Hardware Configuration Issues:
ID Description
CR71631
Incompatibility between MS IntelliPoint Mouse S/W and VersaPro H/W Config.
Details: The IntelliPoint software enables you to expand Mouse properties. Under the
Visibility Tab, one of the parameters is Hide Pointer While Typing. If this parameter is
selected and you attempt to edit CPU or module parameters, the mouse pointer disappears.
Resolution: The mouse pointer re-appears once the pointer is positioned outside the H/W
Config window. If another application is selected to be in focus and then the H/W Config
window is re-selected, the pointer re-appears. Another work around is to disable the “hide
mouse pointer while typing” feature in the IntelliPoint software.
CR72999
After load of old Profibus master configuration (PBM101), verify after successful store
of HWC reports checksum and Rack&IO NOT EQUAL
Details: When loading from a PLC that contains the configuration for an older Profibus
module, the configuration is converted to the new format. However, the hardware checksum is
not recalculated which prevents the hardware configuration from being equal with the PLC
after a store.
Resolution: The user should make a small change in a hardware configuration item which will
force the hardware configuration to re-calculate its checksum. The user should also update the
PBM101 firmware to avoid this issue.
CR73061
EGD Configuration erroneously appears to be stored successfully to the CPU364
Revision 9.01, which does not support EGD.
Details:
1) Create an EGD Producer Exchange in VersaPro, Hardware Configuration CPU364
2) Connect to a 364 Firmware Version 9.01. The store will succeed with no errors reported to
the user.
3) Set the PLC to Run and try to read the exchange data. No EGD exchanges happen because
this version of firmware does not support EGD. However, VersaPro should inform the user
that the feature is not supported on the store.
Resolution: You should upgrade the CPU364 to firmware revision 9.10 or later when
configuring a CPU364 for EGD exchanges.
CR72441
Hardware configuration crashes when many PBM101 modules are added.
Details: Hardware configuration crashes when many modules of PBM101 are added to racks.
This coincided with ‘low on virtual memory message from OS’.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open VersaPro
2. Open a folder
3. Open HWC
4. Add PBM101 module in slot 2.
5. Copy the module.
6. Paste in the MAIN rack till end.
7. Goto each rack, go on pasting.
8. A message box ‘HWC: Out of memory’ appears, followed by HWC.EXE -application
error and HWC crashes.
The Windows operating system ‘low Virtual memory - close some applications’ message
came just before ‘HWC:Out of memory’ message box.
Resolution: You should not use more than 5 Profibus modules (PBM101) unless you have a
large amount of free disk space on your PC.
