PocketPC


Windows CE 5.0 support

PVI support for Windows CE 5.0 platforms (PP100, PP40/50, Windows Pocket PC)

PVI DataLogger


Termination condition no longer works

PVI Manager


With a certain registration sequence, RF=0 results in a data event never being triggered.

If a process object is only setup with EV=e and then EV=d or EV=ed is set, the data event is not triggered until the next cyclic read. WhenRF=0, no cyclic read is triggered. Now a read is always started after a change to the "ed" events.


In Windows Vista PVI Manager doesn't work as service.

In Windows Vista the PVI Manager can not be operated as a service.


When the PVI manager is active, a dongle can only be read once

Once the PVI manager is started, the dongle can only be read one more time. If you call BrSecChk.exe again, the dongle can no longer befound. The problem only occurs with the LPT1 dongle holder on the APC.A USB dongle can be read multiple times even when the PVI manager is running.


USB / LPT dongle request blocks communication for approx. 300 ms

When using a USB or LPT dongle, communication with the PLC is blocked for approximately 300 ms each minute.


PVI OPC Server


OPC server returns no data anymore

In a configuration with multiple PVI connections (local and remote), after a short failure of one or more remote PVI connections data is nolonger received from the OPC server.

PVI Services .NET


Callbacks overwrite the write buffer of structure members

If the write buffer of a structure is written with Var.Active=True, the write buffer is overwritten before the structure is written to the control(changing the value on the control causes callbacks).


Structures can no longer be resolved correctly.

With PviServices 2.5.3.27 (Development 2.5.3.3009), structures can no longer be resolved.


ErrorCode is not reset after a connection is broken and reestablished

After a connection is broken and reestablished, the ErrorCode property is not reset for the CPU and variable object in the connected event.

PVI Setup


Section numbers are not output during PVI developer setupSection numbers are not output during PVI developer setup

When setting up the PVI developer, no sections numbers are shown in the component selection list. These section numbers are needed forauto−install mode.


Exit code not set when error occurs

When the PVI setup is opened from the command line (in auto−install mode), the exit code is not set when the following errors occur:− The PVI setup is installed in a write−protected directory− The PVI manager is running


Error messages when opening the PVI OPC Configurator

When starting the PVI OPC Configurator, error messages appeared stating that the OS9 Arcnet and MTC lines could not be loaded.

PVI Web Server


PviWebserver − Registry keys for line DLLs missing

If the setup is run on a computer that has never had an older PVI setup installed, the B&R PVI webserver can't be used, because it can't findthe corresponding registry keys for the line DLL.

Tools − PVITransfer


With Windows 2000, CF can only be created once without administrator rights

If a CF is created in Windows 2000 without administrator rights, on some PCs this process can't be repeated. During the second attempt no CFis displayed, so the process no longer works.The PC must be restarted in order for a second CF to be generated. This problem does not occur when the user has administrator rights.


CD creation: No relative paths are entered for the command "CFRestoreFiles"

If a CD is created from a .pil file that contains the "CFRestoreFiles" command, it will not work. The problem is that the paths are not entered asrelative paths for the "CFRestoreFiles" command.


Dialog box for selecting the CF appears in the background


If a CF is created automatically using the .pil file, under certain circumstances the dialog for selecting the CF appears in the background.


CF creation: Image file can no longer be created after process is canceled

If the process is cancelled while creating an image file, an image file can then no longer be created. The dialog window must be closed andreopened before an image can be created again.


"CFGenerate" command: Path for USER partition data can not be entered as a relative path

For the CFGenerate command, if the path for the USER partition data is entered as a relative path, even though it is correct it will result in anerror message stating that the directory does not exist.


CF images can't be restored on 64 MB Silicon Systems CF cards

If an image is created from a 64 MB SanDisk or Silicon Systems CF card, the image file can be restored, but the resulting CF card doesn'twork. The respective target system (e.g. PP400) can't be started with this CF card.This problem only occurs when the image is restored on a 64 MB card from Silicon Systems. If the image is restored on a 64 MB card fromSanDisk, the error doesn't occur.


"RemoteInstallGenerate" command doesn't copy directory for USER partition

If a directory is specified for the USER partition, it is not copied when generating the remote install structure.


CD creation: The file "bootrom_pp400.sys" is missing from the output directory

When a CD is created from a PP300/PP400 project, the file "bootrom_pp400.sys" is missing from the created directory. As a result, the CDthat is created cannot be used to setup a CompactFlash card for a PP300/PP400 device.

Workaround:The file "bootrom_pp400.sys" must be manually copied from the PVI Transfer installation folder to the output directory.


CF creation: Problems (CPU never finishes booting) with AR 2.92 for large HW configurations

When the PVI Transfer Tool is used to create a CF for AR 2.92 (or higher), and the HW configuration is large, the CPU gets stuck in the bootprocedure and never finishes. The reason for this is that the default setting for the SYSTEM partition of the PVI Transfer Tool is too small.

Workaround:The size of the SYSTEM partition must be increased manually before creating the CF.


CF creation doesn't work if one has read only access to the project directory

When the user only has read only access to the project from which a CF should be created, the CF creation is completed without errors, butthe resulting CF is empty.The problem occurs, for example, when a user tries to create a CF from a project that is stored on a network (where he or she has read onlyrights). The CF is created without errors, but is empty.


"WriteVariableListToPLC" command doesn't work with TIME variables

If the command "WriteVariableListToPLC" is used to write a TIME variable to the PLC, the TIME value does not reach the PLC correctly. If,however, the function "WriteVariable" is used, everything works fine.


Variable watch: Structure components are only shown partially

If the command "VariableWatch" is used to monitor multiple structure components from the same structure, only the first structure componentis ever shown, all others are not.


"Create remote install structure" does not work without operating system file

If you select the option "Installation/Update of Automation Runtime" and begin the process of creating a remote install structure without havinga valid .pil file, the PVI Transfer Tool will crash.



New command: "CFService": Partitions a CF

The new "CFService" command can be used to partition a CF card without copying data to it.


New command "ARUpdateFileGenerate": Adding the sysconf to the AR update file

The "ARUpdateFileGenerate" command is used to generate an AR update file (.br) from an AR base file (.s*). The AR update file can then betransferred directly to the PLC, where it updates Automation Runtime. You can also add .br modules such as sysconf.br to the AR update file.

Tools − PVITransfer 3.01.00.0002


"CFRestoreFiles" command with partition data doesn't create a BootLoader with PP400 CF

If the command "CFRestoreFiles" is used to generate a CF with partition data for a PP400, the PP400 doesn't boot. On the PP400 you get themessage "No boot device present. Halting".


User mode: Progress bar remains in the same place for very long time

If multiple commands are called in sequence in user mode (using "include" command), the progress bar stops moving for a long time. Thisproblem occurs when a command is used that takes a long time (e.g. CFRestore). For the user, it appears that the process has frozen.


User mode: "Initialization..." dialog box stays on screen

In user mode, the "Initialization…" output stays in the middle of the screen throughout the initialization phase. During long initialization phasesthis dialog box is usually in the way, and the process cannot be stopped during this time.


User mode: Updates to the layout

The following changes were made to user mode:− In order to display the progress better, there are now 2 progress bars (current command and total progress)− New command "CustomModeSettings": This command makes it possible to turn the online status on/off (connection status and PLCinformation) during runtime.
