PROBLEM FIXED

6182

Networking

After many hours of running in redundancy mode, the Networking function would raise an exception when more than one thread modified the same variable.

13131

Redundancy

Updating variables from the Primary to the Secondary server would fail in cases in when the cache filled with historical data at the same time numerous Alarm events occurred.

13199

Redundancy

The Redundancy (or Networking) would stop working in cases of a 'Catastrophic failure' error on the Secondary when connected to the Primary.

9312

Screen Objects

Movicon would raise an exception when loading a Trend Object or enabling the Trend object's pens when the option used for loading data in background was active.

12658

Tools

While using the MySQL ODBC PlugIn the'RestoreFlushData' tool would not retrieve data saved when any ODBC errors were resolved.

12991

Web Client

The Applet Java would freeze upon page change when page was displayed in an 'Embedded Screen' object containing a Chart object.

Minor Problems

ID

TOPIC

PROBLEM FIXED

12700

Alarm Management

The TimeStamp relating to the Alarm for a threshold set to True with the 'AlarmThresholdCmdTarget' VBA interface's 'DateTimeFromTimeStamp' propertyh would continuously report data incorrectly ('29/12/1899 23.00.00').

13070

Alarm Management

The Variables set in the Commands on Event properties of Alarm Thresholds would not go into use when connected to the field in Output the commands would have no effect.

12573

Alarm Management

The Alarm Dispatcher would not send Child project alarm notifications correctly in Parent-Child project situations if the Child was 'Executable' and in 'Auto Run' (module).

13462

Basic Scripts

The GetSynopticInterface() function from the 'PmeDocCmdTarget' interface would fail and issue the 'Interface not registered'(0x80040155) error in Windows Vista operating system with 'UAC ON'. To Work-Around this problem, Movicon had to be started up at least once with the 'Run as Administrator' open even though with UAC ON.

12767

Basic Scripts

The 'SaveImageToFile()' function from the 'SynopticCmdTarget' would ignore the parameter relating to the saved image's Quality therefore all the files that were generated had the same size and depth in Bit.

13648

Comm.Drivers

When selecting the SNMP Driver from the Driver list, its description incorrectly stated that no activation code was needed.

13451

Data Loggers Management

In some cases the Data Logger would drop tables when not necessary to do so.

12488

Design

Applying the Zoom Off by dragging the Mouse on the Trend would raise an exception in Movicon. This problem was worked around by disabling the option for loading data in background with a separate thread.

12417

Design

'Activation context generation failed' errors would appear in the Windows Application event log relating to the localization dll (eg. *LOC.DLL) for both Movicon 11.3 and 11.4.

10396

Design

When using the MySQL ODBC the variable 'ODBC Link' functionality would not insert or update records in the RTVar table and it would not alert errors in the DBMS Log.

10296

Design

The Movicon login of Windows domain users belonging to the 'Users' group would get associated to the Movicon Windows 'Guest' group by error.

13574

Design

Changing screens using the 'Commands on Pressed Button' option would not work. This problem began happening when modification for the Multitouch in build 1150 were implemented.

12769

Design

The project's Tool Upload reported an incorrect alert in the log when logging in to the TCP upload remote Server failed.

12979

Design

In cases when zooming in on a symbol, ungrouping it and then zooming out the management responsible for the properties used for positioning symbol components would not return them back their previous positions.

12983

Design

When a symbol's 'Back Color' Animation was activated with the 'Tag is an Alarm Area' property and its list of colors were changed, Movicon would raise an exception when inserted in the Symbol Library.

13251

Design

A Trend object animated with visibility would not update the chart's curves when the visibility switched from Off to On. This problem was worked around by inserting a Refresh instruction in the Trend's 'OnTimer' VB timer.

12483

Design

When starting up Movicon with a synoptic adapted to full screen size without status bar, the window frame would appear limiting the screen borders to show at full size.

13129

Design

When the 'Sound Duration Button (ms)' property was set to '0', the sound would not stop when clicking on a button in a Pop Up opened in Modal mode that executed the 'Screen' command set with the 'Close and Return Back' action.

12795

Historical Log Management

The UNICODE characters would not get saved correctly in the logs because the conversion function has not been included in the Insert query.

13633

iOS

The iOS applet displayed a blank white page after rotated 180째 by tipping the device backwards and forwards. In this case a request was not made to the Server for the screen page because it did not recognize it had changed size when rotated at 180째.

12569

Networking

The 'Nr. Attempts to Connect' and 'Attemps Interval' setting would not get set in the tranports created for Client communication with Server.

12670

Networking

Using a Client MoviconRuntime in a Parent/Child application towards a redundant Server Movicon would raise an exception during the application shut down phase after a certain time in runtime.

