EcoStruxure Machine Expert - Installation Note

In our efforts of continuous improvement, major releases such as EcoStruxure
Machine Expert V1.1 or EcoStruxure Machine Expert V1.2 may have some minor
releases thereafter to improve quality, add minor features or add hardware that
may not have been available at the time of the major release. These minor
releases will update the existing installed version on your machine to which they
belong. However, major releases are installed as separate instances on your PC.
For example, EcoStruxure Machine Expert V1.2.7 provides a full installation of the
software and related system components, but when installed on a PC where
EcoStruxure Machine Expert V1.2 or V1.2.x was already installed, it will update
this existing version by adding new components and replacing existing
components.
Contrast this to a PC that has EcoStruxure Machine Expert V1.1 installed as you
install, for example, EcoStruxure Machine Expert V1.2.7. In this case,
EcoStruxure Machine Expert V1.2.7 will be installed as a complete and separate
instance to EcoStruxure Machine Expert V1.1 (or any of its minor releases like, for

Scripting for Using Online Services
EcoStruxure Machine Expert provides access to many of its online services via
the scripting API. In order to establish a connection or to use an online service at a
later time, valid credentials must be stored in the system.

Providing Specific Credentials for Online Services

You can store credentials via online device or online application in case of multi-
controller projects. If there are specific credentials provided for the connection,
they will be used by the system.
Example:
# create an "online device" to use online services
root_device = projects.primary.find("LMC_PacDrive", False)
[0]
online_device = online.create_online_device(root_device)

# store credentials specific to this "online device"

online.set_specific_credentials(online_device, "my_user",
"my_password")

# use of any online service

online_device.connect()

Providing Default Credentials for Online Services

If no specific credentials are provided for the connection, the system uses the
default credentials.

16 RN0000000001.11
Cybersecurity Information for User Rights Management V1.2.7 Release Notes

Example:
# create an "online device" to use online services
root_device = projects.primary.find("LMC_PacDrive", False)
[0]
online_device = online.create_online_device(root_device)

# store default credentials

online.set_default_credentials("my_user", "my_password")

Scripting for Enforced Password Renewal

The following scenarios require the password to be changed by the user after
authentication:
• First login to a new controller.
• First connection after the user rights management has been reset to default.
• A password renewal is enforced for a specific user by an administrator of the
device.
EcoStruxure Machine Expert does not support the renewal of passwords using the
scripting API. Perform this by using the service tool Controller Assistant.
You can call the latest version of Controller Assistant from command line as
indicated in the following example:
"c:\Program Files (x86)\Schneider Electric
\EcoStruxureMachine Expert\Tools\ControllerAssistant
\ControllerAssistant.exe" -username Administrator -password
Administrator -renewalpassword MyNewPassword
-getcontrollerinfo etcp4://192.168.3.50

Safety-Related Products
Additional information on the Safety Option Module VW3E702200000 for Lexium
62 ILM:
Lexium ILM070, ILM100 and ILM140 motors must have a certain hardware
revision of the electronic unit and a new FPGA (field-programmable gate array) to
be compatible with the Safety Option Module for Lexium 62 ILM.
The new revision is included in Lexium ILM motors with the following S/N and
DOM:
• ILM070: S/N ≥ 2506064503 (DOM ≥ 11.09.2015)
• ILM100: S/N ≥ 2506058831 (DOM ≥ 18.08.2015)
• ILM140: S/N ≥ 2506059644 (DOM ≥ 21.08.2015)
• New FPGA version: CB0013_D010_0109_00_04
When using earlier versions of the Lexium ILM, the Safety Option Module is not
recognized, and the drive does not start.
For PacDrive architectures the AS-i/Sercos III Safety Gateway BWU2984 is
integrated.For more information, refer to the AS-i/Sercos III Safety Gateway
BWU2984 for Embedded Safety System - Bihl+Wiedemann Integration Guide.

Performance and System Limitations of New TM5CSLC•00FS

Firmware Version
The new TM5CSLC•00FS firmware version delivered with EcoStruxure Machine
Expert V1.1 has some performance improvements in relation to previous
TM5CSLC•00FS firmware versions.
The total number of safety axis and safety I/Os in a system depends on several
factors such as, for example, Sercos cycle time, activated/simulated devices,
configured devices in the architecture, and local device configurations using
additional IDNs, local I/Os on drives, etc. When the system limit is reached, a C1D
C30F 0109 hex is triggered.
The supported axis in a system running on the edge of device limitations can vary
between boot up by ± 1. Therefore, it is a good practice to stay two axis away from
the detected system limit.
For more information on performance refer to System Limitations (see Embedded
Safety for M262, Integration Guide).
Contact your local Schneider Electric representative in case you need specific
information for your intended machine architecture.

New Features EcoStruxure Machine Expert

Project Update
• Project update categories are separated in single pages.
• Overview page summarizes the update actions: sufficient in most cases.
• Details for update of different parts of the system in separate tabs.
• Update of visualization styles added.
• Detailed information on library update enhanced by presenting the updated
list of libraries.
• Display of progress status added.
NOTE: When you update a SoMachine project which contains solution
libraries (Pumping, Packaging, Hoisting) to EcoStruxure Machine Expert, the
solution libraries will not be updated. You have to replace the Pumping library
manually by the Booster Pumping library. Hoisting and Packaging libraries are
not supported by EcoStruxure Machine Expert V1.1.

