The following additions / modifications were performed since 2008 version:
- Executable Files - generated with Microsoft VS 2008. (2009.01)
- File Interface - NTMC can now send / receive data via a specified
disk file. (2009.01).
- NPPD Application Server - has a new parameter which can be used to
discontinue modem usage. (2009.01).
- Twin Load Points - Load points can now be assigned one (and only
one) twin load point in LMEX. Twin load points are secondary load points
which operate right after primary
load operation, as opposed to secondary loads, which operate after load
management cycle has completed. Twin load points can be chain-linked. (2009.01)
- Post Operation Polling - Logic was modified to include operations
which do not result in control point state change. (2009.01)
- Modbus Driver Enhancement - Added State 0 and State 1 register
value parameters in control points for operation via Modbus protocols. The
operator assigned values are uploaded to specified Modbus register whenever
control point is operated (Generic Modbus drivers only). (2009.02).
- Remote Channel Switching - Custom code for a customer was added,
IOEX switches two communications channels by operating remotely antenna
selection relays. (2009.02)
- New Reports i n MCDA - TOTAL and MEAN are now computed and appended
to MCDA exports. (2009.08)
- I/O Point Alarms - Start and End Time of Day for I/O point alarms
were added. (2009.08)
- One-Line Diagrams Expansion - Fluid tank, with real time fluid
level updating, was added to on-line diagram library. (2009.10)
- Context Menu Availability in One-Line Diagram Screens - was
adjusted. (2009.10)
- Timed Control Point Operation - to State 1 was added, together with
a parameter which enables / disables the feature. Timed control points can
now be turned to state 1 (ON) just like latched control points. Previously
they would be left to time-out. (2009.10)
- Reinserting of Loads in OFF State - Feature was added to LMEX.
Operator can now refresh all loads that are OFF with a push of a button,
either globally, or on a metering point level. (2009.13)
- Load State Reinserting Time Slots - More time slots for Load State Reinserting
algorithm were added (now 24). LSR manager can now be used to update timed
switches at specially designated times of day if so desired. (2009.13)
- Remote Channel Switching - more fine-tuning of this IOEX driver.
(2009.14)
- Comverge RTC Support - Fine-tuning of this IOEX driver. (2009.17)
- Outgoing SMTP Server port Number - MCSA has a new parameter for
outgoing SMTP server port number. WebLink was modified to use the new
parameter. (2009.18)
- Number of Lines per Printed Page - in list displays was modified to
accommodate for changes in latter Windows XP service packs. (2009.20).
- Continuous Sounding Alarms - were added. (2009.21).
- Repetitive Poll Failure Alarms - can now be filtered. (2009.21).
- Meter Reading - of meters which failed on previous command. One
such new command was added for latest reads, billing reads, and data
downloads, respectively. (2009.24)
- MCDA Commands - Each command now has its own archive directory path
parameter. (2009.25)
- Auto-Archive - time of day parameter was added to all executives.
Auto-archiving could only happen at midnight up to this change. (2009.25)
- Archive Logging - is now done only for I/O points where there is
some data to be archived. Points with no data to be archived produce no log entries.
This is to save log file space. (2009.25)
- Failed Poll Delay - parameter was added to RUEX - this enabled is
to pause all activities a specified number of seconds after a failed poll.
(2009.27)
The following known problems were corrected since 2008 version:
- Error Reporting Bug - A function which reports subsystem failures
could itself fail - this would occasionally cause a crash, the problem was corrected. (2009.01).
- DNP Driver Problem - Momentary control point confirmations would
not be properly processed by the driver, resulting in nuisance alarms. The
problem was corrected. (2009.02).
- Remote Channel Switching - Driver (see above) timing was adjusted.
(2009.03)
- DNP Driver Adjustment - Messages not meant for NTMC hosting DNP
driver are now rejected on Data Link level. (2009.04)
- Communications Channel Reinitialization - which happens on failed
poll was modified. (2009.05)
- Remote Channel Switching - Driver (see above) was reworked one more
time. (2009.06)
- Copy Remote Unit - Command contained a bug which would corrupt RUEX
database. The bug was fixed and database maintenance program was written and
distributed when necessary. (2009.06)
- Modbus Driver - The driver would no longer check for function 6
returns. The problem was corrected. (2009.07)
- Route Programming - A problem in NeXGen route programming would cause
routes to be programmed incorrectly in certain circumstances. The problem
was corrected. (2009.09)
- Evaluator Problem - Evaluators would incorrectly read status point
and control point values. The problem was corrected. (2009.10)
- Licensed I/O Point Count - NeXGen units no longer count diagnostic
I/O points towards licensed I/O point count. (2009.10)
- Timed Control Point Operation - to State 1 (see above) logic was
fixed. (2009.11)
- kW Available for Control - calculation in metering point would
differ slightly from the one executed in LMEX schedules, resulting in
inconsistent displays. The calculations are now identical. (2009.12)
- Timed Control Point State Reporting in NTMCRDR - When control point
was marked for time-out, but still OFF, incorrect state (ON) was be reported
to NTMCRDR files, resulting in slightly incorrect AOT reports. The problem
was corrected. (2009.12)
- One-Line Diagram Flicker - Screens would flicker excessively during
polling - the problem was corrected. (2009.18)
- Control Point State Evaluation - developed a problem - evaluator
code was corrected. (2009.19)
- DNP Driver Time Book-Keeping - bug which caused occasional irregular
readings was corrected. (2009.23)
- E-Mail / SMS Message Dispatching - problem was corrected. A race
condition would occasionally prevent some messages to be dispatched
promptly. (WebLink 2008.06)
- MREX Code Dispatcher - in RUEX had a bug which would, on rare
occasion, hang RUEX. The bug was removed. (2009.26)
- AOT Reports - generated from RUEX would be wrong when data
recording files contain multiple, consecutive OFF records. The bug was
removed. (2009.28)
