error check even though there were no errors in the project.
- An incorrect warning message displayed when the text table language
did not match the parts and common settings using the text table.
- Even if function block instructions exceeded the limit, there was no
error at error check when [Share Local Variables in Function Blocks]
was set to do not share.
<Graph>
- [Semicircle Graph] did not display correctly,
when the display unit's [Orientation] was [Landscape].
<Properties>
- The blink setting was available even though the display unit did not
support blink.
<Enhanced Recipe>
- If you sorted by all the items in the [Recipe Group] element list,
ran [Undo] or [Redo], and then removed an element, the application ended
abruptly.
<Function Block>
- You could not use the keyboard to assign a Timer variable, Counter
variable, or PID variable to an instructions's input or output operand.
<Version Reverter>
- When you saved a project with GP4201TM(Modular Type) to version
[V3.00 - V3.01], you could not open the project in the associated
version of GP-Pro EX.
- When you saved a project with GP-4301TM(Modular Type) and [Enable
Ethernet Multilink] to version [V3.00 - V3.01], sometimes opening the
project in the associated version of GP-Pro EX disabled [Enable Ethernet
Multilink].
- Even though you were not supposed to be able to save a
GP-4201TM(Modular Type) or GP-4301TM(Modular Type) project set up with
tag data on its PLC/Device to version [V3.00 - V3.01], the save operation
may have run.
<Transfer Tool>
- When running [Compare Project], some of the differences in the [Text
Table] settings appeared as [Exclusive Screen] differences.
- After running [Reduce Images to 16-Bit Colors] on an image part set to
16,777,216 colors, running [Transfer Project] caused an error message to
display.
<Project Converter>
- There were cases when you could not convert sampling groups associated
with a historical trend graph that was grouped with other objects.
7-2 Display Unit
(Runtime)
<Offline>
- After saving a project without changing any offline mode settings, there
were some differences when compared with a project with the same settings.
- After initializing SRAM from the WinGP offline menu, an error occasionally
occurred when running CF->SRAM Transfer or SD->SRAM transfer.
- On the LT3300 series and GP3300 series (except for GP-3310, GP-3360),
the [Main Unit]-[Ethernet Local Settings] did not show the MAC address
correctly.
- When real-time printing of the alarm setting is enable ,if it shifts to
offline mode after alarm generating, operations would freeze.
<Security>
- When security was enabled, you could not use Internet Explorer to access
the FTP server.
<Picture Display>
- When using image fonts in a picture display, running the [Clearing action]
occasionally erased area outside the picture.
- The mark display was occasionally distorted when two or more picture
displays showed mark images on the same screen.
- On the GP-4201TM or GP-4301TM, when you used a picture display to move
a mark, occasionally after-images remained of the mark in its original
position.
<EZ Fingerprint Recognition Unit>
- Updating unregistered fingerprint data appeared as a normal operation
when it should have been an error.
<Memory Loader>
- After using the Transfer Tool to download Memory Loader backup data,
comparison showed differences between internal data and storage.
<Screen Transfer>
- When the write filter setting was enabled and you tranferred to WinGP,
on restarting WinGP, it started in transfer mode.
- Project transfer failed after you disabled the write filter setting
while WinGP was running.
- Operations would freeze when transfering a project while there was
a Pro-Server EX data transfer error.
<CSV Display>
- Editing or saving the CSV file in the CSV display occasionally changed
the CSV file name.
<Operation Log>
- Running the SD->SRAM transfer command from the offline menu occasionally
added invalid content in the operation log.
<Message Display>
- The first time after a screen change the message display showed correctly,
but messages did not update.
<I/O driver>
- On the LT4000 series with the STD4S driver, even though you ran the PCHQ
(pulse catch input clear) instruction, it occasionally did not clear
the status of the pulse catch.
- On the LT4000 series with the STD4S driver, even though you ran the HSCQ
(stop high-speed counter) instruction, it occasionally did not change
the status of the high-speed counter.
- On the LT4000 series with the STD4S driver, after the special I/O parameter
error's system variable (#L_ExIOSpParmErr) showed an error status,
you were unable to change it back to normal status.
<Date/Time>
- On the GP4000 series (except for GP-4100 series, GP-4201TM, and GP-4301TM)
the date/time would reset to "2000/00/00 00:00:00".
- On the GP4000 series (except for GP-4100 series, GP-4201TM, and GP-4301TM),
when the SD card was not mounted and the SD Card Free Space (Memory Card
Setting) was enabled, for 5 seconds after booting, the date and time showed
"2000/00/00 00:00:00".
<Others>
- When there are frequent communication errors with the PLC, although rare,
operations would freeze.
- On WinGP, when the save destination for historical data was a folder and
the free disk space was zero, an error message did not appear even though
backup data could not save.