12386

ODBC

Movicon would go into 'Out of Memory' and then raise an exception when the amount of data to be recorded became excessive. This problem would manifest when the variables of various data logger tables changed very quickly. This problem has been fixed so that data in the ODBC Cache is flushed when exceeding the cache's size multiplied by 10. When this limit is exceeded Movicon flushes data onto a support file and issues an error message in the log.

13658

OPC Communication

Instead of creating OPC groups for structure variable members linked to OPC Items, just one unique group is created for all members for the time being due to difficulty in optimizing the activation management of various groups.

13160

OPC Communication

In cases where the data type or value passed from the Movicon OPC server to the OPC client might have been incompatible with the Movicon variable it would not be reported in the log even when enabling the OPC Client trace.

13087

OPC Communication

A Movicon project set as OPC Server was viewed by OPC Clients as DA 3.0 compatible. In reality the Movicon OPC Server only supports the 1.0 and 2.0 interfaces.

12797

OPC Communication

The 'Synch OPC Server.' command would no work correctly in certain situations.

1263

Redundancy

Synchronization with the Primary would take a long time to complete when a great number of variables, alarms or historical data changed continuously. This has been fixed so that if the synchronization operation does not terminate within the Time = (Redundancy Timeout * Num.Attempts), a message is printed in the Log stating that synchronization went into timeout and will resume after Startup.

12758

Redundancy

Updating variables on the Secondary side would take time when a great number of variables on the Primary side changed at the same time.

12642

Redundancy

Progress was slow in creating NET variables in a Client project containing a great quantity of variables due to searching for a valid name while creating a dynamic variable.

12542

Redundancy

The Secondary could not write a variable on the Primary side when it had a consistent number of variables that changed continuously. In addition, this would block other operations such as synchronizing historical data from the secondary towards the primary (data which the primary had not yet recorded), or executing script on the secondary.

12576

Redundancy

The Primary was unable to empty the historical data cache when a great quantity of alarms or variables changed continuously.

13138

Screen Management

The Screen contained in an 'Embedded Screen' object in which a dynamic variable was used for changing the displayed screen would stop updating or the application would freeze upon displayed screen change.

13282

Screen Management

When using the 'Zoom To' command in a screen already activated with a zoom factor, the zoom would reset to 100% before using the command. This problem manifested when the zoom factor in either case resulted inferior or superior to 100%.

13271

Screen Management

Opening the same screen with the same coordinates set in the command but with two different Modal and Frame modes the screen would open in a different INCOMPATIBILITY position: the screen would open in a slightly different position in projects that had been already created.

13697

Screen Objects

Combo boxes would not display properly in the 'Alarm Window' object from the Web Viewer Library used by Web Clients when other Text objects were present.

12955

Screen Objects

When the 'Enable Button Sound' was enabled and when clicking on a Display with an active 'Show Pad' property, the sound would repeat continuously until the Numeric or Alphanumeric Pad was closed.

12650

Screen Objects

It was not possible to use variables that had been created in runtime in Color Threshold Animation expression control.

12746

Screen Objects

The Zoom would not reset when Trend returned to Run mode after a zoom-in operation.

7127

Screen Objects

Due to a Windows CE platform problem the Trend object would send MovCE into exception for consuming memory when the set font was used to determine the height of pen check boxes in a legend containing 6 pens: this problem has been fixed by drawing push buttons when the check box in the legend is too small.

13695

Screen Objects

The cursor in Slider Objects did not have the right styles, for instance the vertical cursor was used in horizontal sliders while the horizontal cursor was used in vertical sliders.

13208

Screen Objects

The 'SetSamplesValue()' function from the 'TrendCmdTarget' would not function if the Trend was loaded as 'Always in Stop' and therefore without recording samples in its buffer.

12609

Screen Objects

When a Parent project screen contained an Embedded Screen object which displayed a Child project with a Data Analysis or Trend object, the child project's datalogger or trend object would not show the pen historicals.

13260

Setup

The COMM References to the driver dlls were recorded with the wrong descriptions while installing Movicon.

12941

Setup

The information relating to the Progea URL relating to the Movicon application had not been updated in the Windows 'Control Panel - Programs and Features'. In addition the electronic signature had expired in February 2014.

13629

Setup

The 11.4.1150 version setup installed the 11.3.1105 version's CAB x86 files.

10342

Setup

The .movprj file would not get associated with 'MoviconRuntime.exe' when installing the Movicon Runtime component only.

12694

Tools

The TCP Client Service Upload vulnerability has been fixed concerning the missing authentication towards the TCP Server Upload during a version request for that server.

13698

User Interface

The meters in the toolbox window were indicated as 'Gauges' instead of 'Meters'.

