1 of 4 Patch 1.1 for SoMachine V4.3 - Release Notes | Schneider Electric


2. IMPORT ANT INFORMAT ION
2.1.1. Installation
The Patch 1.1 is delivered as a container file in SECO format and can only be installed after installing
SoMachine V4.3.

Use the SoMachine Configuration Manager (SCM) to install this Patch.

In Windows Explorer, double-click the SECO file delivered through this Patch, which will start SCM and the
installation.

Alternatively, you can start SCM manually, change to the tab "Add-Ons/Patches" and choose "From File >"
to open the delivered SECO file.

The installation of the Patch 1.1 requires administrator privileges to start.

Note: Patch 1.1 can also be installed on top of SoMachine V4.3 Patch 1.

2.1.2. Considerations
This patch contains new firmware for the Modicon M241/M251. Therefore, you should update the firmware of
these controllers when using SoMachine V4.3.

2.1.3. Improvements
File Format Utility library
The function block FB_ReadCsv supports different character codes for line breaks in the same file.
Whenever the logic detects the character codes CRLF, LF, or CR this is interpreted as a line break.
The function block FB_ReadCsv in ReadMode OneRow reads also the row if the row number to read is
greater than the maximum number of rows in TableReadValues.

GMC libraries

 ILx2 (Ethernet IP) drives:


implemented enhancement to relieve the limit switches with the function blocks MC_Home,
MC_Jog, Home_ILX and Jog_ILX.

Quality improvements:

 Avoids exception during modification of a Modbus TC P C hannel. Keep existing variables


associated to Modbus TC P channel after modification of the channel’s settings or w hen
adding new channels.

 Avoids exception, and correction of the behavior, of the EtherNet/IP connections editor while
using a dedicated imported Ethernet/IP EDS file.

 Allows to open Release Notes of SoMachine V4.3 from C entral’s Help C enter.

 Avoids exception during C entral’s startup due to negative window height.

 Allows one-step conversion of controller M258 to LMC 078.

 Avoids “Hidden POU” compiler error during build of a project created with SoMachine V3.1
and opened in SoMachine V4.3 without update.

 Makes Ethernet/IP device editor more robust by allowing also EDS files containing hex -coded
default values.

 Keeps TM5 module addresses after updating a project from SoMachine V4.1 SP2, even while
adding afterwards new TM5 modules.

 Avoids warning during usage of library “Ethernet IP Remote Adapter” on a LMC 078
controller.

 Avoids Mast task exception when using TM4PDPS1 (Profibus)

 Avoids loss of file system with application using Webserver. Fixes a nonconformity when
using WebVisu.

Improvement of the stability and quality of the OPC UA Server on Modicon M241/M251.

2.1.4. Improvements of Patch 1.1 compared to SoMachine V4.3


Patch 1
Compared to SoMachine V4.3 Patch 1, the Patch 1.1 includes a fix of the FTP server on the Modicon
M241/M251 Firmware. With Patch 1.1, FTP downloads of files exceeding 256 Ko will be successful under
normal circumstances.

2.1.5. Limitations
In some cases, EtherNet/IP connection between Controllers Modicon M241/ M251 and drive restarts
automatically and the drive communication error cannot be reset.
A workaround is to increase the timeout multiplier (see following picture).
