new functionalities have been added: Acknowledge Visible and Clear Visible. These will only consider alarms which are visible to the user on the current active screen, and only rows in Alarm Viewer which are fully visible.

OPC UA: Security updates from supplier.

Bug fixes

36390

Fixed issue with -1 being presented for Flash memory system tags (EOL and Lifetime) after running X2 pro panels for some weeks.

39952

Fix issue with failed import of an Information Designer project with a function key/touch key containing an empty macro. Now the conversion log will show a warning and the project will be imported.

43396

Fixed the issue with OPC UA where the tag value was not correctly updated if the value written to server is changed to previous value immediately by the server.

46882

During runtime if the user attempts to display a video in the media player that has a resolution higher than a panel itself, a warning message will be displayed.

46890

Fixed issue for OPC UA where server returns "bad" exception when client is trying to read invalid attributes on the "Tags" node.

47481

Fixed issue where momentary bits might get stuck (e.g. when Security Logout or using Enabled dynamics). A user will not be logged out anymore if automatic logout is triggered while pressing a control.

This happens for an example if the user is pressing a button (tag is set) and is logged out (via a tag action). It also happens if you disable an object via script/dynamics (while pressing the object).

56869

Solved problem with lost font size dynamics when converting project to a target with different resolution.

57190

Fixed issue with OPC UA: Build error related to number of tags and the code generation for the OPC UA tag visibility. Added possibility to use customized tag visibility for a larger number of tags.

57750

OPC UA connection time for multiple clients improved.

58032

Fixed issue with Trend Viewer showing incorrect values when changing time span. Values will now be reloaded from data logger when changing time span. This means the data will match what is shown in History mode. See reference manual for more information.

60275

Fixed issue where a mix of Russian characters and %20 in picture name will make iX crash (or fail convert screen between iX versions). Ascii code in the image path/name should no longer be an issue.

60318

Solved issue with crash in some cases when enabling WordWrap for Checkbox and RadioButton.

60580

Fixed issue where no .db would get transferred to a panel, now .db files within "Project Files" folder will be transferred.

60636

Fixed so expressions will not write to the controller when the objects are being initialized.

61053

Fixed issue with assigning network settings for many ports when exporting project. Now all ports on the target panel can be updated with network settings.

61251

Fixed issue in which an OPC UA bool value is returned from the server and is mishandled if the poll group is set to a high interval.

62256

Improved font handling for some system dialogs in PC projects, that has not been using system font settings. Affected dialogs are: Save Recipe, Load Recipe, Login, Change Password.

63521

This fix will make sure we don't use the same tag or log item in more than one curve in the trend, since this caused an issue in the trend during CE runtime. This fix will only validate trends that are edited, but existing trends will not be updated or validated when upgrading to latest version.

64397

Fixed issue with sizing of a button when using German translations.