13486

WebClient

Problems occurred when connecting to the sever without displaying the startup screen when the 'Static Object in Background' option both in the project properties and in Android and iOs app screen properties were enabled.

12989

WebClient

The Web Client Java Applet was not signed therefore a security error would occur and block the Applet from running when using the same Java Machine 7.0 or later versions.

13200

WebClient

The iOS App would raise an error attempting to display a page with large background images due to the fact that the iOS devices requested the Server for a page twice the size of those supported by the device's screen size.

12922

WebClient

In 4s iPhones the screen image loaded at the iOS app startup had a low quality resolution and clicks on objects were not executed in the corresponding position on the Server page.

12912

WebClient

When setting the 'Keep Connected' option to enable several error screens would show in the iOS App in cases where the connection session was restored after a connection error had occurred or when the terminal started up from stand-by mode.

12914

WebClient

Several connection error windows would open when maximum number of licenses in the iOS App was reached. This problem also concerned other error windows which reported messages such as incorrect user name and nonexistent screen.

13592

WebClient

The iOS App would disconnect from the Server when used after it had been left connected to the for some time.

12699

WinCE OS

The '_SysVar_:ActiveScreen' system variable reported the ID of the previous screen. This problem started occurring with the Movicon 1102 build.

TOPIC

NEW FEATURE

3974

Screen Objects

Data Analysis usability improved for analysing data using the buttons that change time ranges.

4018

Design

Improved 'Symbol Library' usability. Expand is the only display mode left untouched to give the symbols more space to display the contents of the category selected.

4021

Screen Objects

The animations in drawing visibility now also supports the option for medium, sloe or fast blinks. Therefore, it is no longer necessary to manage external logic for the blink effect when you can now easily use this new animation feature to set it as preferred.

3920

Design

In addition to variable names, you can now filter them by their dynamic address or description as well.

3912

Screen Management

The space occupied by the 'Screen Navigation' resource's navigation bar is now visible in design mode as well. This will allow you to avoid inserting objects within this area when working in design mode.

3940

Design

A 'Reset Windows Layout' command has been added to the 'windows' menu allowing users to reset all default positions of windows in the Movicon workspace.

3945

Design

The commands for publishing screens or reports in Web Client now support Windows VISTA IIS7 as well.

3120

Design

Two new commands have been added to the symbol tool bar for placing the selected symbol in the foreground or background.

3818

Screen Objects

Labels can also be used for XY Trend pens where a rectangle will display showing the two X and Y values corresponding to each point.

1216

Design

An option has been inserted in order to apply filters based on id in the string table.

1616

Screen Objects

A new 'Comment' button has been added in the Alarm window with which users can use for adding comments to active alarms. The comments associated to alarms are persistent and re-shown each time this command button is invoked.

2371

Design

A command has been added for updating symbols on screen or whole project that have the same public name of the one being selected.

2471

Design

The variable editor window usability has been improved.

3081

Screen Objects

The minimum and maximum values in variable engineering data are also used by the following objects:

  • Dundas Gauges

  • Numeric Pad

  • Scheduler Window

3214

Report Management

The number of configurable parameters has been extended for a report command. Now users can set and select a fixed reference period and export format when using the 'Export' command as well.

4562

Screen Objects

The public symbol management has been revised to be used during design mode with great ease when editing public symbols.

4565

Screen Management

New 'Use Antialiasing' option added for screens. When setting this option, Movicon will use the GDI+ antialiasing function for drawing borders of primitive Movicon designs and curves in Trends and Data Analysis. This option is now available for Windows CE projects, which do not support antialiasing . This antialiasing feature reduces 'scaling' or 'gradient' effects of oblique lines giving borders and images more even, flowing and clearer look.

4519

Screen Objects

Users can now manage recipes that have been configured in their project entirely through a new 'Recipe Manager' window object.

4655

ODBC

Interface plugin option inserted to enable users to choose a predefined database manager for their project. Therefore all the ODBC DSN connections that Movicon will have to create will be done using the pre-chosen plugin. This will restrict the project to using one specific DBMS allowing database connection parameters to be configured and saved in the project.

4870

Screen Objects

The 'OnResetPan' event has been inserted in the 'Trend' and 'Data Analysis' objects and is called every time the pan is reset in the graph. For example, this operation will be carried out tin the Trend when changing from stop to run mode.

4191

Design

The 'Find' command in the string table editor now searches for the entered text in all of the table's columns and not only in the string ID column like it did before.

4482

Screen Objects

Option has been added to allow users to use a numeric pad and alphameric pad for inserting data in the grid of 'Scheduler' window objects.

4584

Users Management

Functions have been inserted to allow users to recover lists of user groups and users loaded in runtime.

3111

DOM (Document Object Model)

The 'PenDLColumnName' method has been inserted in the 'TrendCmdTarget' interface to be used for reading or setting columns used by pens for retrieving historical data.

