HMI update 05/08/2019

• All programs/installers are once again code signed.


• A customer was using a 900 MHz modem with the MODBUS serial RTU driver. Noise from an unknown source was causing the HMI to cease recognizing valid response packets. The issue has been resolved.

Update 03/11/2019

• Added an “OnAlarmEvent” script command. A script can be called when an alarm is added to or removed from the “Active alarm list”.

• Released a free AB Logix simulator. It was designed for use when the hardware/software of the external device was not available and HMI testing/proofing was required. The simulator might be of use to others. See the simulator help file for services supported.

HMI update 02/08/2019

• Added the ability to create static graphics at runtime via scripting. The created static graphics can also be changed at runtime via scripting.