Functional View
• A view has been introduced to group the project objects by logical machine
units.
• These groups can be saved and re-used in other projects.

Smart Template
The Smart Template has been conceptually redesigned to open the framework
beyond Robotics functionality.
The benefits of the revised version of Smart Template are:
• You can start to program with a default project and can add smart template
functionality afterwards. Robotics projects can now be under SVN control and
support folder structures.
• Can be used for more than one controller in a project. Smart Template
functions or modules can be added to several controllers in a project.
• Supported SVN-functionality. Smart Template modules are handled in SVN
(commit, update…) like any other POU in the system. Sub-elements
(configuration, methods, …) are considered appropriately.

RN0000000001.11 37
Release Notes Release Notes History

• Smart Template is open for new IEC-frameworks. The modules are self-
describing and no longer limited to a specific infrastructure like PacDrive
Template. Basically any IEC-environment can be used from zero to
maximum.
Supported Features:
• Modules view
Smart Template module instances can be added in an own view called
Modules.
• Add module / Add object
Modules can be added using the Add module dialog providing more
information and flexibility in terms of versioning, etc. Currently the following
modules and objects are usable:
◦ Camera module
◦ Camera configuration
◦ Module interface
◦ Method
◦ Action
◦ Transition
◦ Notes
• Module manager
◦ Key element to manage several modules, their version and their
referenced libraries.
◦ Modules can be updated as easy as libraries.
◦ The user code, the user configuration and the resolved library version are
used to generate the code for smart template
• Camera Module
◦ Supports the known functionality to connect vision systems - generic
cameras and specific for Cognex cameras.
◦ Online views allow to see the camera status, the position of products
identified.
Migration Strategy of Smart Template
As the old Robotics for SmartTemplate-Framework is not supported any longer,
the code and configuration has to be transferred to a new Standard project.
1. Create a new empty project in EcoStruxure Machine Expert.
2. Copy and paste the source code.
3. Add the modules to the new project via Add module and adapt the
configuration according to the old project.

Code Analysis
Code Analysis add-on was improved and stabilized.
• New metrics (cyclomatic complexity)
• Compile messages as part of the convention results output.
• Analysis of libraries (POU-space analysis) is supported now.
• User interface and scripting API for machine advisor code analysis
connection to upload snapshots and queries

ETEST
ETEST improves the usability and the handling of integration in Continuous
Integration systems, especially when working with big and/or long running test
projects.
• Optional test case methods

Electric software products, such as SoMachine and SoMachine Motion.
For general information on compatibility of EcoStruxure Machine Expert, refer to
the Compatibility and Migration Guide (see EcoStruxure Machine Expert
Compatibility and Migration, User Guide).

Behavior Modifications in EcoStruxure Machine Expert

compared to SoMachine / SoMachine Motion Versions
NOTE: For a list of compiler versions included in EcoStruxure Machine
Expert, SoMachine and SoMachine Motion versions indicated in the following
table, refer to the Compatibility and Migration Guide appendices (see
EcoStruxure Machine Expert Compatibility and Migration, User Guide).

ID Description

OEM00071037 Firewall:The file name Firewall is case sensitive.

Only a default firewall file, named FirewallDefault.cmd, is recognized.

OEM00071000 I/O Mapping: Modified behavior of Default Value.

/ SI-5249
If the compiler version is EcoStruxure Machine Expert V1.1or later: You can edit
this field only, when mapping an input/output to a new created variable. When
mapping to an existing variable, the initialization value of the variable is used as
the default value.

Selecting a compiler version earlier than EcoStruxure Machine Expert V1.1 , the
default values can also be edited and are applied in case of mapping to an
existing variable or to no variable.

When importing projects from SoMachine / SoMachine Motion, default values

are still imported for the cases above, but are not visible and not applied, as long
as the compiler version is ≥ EcoStruxure Machine Expert V1.1.

See also OEM00072811.

OEM00071094 Trace: Multi-selection of variables in the Trace Record part of the Trace
/ CDSYS-72 Configuration dialog is not supported.

OEM00071748 Tabular Declaration: The number of variables in online mode is limited to 1000.

OEM00072474 SVN: After checking out a project from SVN and closing the project, an entry is
/ CDSYS-100 created in the Recent files menu, even though the corresponding file has not
been saved. Selecting this entry will fail to open the project with an error
message.

OEM00072745 Compiler: Bool is not supported as a base type in enumerations and causes a
compiler error message. Only Integer data types are supported.

OEM00072811 / I/O Mapping: Reset Mapping does not delete default values.
CDSYS-105
Reset Mapping deletes the variables in the I/O Mapping. If a Default variable
was associated with such a deleted variable, this is no longer shown and
applied. However, creating a new variable for the same I/O will bring back the old
Default value. Note, that you can only modify the Default value, when you have
created a new variable first.

See also OEM00071000.

OEM00073255 Find: The Find command is associated to the shortcut Ctrl+F. The shortcut only
/ CDSYS-119 works, when an editor window is open.

OEM00073314 FBD: If the FBD option Connect boxes with straight lines is selected,
/ CDSYS-120 connection lines (links) between function blocks may overlap.

OEM00074574 Auto-Declare: Using a statement like GVL.toto := bool_1;, where bool_1

/ CDSYS-141 is declared as BOOL and GVL is the name of a GVL, causes an autodeclaration
proposal of INT for toto instead of BOOL.

OEM00074609 Reset Cold/ Reset Warm: Breakpoints that were activated before executing the

PERSISTANT and RETAIN followed by VAR_GLOBAL as scope.

