Error corrections 5.4 AX OPC Server

– User-defined data types

User-defined data types that have been used in the
global variable list, led to a crash of PC Worx when the From Version 3.0.82 onwards the AX OPC server supports
“Process Data Workspace” was opened. the PC WORX SRT controller.
– IP addresses of Ethernet interfaces
For controllers with several Ethernet interfaces, the IP
addresses of the individual Ethernet interfaces must not
be located in a subnet.
To date, the correct configuration caused a warning
message.
This error has been rectified. From now on, PC Worx
reports an error when the IP addresses are located in
the same subnet.
Known limitations and errors

– Moving controllers in the bus structure
When you move a controller in the “Bus Structure”
window, it may happen that the IP address of the
controller is changed to the next free valid address.
– Path where installation is stored
During installation of the AUTOMATIONWORX
Software Suite the memory path must not contain a
period “.”. This will cause the software to crash when
started.
– Error when a new project is created
When you create a new project the “Error during
copying the assemblies” error message may appear.
In this case, close PC Worx and then open the tool
“Security Settings” via the menu “Start, All Programs,
Phoenix Contact, AUTOMATIONWORX Software
Suite XX, Tools” in the taskbar of your PC. Click “OK” in
the “Security Settings” tool.
After the tool has been completed, the error will no
longer occur when a new project is created.
– Error when using the FDT/DTM functions
The latest DTM version must be installed when a
Generic HART DTM from ICS GmbH is used. Generic
HART DTM version < 5.3 cause problems when the
project is saved with PC Worx.
– Interactions with Startup+
Parallel operation of programs from the
AUTOMATIONWORX Software Suite and Startup+ is
usually possible. However, when you remove a
program it is necessary to do a repair installation for the
product that is to remain on the PC.

message is likely to appear if a PROFINET device was
added in the bus configuration. At the beginning of the
compilation process, the bus configuration is saved at
first when using the “Make” or “Rebuild Project”
function. During the compilation process, addresses
are calculated which are written back to the bus
configuration. This is the reason why the above
message is output when transmitting the project. The
result after compilation already contains the
modifications so that transmission could be continued.
During transmission with source code, the bus
configuration that was present before compilation
would be sent to the controller. For safety reasons, the
“Make” function should therefore be called again prior
to transmission.
– Use of touch displays
When using type TD 1030T touch displays, all signals
of the touch display must be linked to variables in the
control program; only then, the device configuration is
valid. Otherwise, the “I/O variable 'PND_~' does not
match any I/O group” error message is output. The
variables, especially the string variables for the labels,
should be pre-initialized with useful values, however,
they must not necessarily be used in the program code.

Bitwise addressing of shared and system memory

Using variables with a single bit size, shared and system

the memory areas, as multiple Boolean variables can be
stored in one single byte.
EPLAN coupling
The data exchange with EPLAN P8 has been updated. The

15.7 AX DTM Library
New IB IL SGI 1/CAL DTM

The library contains a new DTM for the IB IL SGI 1/CAL
INTERBUS module. The DTM provides functions for
configuration, calibration and access to the alibi memory of
the device.
Error removal
Settings, in particular communication settings, will be
synchronized when using the DTMs from this library
together with the Config+ and PC Worx products. This
synchronization has not been executed correctly in previous
versions. This error has now been removed. Thus, all
settings made automatically or manually in the network
configuration of Config+ and PC Worx are also available in
the DTMs now.
