The following additions / modifications were performed since 2007 version:
- Support of NeXGen - NeXGen product line support was finalized,
including PowerPoll, RURDR,
store & forward (message routing),
and two-way load management functionality.
- DNP Driver Modification - Support for several new data objects was
added to the DNP protocol driver. (2008.00)
- Poll & Control Code Dispatching - RUEX poll and control code dispatchers now sort
outgoing messages by external client id. This prevents excessive
communications switching, which is useful when multiple channels share one
part of a physical interface, but differ on another, and switching is done
by switching of a mechanical relay. (2008.00)
- Weekday AOT - LMEX now keeps track of
load point Accumulated Off Time (AOT) for every day of the week
respectively, as well as total AOT. Load management can now be done based on
total AOT or Sunday AOT. (2008.01)
- Modbus Driver Update - Added ASCII and Enron flavors of Modbus
protocol to IOEX Modbus driver. The latter only
supported Modbus RTU protocol up to this point. In RUEX,
support for 'Generic Modbus ASCII Device' and 'Generic Modbus Enron Device'
was added. (2008.02)
- WebLinkPublisher Optimization - WebLinkPublisher
was modified to bypass some of the WebLinkService
commands, and query the database directly, to speed up web page generation.
- WebLink AOT Reporting - was changed back to (d h m s) format.
(WebLink 2008.00) (2008.07)
- Display of Numeric Values - Added parameters allowing more control over display of analog values in RUEX and MCDA.
(2008.08)
- MCDA Printing - was updated to take into account new parameters
mentioned in previous section.
- Pulse Counter RURDR - functionality was updated - RUEX
now downloads and saves pulse counter RURDR
data, and automatically creates and saves pulse counter delta values as
well. MREX was modified to use values or deltas on
a meter by meter basis. (2008.09)
- NeXGen Event Log Report - was added to MCDA.
The latter takes event log data downloaded from a specified NeXGen unit, and
converts it into a human readable report. (2008.09)
- One-Line Diagrams - now load in a separate thread, this speeds up
RUEX startup. (2008.09)
- Modbus Driver Update - Added momentary control operation support to
generic Modbus driver (2008.14).
- Route Displays - Remote unit route
usage is now displayed in RUEX domain windows. (2008.15) .
- One-Line Diagrams - Added reverse state logic to 'Relay' display
elements. (2008.16).
- Evaluator Driven Control point Operation - Added control point evaluation & operation based on result of that evaluation.
(2008.19).
- Modbus Driver Update - Added TCP flavor of Modbus
protocol to IOEX Modbus driver. In RUEX,
support for 'Generic Modbus TCP Device' was added. (2008.19).
- MCDA Print Commands - were added. User can define batch print
commands (data file to load, filter to use, list / plot), which can be
executed manually or automatically (on a scheduled basis). (2008.21).
- MCDA Jobs - were added. User can add batch print commands or batch
data export commands to a job which can be executed manually or
automatically (on a scheduled basis). (2008.21).
- MCDA Commands - Previous Print Commands are now Commands,
capable of not only printing data, but also exporting data to comma
delimited files for use in spreadsheets. Commands can now also run reports
before printing / exporting data. (2008.23)
- MCDA Jobs - in view of above change, user can add one or more batch commands to a job which can be executed manually or
automatically (on a scheduled basis). (2008.23).
The following known problems were corrected since 2007 version:
- Vestas Wind Turbines - Problem in Vestas RCS protocol driver was
corrected, message length book-keeping now works correctly. (2008.00)
- DNP Driver Problem - DNP driver was issuing incorrect data
recording data download commands to NeXGen remote units. The problem was
corrected. (2008.03)
- RS232 / 485 Driver Problem - The driver developed a couple of
problems due to recent source code modifications. One of the problems would
cause IOEX to hang when there was excessive
sporadic, unsolicited serial traffic. The problem was corrected. (2008.04)
- CCEX Problem - recent code modification introduced a bug which
would cause CCEX to crash on startup. The problem
was corrected. (2008.05)
- Sharing of Modbus Channels - A problem when Modbus ASCII and Modbus
Enron channels share the same physical interface was corrected in IOEX.
(2008.06)
- WebLink Problem - Removed a bug in WebLink which would prohibit setting up of a new account on server.
(2008.00)
- DNP Driver Problem - Recent new code development introduced a bug
in the DNP driver which would cause it to time out on longer messages. The
problem was corrected. (2008.07)
- RS232 / 485 Driver Problem - Recent new code development introduced
a bug in the serial driver which would cause it to time out on longer
messages. The problem was corrected. (2008.08)
- DNP Driver Problem - A framing problem in DNP driver was corrected
- problem would flush messages in exceptional cases. (2008.10)
- Report Generation Problem - Control point state and AOT report
generator stopped working because of recent code changes. Problem was
corrected. (2008.12)
- Remote Client Problem - Creation of new analog points would no
longer work via Remote Client - problem in RUEX server was corrected.
(2008.13)
- WebLink Problem - WebLink would crash occasionally in a sorting
comparison function - .Net 2.0 framework would complain about null
references in that function even though checking for null references is
carried out in that function. Structured exception handling was added to
code in that function, hopefully resolving that problem. (2008.01)
- MCDA Printing - numbers would print out (in reports) in scientific notation
irrespective of Max. Value Size parameter. The problem was corrected.
(2008.15).
- RUEX UI Problem - RUEX User Interface would attempt to update
hidden remote units and / or I/O point, sometimes hanging RUEX. The problem
was corrected. (2008.20).