OEM00074787 SysTimeRtc: The actual behavior of functions

SysTimeRtcConvertHighResToLocal, SysTimeRtcConvertLocalToHighRes,
SysTimeRtcConvertUtcToLocal and SysTimeRtcConvertLocalToUtc is compliant
to the defined TimezoneInformation (struct) definition of member <iBias> (which
itself is based on Windows Definition), where UTC = localtime + bias. Therefore,
the bias for eastern longitude is negative and the bias for western longitude is
positive.

OEM00076496 Project Compare: New menu command ""Project - Commit t accepted

changes.

The command is also availableas toolbar button and allows to commit already
accepted differences from the project comparison to the current project. Thus,
you are no longer limited to committing differences accepted in one compare
view only. Instead you can determine the time and extent of the Commit.

OEM00076869 Project Export/Import: After exporting modules, when importing the modules
/ CDSYS-197 are reordered alphabetically by module name.

OEM00071445 ProfiNetIO-Controller (Master): New parameters on the General tab: I/O

/ CDSYS-76 provider/ consumer status.

Parameter Application stop > Substitute values : When the user stops the
application, the provider state is set to BAD. The slaves then set the inputs and
outputs to predefined substitute values. For more details refer to the Online
Help.

OEM00074786 SFC - Init step: For the compiler version of EcoStruxure Machine Expert V1.1 or
later the Init step counts from the program start moment (not from the system
start moment. Additionally, triggering SFCInit or SFCReset flag resets the
Init step time to zero.

SP12CDS- Compiler, I/O Mapping: Task deployment for function blocks used in initial
57549 values.

For the compiler version of EcoStruxure Machine Expert V1.1 or later: only these
tasks will be used as update task for function block instances with I/Os, in which
an access to the I/Os can be detected, or in which the instance is called directly.

This behavior may lead to a smaller number of output updates. For example, if a
function block instance is declared in a program, but there is no direct call of this
instance, there will be no update in the task in which the program is called.

Direct call means, that calls via interface are not considered.

You can manually edit the tasks in which to update I/Os in the I/O configuration.

SP12CDS- Compiler: A Bit-located Bool variable assigned to a REFERENCE TO BOOL

56915 variable generates a compiler error.

For the compiler version of EcoStruxure Machine Expert V1.1 or later, a compiler
error is generated when assigning a BOOL variable located on a bit address to a
REFERENCE TO BOOL variable.

Workaround: assign the bit located variable to a Boolean variable first and
assign the latter to the REFERENCE variable.

SP12CDS- Compiler: Unexpected online change related to the usage of the

59141 PersistantVars object with attributes.

For the compiler version of EcoStruxure Machine Expert V1.1 or later, the order
of attributes in a PersistantVars list object is always fix (sorted lexically).

Opening projects without update, that contain a compiler version earlier than
EcoStruxure Machine Expert V1.1 and attempting to login may request an online
change in the above-mentioned case.

ID Description

Project Archive: Sending a project archive via mail directly from the Save
Archive dialog is not supported in EcoStruxure Machine Expert V1.1 (64-bit)
due to MAPI limitations.
SP11CDS- Trace: flexible assignment of variables to diagrams.
35119
EcoStruxure Machine Expertsupports configuring one or more diagrams within
the trace and displaying one or more variables, allowing a flexible arrangement
of these variables within the diagrams. All diagrams share the same time axis,
but the appearance including the Y-axis can be configured separately for each
diagram.

Download and Upload diagram configurations to the PLC and Save and
load diagram configurations in the trace.csv format are not supported.

When opening projects containing Single-/Multichannel traces, they will be

displayed in an equivalent way.

The former menu command Multichannel (changing the view only) was
replaced by two new commands Convert to Single/Multi Channel, which
modify the configuration accordingly.

SP11CDS- Compiler: Compiler Error message for libraries with invalid namespace.
52137
For the compiler version of EcoStruxure Machine Expert V1.1 or later, a compiler
error will be generated for library namespaces that are not valid identifiers
according to IEC 61131-3.

SP11CDS- Runtime: Default values: STOP to STOP over Reset behaves differently than
47465 RUN to STOP over Reset.

Default values for direct addressed outputs are set, if application is in stop, and a
reset is executed. Previously, the direct adressed outputs were not reset in this
scenario.
SP10P10CDS- ScriptEngine: IronPython behavior regarding reading files.
50882
Within IronPython, Byte Order Marks (BOM) at the start of files are not implicitly
skipped any more, which may lead to a different behavior of scripts parsing files,
for example using the ConfigParser module. Open these files using codecs.open
().

SP10CDS- Compiler: Initialization (order) of DUT structures

43667
For the compiler version of SoMachine Motion V4.4 or later, the initialization
order of arrays of Data Unit Types..

Example:
arr : ARRAY
[0..1] OF DUT := [(a := 1), (a := 2)];" ) is: FOR i := 0 TO
1 DO arr[i].FB_Init; END_FOR arr[0].a := 1; arr[1].a :=
2;

Where the order for compiler version < V4.4 Motion was:
arr[0].FB_Init(); arr[0].a := 1; arr[1].FB_Init(); arr[1].a
:= 2;

Additionally, if a DUT variable is initialized by assigning another variable, as in:

xx : DUT := yy;

with compiler version SoMachine Motion V4.4 or later, there will also be a FB_
Init call in this case.
SP10CDS- Compiler: C0405 multiple assignments to interfaces variables not allowed.
47295
For compiler versions of SoMachine Motion V4.4 or later, a compiler error is
generated for constructs like:
itfVar1 := itfVar2 := 0;

SP10CDS- Symbol Configuration: Properties with monitoring type variable.

