Table of contents

An update for eWON running firmware 5 is available with revision 5.7

Main changes :

  • Required for new eWON type 2001CD, 4001CD, 2101CD and 4101CD and for new modem types
     
  • Task Planner:
    With the Task Planner, eWON is now able to easily schedule some actions (like send eMail, put a file by FTP) to be done at a specific rate (like every day at 8:00, every Monday, every 2 hours ...)
    See chapter 3.3.1.5 Task Planner  on the General Reference Guide

    A new Basic instruction: ONDATE  allows script to use also the Task Planner to trigger some scripts on a scheduled way.
    See ONDATE  on the Programing ReferenceGuide

     
  • IOServer S7-200 improvements:
    PPI Multimaster on Serial port (previously only with MPI port)


Detailed list of changes:

ADDED: BASIC: ERASE command has been extended in order to allow deletion of history file (hst_alm.txt, events.txt, ircall.bin)
FIXED: eSyncDM:  data transfert scheduling  was not working
ADDED: BASIC: add ON DATE basic command to perform basic actions on a given time interval.
ADDED: PLANNER: add web configurable planner to allow execution of unconnected actions (send EMAILs, PUT FTP, send SMS, send SNMP TRAPs) on a given time inteval.
ADDED: BASIC: a new Fieldname "SCHRST" has been added to the PRG group of the SETSYS command to clear pending actions. Syntax: SETSYS PRG,"SCHRST",1
FIXED: Tag Alarm Page: wrong example was displayed
FIXED: WIZARD: cosmetic: reset buttons replaced by reboot buttons
FIXED: SNMPIO server: Status was not working when s address was specified at tag address level.
FIXED: VPN: VPN connection was closing when a new var_lst.csv was PUT on the eWON using FTP.
FIXED: PPI multimaster: download was not working on eWON MPI
FIXED: MDEX support was improved by supporting the redirection. The user can now click on the MDEX dashboard link to access the eWON web page.
FIXED: MODBUS IOSERVER: after a UnitID 255 is configured at topic level on the iosever page , general config page updates and basic save operation do not fail anymore
FIXED: Some configurations could not be reloaded in newer firmware. Config memory size now reflects actual saved data. Each tag and users requires an additional amount of memory that was allocated on the 256KB config memory.
FIXED: JAVA: FileConnection.rename function is now working
FIXED: MODBUS IOSERVER: The Advanced Parameter "TcpPort" to define the port (<>502) used by the ModbusTCP clientwas  not functionning SINCE 5.2s0

CHANGED: When loading the BASIC program, the eWON checks it for any corruption and tries to fix it if found.

ADDED: wizard rollback: Communication parameters configured through the wizard (and the remote wizard) will only  be saved in the eWON flash in case of success of wizard execution.

FIXED: VCOM: When a serial port was opened using VCOM and the STOP IOServer option was configured, the error message "gio-Server Name request does not exist" was written in the event file even when no ioserver was configured
FIXED: GSM MODEM: modem detection problem was occuring when too much network operators where present.