2643

WebClient

Values entered from Web Clients are hidden if data belongs to a display enabled with the 'Password Style' property.

2763

Tools

An option to set user default languages has been inserted in the runtime users editor. The will enable the language to change automatically according to the runtime user logging on to the project.

2790

DOM (Document Object Model)

Option added to allow users to save and load configurations from external XML files in all Movicon objects using basic script code. This could only be done with Trend objects beforehand.

1570

ODBC

Possibility to choose preferred database manager when using the standard wizard to create new projects. When you choose a database manager to associate to new project using the wizard, a control will be carried out to see if it is possible to connect to the DBMS, and you will also be able to modify the parameters used for connecting.

3714

Alarm Management

The list of conditions used for generating commands has increased to include the possibility to use 'not equal' and 'Between' along with the already existing conditions.

3532

Design

The 'Dynamic Property Inspector' window usability has been improved with a tab listing all variables used in symbol.

3282

Screen Objects

The order of Pens in Trends can now be modified without having to delete them and reinserting them again.

3923

Tools

Tool used for importing and exporting variables to and from CSV files has been improved.

4020

Design

The color, text and bitmap lists now can be modified for multi object selections.

4017

WebClient

Web Client usability has been improved to manage modal windows in the center of the middle of the monitor near browser and to manage progress bar while loading pages.

114

Screen Objects

A new category of selectors and switches has been added which include those with three state mechanics.

1207

DOM (Document Object Model)

The 'PenStyle' method has been added to the 'TrendCmdTarget' basic interface with which you can use to read or modify Trend pen styles.

2256

Screen Objects

The Trend XY 1000 value limit has been extended to 10,000 values. Therefore optimizing redesigning graphics according to a higher number of points.

3216

Design

Screens can now be associated to 'Embedded Screen' objects much quicker by using the drag&drop techniques.

4321

Screen Objects

The alphanumeric pad can now be used for inserting data into grid object cells.

4123

Design

The Variable editor usability has been improved.

117

Screen Objects

A new 'Alarm Banner' object has been added to the toolbox allowing alarms to be viewed in banners.

201

Screen Objects

A field has been inserted in the Trend property window to be used for configuring the separator used for saving or exporting data to CSV files.

1493

DOM (Document Object Model)

A basic script property has been inserted in order to let users know whether a data logger or historical log has been set to use the IMDB.

3918

Tools

A new tool has been created for exporting or importing string tables to/from CSV files.

3660

Alarm Management

New option to insert comments for alarm acknowledgements (Audit-Trail). Comments are supported in client-server projects but not in Web Client.

3685

Screen Objects

The IP Camera viewer object update image times can now be modified using a variable in runtime. When setting a '0' value, the loaded image will be frozen on screen.

5010

Historical Log Management

Setting the 'MaxLogFiles' DWORD value 'equal to '0' in Windows configuration registry 'General' key will completely disable the creation and recording of data in the application's log file to help avoid writing in those devices which support Compact Flash as much as possible.

5097

Design

A warning message now appears when opening symbols libraries created with a previous Movicon version, asking user whether library should be saved using the upgraded version of Movicon.

4591

Networking

A 'Connection Variable' field has been added to the RAS station properties in which numeric variables can be set. This variable consents to connecting and disconnecting to the RAS station on command, whereas before calls were automatically made in cases where at least one variable in use needed to be connected to a RAS server.

4322

Screen Objects

20-20 system. Also, its fastest processing ability keeps you productive all the time. In addition, it offers you customizable shortcuts and automatic alignment and straightens for smart work.

Two new options have been added in object properties for enabling or disabling the loading and saving of associated object configuration files in automatic when objects are being loaded or destroyed. In this way any modification done in runtime can be made persistent by actually exploiting the use of the configuration file.

5052

WebClient

The Web Client has been revised to support slow connections as well (56K modems or ISDN lines). In order to do this a new field had been added in the screen properties window where loading quality of the page can be set (value percentage from 1 to 100), when first requested. This will allow the page to be loaded almost at once, even though of lower quality, enabling the user to get down with work straight away from the Web Client without having to wait for the screen to be loaded at a higher quality.

5304

Recipes Management

Recipes have been given support to numeric indexes. This allows recipe activation from PLC to be managed by exchanging a numeric variable.

5356

Alarm Management

A 'Command-Status Variable' field has been added to alarm threshold execution properties. This variable can be used to obtain the alarm state or command the acknowledge or reset of alarms during runtime.

5388

Report Management

Four new parameters have been added to the textual report 'Print' command for setting print margins: left, right, top and bottom. These margins are set in millimeters and the -1 value (default value) consents the default print margins to be used which are retrieved from the driver of the printer being used.