49943
For the compiler version of SoMachine Motion V4.4 or later, properties with
monitoring type variable are exported read-only in the Symbol Configuration.

SP10CDS- Project User Management: Settings: New hash format for passwords.
49852
Hashes for user passwords can now be stored with a new format, which
supports salt and a new hash algorithm, improving the security of a password
against guessing and brute-force. The password hash of a user is converted with
the first login after the setting was changed.

The project loses its backward compatibility with the conversion to the new
password hashes. You can convert the new password hashes back by disabling
the setting and re-login of every user, which logged in during the time the setting

49093
In projects using Webvisualization it might not be possible to login without an
Online Change, if the project contains an Imagepool object, referencing the
same image more than once.

SP10CDS- Gateway, RTS: NodeName limitation to 50 characters:

25116
The NodeName of controllers (as displayed in the Communication Settings
dialog) is now limited to 50 wide-char characters (including NULL termination).

If a controller with a longer node name is updated to a SoMachine Motion V4.4

version or later , the node name is cut to this limit. Clients like PLCHandler or
OPC Server cannot conntect when using the old, longer NodeName. In this
case, you need to update the connection parameters of the affected clients and/
or rename your controller.

SP9CDS-47453 Online Change: Handle out of memory exception

/
OEM00061201 For compiler versions of SoMachine Motion V4.4 or later, in the case of memory
outage during online change, a compiler error C0398 will be generated.

SP9CDS-46022 Compiler: AT declaration in VAR_TEMP, VAR_IN_OUT and VAR CONSTANT.

For compiler versions of SoMachine Motion V4.4 or later, a compiler error C0392
is generated if an AT declaration is used inside one of the following blocks: VAR_
TEMP, VAR_IN_OUT and VAR CONSTANT.

SP9CDS-45977 Compiler: Assignment of function block outputs to interfaces.

For compiler versions of SoMachine Motion V4.4 or later, the assignment is not
supported, a type mismatch error is reported for the following case:
fbUser(fbOut => iMain);

SP9CDS-43812 Compiler: __ISVALIDREF returns TRUE for check of interface instance with
value zero.

__ISVALIDREF is a special operator that can now only be used for checking
references.

A compiler error gets generated in case __ISVALIDREF is used with any other
type than REFERENCE types.

Interfaces and pointers can be checked via interf <> 0 , pointer <> 0 .

SP9CDS-44576 Compiler / Online Change: AT declarations

If an address is moved from one variable to another variable, an online change

will not be possible; a compiler error will be generated.

Example:
var1 : BYTE; -> var1 AT %MB0 : BYTE;
var2 AT %MB0 : BYTE; var2 : BYTE;

SP9CDS-45776 Compiler: Array with length 0.

For compiler versions of SoMachine Motion V4.4 or later, a compiler error will be
generated for arrays like:

arr[0..unsigned_const-1], if the unsigned_const is 0.

The upper limit is evaluated as an unsigned operation and would result in a too
large number for any signed array limit.

Use a signed constant instead, or cast the constant to a signed type:

arr[0..TO_INT(unsigned_const)-1]

SP9CDS-45575 Compiler: PRIVATE, PROTECTED not allowed for FB_Init, FB_Exit, FB_
ReInit.

For compiler versions of SoMachine Motion V4.4, a compiler error will be

generated, if an FB_Init, FB_Exit or FB_ReInit method is declared as
PRIVATE or PROTECTED.

For compiler versions of SoMachine Motion V4.4, a compiler error will be

generated, when writing to variables located at %I* addresses

SP9CDS-383 Compiler: FB_Exit is called to destroy local instances.

For compiler versions of SoMachine Motion V4.4, FB_EXIT is now called for
instances allocated on the stack before the owning scope returns. A warning
informs you about the changed semantics in these cases. In order to suppress
the warning, decorate the POU declaring the local instance with the warning
disable macro for warning code C0394 ({warning disable C0394}).

NOTE: If you are extracting a project archive in EcoStruxure Machine Expert

that has been created with SoMachine or SoMachine Motion, and Options
are selected in the Extract Project Archive dialog box, your EcoStruxure
Machine Expert installation may be altered and it may appear the devices are
missing.

CAUTION
INOPERABLE EQUIPMENT
When you extract a project archive that has been created with a different
programming software, deselect the Options check box in the Extract Project
Archive dialog box.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury or equipment
damage.

To restore your EcoStruxure Machine Expert installation, execute the Tools >
Options command and select the Directories (Devices, Libraries,...) option.
From the Directories (Devices, Libraries,...) dialog box, click the Reset
repository locations button and the devices are restored.
NOTE:
• If a SoMachine or SoMachine Motion project with HMIs is loaded, it may
occur that Vijeo-Designer must be started by the update. In this case, it
may occur that Vijeo-Designer is only started in the background.
Vijeo-Designer must be opened manually to continue the update.
• If a SoMachine or SoMachine Motion project with obsolete HMIs is
loaded, it may occur that Vijeo-Designer is started and you are prompted
to enter a reference number.
If the reference number is not available, click No and the device is
updated automatically to a preprogrammed type.
• If a SoMachine or SoMachine Motion project with obsolete HMIs (with
control) is loaded, the HMI is converted in Vijeo-Designer to a supported
HMI.

