  • Added new message box to notify user when a new version is available for download.
  • Added rules to allow adding only PLC compatible devices.
  • Added new command Create POUs from template.
  • Added new PIO targets:
    • PIO GL-9973.
    • PIO GL-9974.
    • PIO GL-9975.
  • Added new wizard features:
    • Combo box to categorize devices during project creation.
    • Fieldbus wizard configuration (protocol + slave + amount of slaves).
    • Added start and stop system events in project template.
  • MODBUS symbol:
    • Fixed MODBUS Client/Server does not support ambiguous variables.
    • Fixed bug that integrated IO tags don’t work with Modbus.

    • Correct version displaying.
    • Removed Project Environment window.
    • Added LAN port name update for Ethernet and EtherCAT devices when upgrading projects created in previous versions to X2 HMIs.
    • Fixed behavior that caused the project to break when updating without saving first.
    • Fixed invalid version format error when updating X2 devices with Ethercat slaves.
  • Reduced CPU power consumption when logged in.

Fixes and updates:

  • Fixed window behavior not closing during code generation.
  • Fixed wizard behavior not correctly displaying Ethernet interface choices.
  • Fixed Modbus TCP Slave configuration tabs that were not displayed.
  • Fixed exception when lost connection to the PLC.
  • Fixed compilation error when using J1939 ECU device in projects with X2 modules.
  • Fixed Gateway conflict message with other Gateways already installed.
  • Fixed incorrect channel and description texts in integrated IO page.
  • Fixed keyboard shortcuts S and N for Write and Force dialogs in Portuguese language.
  • Fixed improper add of GVLs IoQualities and Modules_Diagnostic when opening project created on previous versions.
  • Fixed issue that allows Maintask interval greater than 100 ms in projects with Machine Profile.
  • Fixed missing .DLL that causes problems in Trace object of previous versions.
  • Removed the ‘Enable retain and persistent variables in function blocks’ checkbox from CPU parameters page.
  • Removed ‘Scan for Devices’ command for PROFIBUS devices.
  • Removed software license update window during startup.
  • Removed access to startup application settings.

BCS Tools in short:

  • Development, debugging, configuration, simulation and commissioning in one software.
  • Based on CODESYS 3.5 IEC 61131-3 programming with all editors (FBD, LD, IL, ST, SFC, CFC).
  • Available in four versions - Lite, Basic, Professional and Advanced.

BCS Tools includes numerous user-friendly functions for the programming and configuration of automation projects and contains fully integrated back-end functions, such as compilers, debuggers and variable trace.