Compatibility EcoStruxure Machine Expert - Safety

Overview
Former SoSafe Programmable versions cannot be started from EcoStruxure
Machine Expert environment anymore and can only be installed and used if the
related SoMachine Motion version is installed.
However, the former SoSafe Programmable projects - starting from V2.1 - can be
imported, re-used, and updated in EcoStruxure Machine Expert - Safety V1.1.
In almost all cases, the update works without impact on the overall safety
application and the resulting project CRC (cyclic redundant checksum) value stays
the same and there is no recertification needed.

44 RN0000000001.11
Release Notes History Release Notes

However, EcoStruxure Machine Expert - Safety with this release does not support
reusing a project built on EcoStruxure Machine Expert - Safety with LMCx01
system to EcoStruxure Machine Expert - Safety with M262 system or vice-versa.

Identified Incompatible Project Updates

The CRC of the safety project done before SoSafe Programmable V2.21 is
changed if the old project contains the following safety devices:
• TM5SAI4AFS
• TM5STI4ATCFS
In this case, the safety project must be compiled again and downloaded to the
TM5CSLCx00FS and the related safety function must be validated and recertified.
It is still possible to install former SoSafe Programmable versions in parallel to
EcoStruxure Machine Expert - Safety as long the compatible SoMachine Motion
package is available on the PC. Thus, you can maintain old projects using
previous compatible engineering tool chains.
Overview of the validated safety-related software with the appropriate safety-
related firmware.

Known Operational Anomalies

Limitations for the Release of TM262M••

• Disabling of Safety slices is not supported.
• There are restrictions on the simulation feature of devices in some use cases
for machine options.
• The Safety Logic Controller will switch to SafeOS state SAFERUN in case
Sercos state NRT is active. This is normal behavior and is used to debug the
Safety Logic Controller application in case no TM262M is connected.
• Validation of file name is not performed when a new application file is saved in
the local directory: If a file with the same name is in a folder and the user
confirms to save in dialog, then the existing file is overwritten without further
notification to the user.

Limitations for the Release of TM262••

The minimum required firmware version is 5.0.2.1. If the product has an earlier
firmware version, firmware update is mandatory. Update can be executed via SD-
card or the Controller Assistant.

Limitations for the Release of PacDrive Controllers

Validation of file name is not performed when a new application file is saved in the
local directory. If a file with the same name is in a folder and the user confirms to
save in the dialog, then the existing file is overwritten without further notification to
the user.

Immediate Addressing
EcoStruxure Machine Expert allows you to program instructions using either a
direct or indirect method of parameter usage. The direct method is called
Immediate Addressing where you use direct address of a parameter, such as %
IWx or %QWx for example. The indirect method is called Symbolic Addressing
where you first define symbols for these same parameters, and then use the
symbols in association with your program instructions.
Both methods are valid and acceptable, but Symbolic Addressing offers distinct
advantages, especially if you later make modifications to your configuration. When
you configure I/O and other devices for your application, EcoStruxure Machine
Expert automatically allocates and assigns the immediate addresses. Afterward, if
you add or delete I/O or other devices from your configuration, EcoStruxure
Machine Expert will account for any changes to the configuration by reallocating
and reassigning the immediate addresses. This necessarily will change the
assignments from what they had once been from the point of the change(s) in the
configuration.
If you have already created all or part of your program using immediate
addresses, you will need to account for this change in any program instructions,
function blocks, etc., by modifying all the immediate addresses that have been
reassigned. However, if you use symbols in place of immediate addresses in your

54 RN0000000001.11
Release Notes History Release Notes

program, this action is unnecessary. Symbols are automatically updated with their
new immediate address associations provided that they are attached to the
address in the I/O Mapping dialog of the corresponding Device Editor, and not
simply an ‘AT’ declaration in the program itself.

WARNING
UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
Inspect and modify as necessary any immediate I/O addresses used in the
application after modifying the configuration.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or
equipment damage.

NOTE: Systematically use symbols while programming to help avoid

extensive program modifications and limit the possibility of programming
anomalies once a program configuration has been modified by adding or
deleting I/O or other devices.

EcoStruxure Machine Expert - Safety

ID Description

OEM00060343 In the SafeLogger you can read that the status of an input/output of a safety-
/ SSP50-6783 related module has changed. Detailed information on the reason can be decoded
out of the additional info0 and info1 information. (Refer to the SafeLogger User
Guide).

OEM00060774 The communication state between the Safe Logic Controller TM5CSLCx00FS
and a drive is not indicated by a message in the SafeLogger: Under certain
conditions, a drive is treated as a non-working drive but this is not recognized by
the SafeLogger or by the drive.

You have to restart the Safe Logic Controller TM5CSLCx00FS to recover.

OEM00068735 If you set the MaxDataTransportTime and CommunicationWatchdog parameters

/ SSP50-6800 to significantly greater values than proposed by the calculator (for example, 6500
ms), this can result in an unstable system because these parameters influence
the timeouts and restart timing of the safety-related system. In this case, the
ModuleOK status for some safety-related modules is not reached or is unstable.

Use the values calculated by the Response Time Calculator.

Do not increase the parameters by more than factor two.

OEM00068980 If you set the value for MinDataTransportTime to a value less than the value
/ SSP50-6805 calculated by the Response Time Calculator, a build error message may be
displayed. The MinDataTransportTime must be set to the calculated value.

OEM00069079 System limitation on number of drives with 1 ms Sercos time setting: With
TM5CSLCx00FS firmware version 2.47 and earlier, up to 22 safety-related drives
can be handled with 1 ms Sercos time setting.

The maximum number of slaves depends on different factors:

• The number of physical connected devices.
• The configured additional real-time parameters.
• The data exchanged between LMC and TM5CSLCx00FS.
• The number of additional safety-related devices (I/O modules, safety-
related gateways... ).
Workaround: When the error message C1D 0x010A is displayed, the system limit
is reached. In this case, the system must be optimized on the influencing factors.

Another possibility to increase the number of supported safety-related drives is to

split the machine into several modules, with each one having a TM5CSLCx00FS
and an LMC inside.
OEM00069082 TM5CSLCx00FS displays the internal error message BF86: This occurs when
/ SSP50-6808 SafeModuleOK parameter is not used in all safety-related modules in the system.

Workaround: Use the SafeModuleOK parameter in all safety-related modules.

OEM00070294 The channel of a safety-related module goes to FALSE if an unsuitable cycle time
/ SSP50-6812 value is configured: The CycleTime value must be greater than the processing
time for the safety-related application. If the CycleTime parameter value is less
than or too close to the processing time, a cycle time violation may occur.

RN0000000001.11 55
Release Notes Release Notes History

ID Description

The cycle time configured for TM5CSLCx00FS must be an integer multiple of the
Sercos cycle time.

You must configure an appropriate TM5CSLCx00FS cycle time:

• Set a greater cycle time value for the TM5CSLCx00FS.
• Download and run the safety-related application.
• Open the SafePLC control dialog and click the info button: The present
processing time is displayed.
• Set the TM5CSLCx00FS cycle time to a value ≥ processing time + 1 ms.

OEM00070390 No information could be found for the SafeLogger entry 0x9406.

This entry indicates a cross communication issue in the network processing

engine.

OEM00070466 When the MaxDataTransportTime value is set to a value that is too small, the
/ SSP50-4192 TM5CSLCx00FS does not change its status to RUN.

Workaround: Use the value from the Response Time Calculator. If this value
does not work, increase the MaxDataTransportTime/CommunicationWatchdog in
small steps up to a maximum of two times the calculated value.

OEM00070475 TM5CSLCx00FS does not change its status to RUN and stays in PreOp mode.
Possible reasons:
• For one or more drives, the safety-related parameters are not valid.
• OutputActiveSet value is missing.
• AutoRun is not activated.
• Safety response time relevant parameters are not set to appropriate values.

OEM00070493 Sporadically, safety-related modules do not go to operational state: After the

/ SSP50-6817 restart of an LMC (Logic Motion Controller), the TM5CSLCx00FS goes to
operational state but the safety-related modules stay in pre-operational state.

Workaround: Restart the entire system.

OEM00071897 In the SafeLogger, some issues are displayed as non-safety-related messages,

/ SSP50-6831 whereas they should be safety-related messages.

Known issues:
• 0x9414 Cross communication error
• 0x960B Internal error cross communication
• 0xD126 Execution differences processes
• 0x8609 Supply voltage error
Use the latest firmware versions for the safety-related components in your
system.

OEM00077282 In one special tested system configuration, running with 1 ms Sercos cycle time
/ SSP50-6867 the state of SafeModulOK parameter of one safety-related module changes from
TRUE to FALSE. This does not occur with 2 ms and 4 ms as Sercos cycle time in
the same configuration.

Workaround: Use 2 ms or 4 ms as Sercos cycle time if applicable for your

application or slightly adjust the safety-related timing parameters (for example
maxDataTransportTime).

OEM00052480 Support of special characters (German umlauts) in variable names in ST: An

error is detected if a special character is entered as part of the naming of a
variable in EcoStruxure Machine Expert - Safety. It is not possible to ignore or
cancel this exception. The program must be terminated by the windows task
manager. After restarting EcoStruxure Machine Expert - Safety, the special
character can be deleted.

Workaround: Do not use special characters in variable names.

OEM00073379 TM5CSLCx00FS stays in boot state after MXCHG confirmation for drives:
/ SSP50-6844 TM5CSLCx00FS indicates MXCHG after the drive has been replaced. To confirm
drive replacement, MXCHG ask for confirmation twice. After the second MXCHG
confirmation, TM5CSLCx00FS reboot its-self and stays in bootphase (FIL leds
light) until it is physically restarted.

Workaround: Switch off and on the control voltage.

OEM00070117 Number of possible safety-related axes varies between ring and line topology.
/ SSP50-6811
OEM00077251 TM5 modules switch SafeChannelOK state to FALSE during Sercos ring break.

ID Description

OEM00074655 M241/M251: The Online > Multiple Download command is not performed
/ PLAT-524 correctly for Modicon M241 / M251 Logic Controllers: When an application with
two controllers has been modified and the Multiple Download command is
executed, the application is not downloaded to one of the controllers.

Workaround: Execute the Build > Clean All command before executing the
Online > Multiple Download command.

OEM00074733 The default values of cartridge outputs are not applied in the same way during
/ PLAT-525 RUN->STOP and RUN->RESET WARM transitions.
OEM00077573 An error message is displayed for the TM4PDPS1 library (Profibus) after opening
/ PLAT-556 a project archive generated with SoMachine V4.3. Workaround: Set the correct
version (legacy vesrion) manually in the Library Manager.

OEM00072286 Default values remain enabled during RUN->STOP transition even if removed
/ PLAT-490 from the application.

OEM00077925 During migration of an application from SoMachine V4.3 (with user rights
/ PLAT-563 enabled) to EcoStruxure Machine Expert, the user rights are not automatically
converted before being downloaded to controller. You cannot log in into the
controller.

Workaround: Use a script stored on the SD card executing the command delete
/usr/* or performing a firmware update from the SD card.

M262
ID Description

OEM00077150 TcpUdpCommunication library: At first startup after firmware update, the

/ IECLIB-2031 certificate store is not ready. An application that includes TLS communication
needs a second startup.

OEM00071051 Tasks of type Freewheeling must have a minimum cycle time of 3 ms.

OEM00073787 WebVisualization with trace objects significantly increases the processor load.

OEM00074101 The Sercos master does not provide network configuration parameters for
Sercos slaves (IP address, subnet mask, gateway).

OEM00074841 SSL connection is noticeably slow if client has chosen a cipher suite that uses
DHE/ECDHE key exchange.

OEM00075485 Adding a TM5NS31 and I/O modules to a Sercos network impacts the M262
cycle task.

OEM00075670 WebVisualization: SelfAwareness variables cannot be used directly inside a

WebVisualization.
OEM00076315 The diagnostic structures of PLCSystem/PLCSystemBase library (for example
PLC_R) cannot be accessed directly from external monitoring devices through
the Symbol Configuration. They first must be copied to local variables.

OEM00076939 All nodes in a ring topology need to support RSTP (rapid spanning tree protocol).

OEM00076940 EtherNet/IP Scanner: A “stateful” firewall keeps in its memory the connections
flow. If such a firewall is defined, the EtherNet/IP traffic from slaves sending their
assemblies in multicast may be blocked. So this firewall mode must not be used
in this case.
OEM00077157 OTB devices may not respect the scanner RPI (Requested Packet Interval) when
TM3 analog modules are configured.

OEM00077199 After transferring an application using an SD card, a TM3XHSC module may

restart with an error message. A power cycle restores the correct operation.

OEM00077280 Using the PLCO.MC_TouchProbe with an invalid argument for ifTrigger is not
managed as expected.

OEM00077663 If a firmware update using an SD card completes with a steady yellow SD card
LED, repeat the firmware update operation.

OEM00077713 When you are modifying the user rights, ensure that no external equipment are
trying to access M262 variables with former credentials.

OEM00076745 If EcoStruxure Machine Expert is running in a Virtual Machine (VMware), M262-

USB may conflict with the VMware:
• USB communication is inoperable.
• The controller is not discovered in: My Controller/Communication setting.
Install EcoStruxure Machine Expert directly on the PC or use Ethernet for PC
connection to the controller.
OEM00077894 If SoMachine V4.3 or an earlier version was installed on the computer, the IP
address used by the PC is not correct. Thus, the USB communication is not
operational.

Workaround: You have to select the network interface SE RNDIS PSX M262
connection under Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network and Sharing
Center and set the IP address manually to 192.168.200.2.

OEM00077911 An M262 is not discovered by USB and cannot be connected to EcoStruxure

Machine Expert.

Workaround: You have to restart the USB by the gateway. Select the gateway
tray application and restart the gateway.

OEM00077737 When unplugging and plugging an M262 cable (Eth2-RJ45), there was Modbus
IO-scanner application loss on the ATV340.

ID Description

MK-823 When working with 16 LXM32S and 23 TM5 BC and 1 SLC with multiple MC_
CamIn running on all LXM32S, and when using a MAST task at 5 ms, the
controller reports an overload of the task.

Workaround: When working with big configurations, ensure that you use a
proper cycle time for your controller task by verifying the load of your task during
commissioning. Also, configure a Watchdog on your task to ensure that there is
no overload during run time.

MK-835 MC_TouchProbe reports no error when the drive is disconnected.

When you execute an MC_TouchProbe on an LXM32S and you disconnect the

drive, the function block does not report an error. The output Busy stays active.

Workaround: Make sure to cancel the running MC_TouchProbe using MC_

AbortTrigger.

MK-847 Starting MC_CamIn with non-connected SSI-encoder as master results in the

ErrorID : Unexpected Feedback.

Workaround: If starting an MC_CamIn with an SSI-encoder as master, and this

SSI-encoder is not connected to the M262, the ErrorId reported is
Unexpected Feedback when it should be MasterDataInvalid.

Release Notes Release Notes History

An additional gateway is not required. Configuration is performed in EcoStruxure

Machine Expert. Place the Ethernet device after the last Sercos device. The last
Sercos device is used as a gateway. It must provide two Sercos connectors.
Considerations:
• Connect the Ethernet devices after the last Sercos device.
• Connect a LXM32S or ATV340S as last device on the Sercos bus.
• Connect a maximum of six Ethernet devices.
• Ethernet communication is operational when the Sercos bus is in phase 4.
NOTE: It is a good practice to stop the Ethernet communication when the
Sercos bus is not in phase 4. To stop the EIP / TCP scanner, use the function
blocks in the IEC application.

M262 Modifying the Default IP Address of the USB Port

By default, the IP address of the USB port is 192.168.200.1. Customers
expressed the need to alter this address as it may conflict with their internal
addressing schemes for existing Ethernet industrial networks. You are now able to
change this address in the case that this IP address conflicts with the existing
network configuration by modifying the address through the post configuration
functions. Contact you local Schneider Electric service representative for more

Cybersecurity Information for Safety-Related Use Cases

User management activation on standard controllers (non-safety-related
controllers) sometimes needs/requests login credentials also for some safety-
related use cases.
With the new M262 default setting for IP forwarding (disabled) and the new LMC
default setting for firewall management, a connection to the SLC (Safety Logic
Controller) can no longer be established without dedicated user interactivity.
To establish a connection to an SLC during a commissioning phase by using the
EcoStruxure Machine Expert - Safety programming tool, for example, for
application download, the IP forwarding/firewall have to be configured accordingly
on the related standard controller. Refer to the PacDrive LMC Eco, PacDrive LMC
Pro/Pro2, M262 Programming Guides for further information.
In general, it is a good practice to disable IP forwarding / enable firewall on
standard controllers for the machine operation phase.
The SLCremotelibrary functions for SLC control are not impacted by the enhanced
cybersecurity mechanisms.

Former SoSafe Programmable versions cannot be started from EcoStruxure
Machine Expert environment anymore and can only be installed and used if the
related SoMachine Motion version is installed.

RN0000000001.11 83
Release Notes Release Notes History

However, the former SoSafe Programmable projects - starting from V2.1 - can be
imported, re-used, and updated in EcoStruxure Machine Expert - Safety V1.2.
In almost all cases, the update works without impact on the overall safety
application and the resulting project CRC (cyclic redundant checksum) value stays
the same and there is no recertification needed.
However, EcoStruxure Machine Expert - Safety does not support reusing a project
built on EcoStruxure Machine Expert - Safety with LMCx system to EcoStruxure
Machine Expert - Safety with M262 system or vice-versa.

Identified Incompatible Project Updates

The CRC of the safety project done before SoSafe Programmable V2.21 is
changed if the old project contains the following safety devices:
• TM5SAI4AFS
• TM5STI4ATCFS
In this case, the safety project must be compiled again and downloaded to the
TM5CSLCx00FS and the related safety function must be validated and recertified.
It is still possible to install former SoSafe Programmable versions in parallel to
EcoStruxure Machine Expert - Safety as long the compatible SoMachine Motion
package is available on the PC. Thus, you can maintain old projects using
previous compatible engineering tool chains.

M262 - Motion
• Cam slave start mode Absolute
◦ Mode Absolute is now available, which can be chosen as an alternative to
the already existing slave start modes Relative and RampIn when starting
a cam.
◦ Mode Absolute starts the new cam directly at the position, velocity and
acceleration according to the new cam profile (like Relative/unlike
RampIn) and without performing any ramp-in movement (unlike RampIn).
◦ Mode Absolute cannot be started on a slave axis configured to modulo.
This will result in the error output of MC_CamIn function block being set.
• Interpolated cam (straight/poly5)
◦ As an alternative to using segment-defined cam profiles, a cam profile can
now also be interpolated between a list of points.
◦ Up to 10,000 points are supported. In the case of straight interpolation,
these points are Y coordinates, which are equidistant on the X axis.
Interpolation between two points is straight (same as straight cam
segment law).
◦ Alternatively, a 5th degree polynomial interpolation can be used between

curvature in addition to the corresponding slave position.
• Real-time Task
◦ The real-time task is a task for the user application that synchronized with
the fieldbus and the internal motion calculation. This task will be scheduled
to be executed after motion calculation and data transfer from/to devices.
Please ensure that this task is executed immediately by setting its priority
to the highest priority (lowest number) in your application.
◦ The intended use case is to read inputs or axes positions as soon as they
are available, create branch logic based on them, trace, etc.
◦ Be aware that it is not intended for Motion function blocks.
◦ Be aware that digital outputs set in this task will only be sent to the device
after 2 cycles.

M262 - Motion

ID Description

MK-939 An unnecessary ramp-in movement no longer occurs, when an MC_CamIn

function block is executed with slave start mode RampIn but no ramp-in
movement is necessary because the axis already starts in the correct position
according to the cam profile definition.

MK-967 Discrete motion jobs no longer finish with the final axis position merely very
close to the commanded target position (e.g. 10-32 instesad of 0.0), but instead
with the axis exactly in the target position.

MK-975 Resolved an issue whereas Sercos on M262 Logic controller stops working and
the drive displays error B103, or that on a subsequent attempt M262 Logic
controller crashes, when executing any Motion Control FB in buffered mode
while it is already active.

MK-1005 An unnecessary ramp-in movement, leading to a jump in axis velocity, no

longer occurs when an MC_CamIn function block is executed with slave start
mode RampIn and buffer mode Aborting, with identically parameterized cam
profile as the previously running cam. Linked to MK-939.

MK-1017 A very high velocity and acceleration of the drive shortly before reaching the
target, caused by a sudden jump in axis position for one cycle, no longer occurs
after MC_MoveAbsolute function block with jerk has been used to abort itself
with a new target position further away.

MK-1021 Configuring the axis with a position resolution of 1.0 no longer leads to an
unexpected sudden jump from zero velocity to target velocity. Instead the axis
now accelerates with the defined ramp, as expected.

MK-1033 The value of an axis stMotionOfMaster.lrPosition is no longer set to

zero for one cycle when the active cam is changed (buffered or aborted) and
the new cam is started with slave start mode RampIn. Instead, this property
now shows the expected value.

ID Description

M262-5335 When in a distributed architecture, with TM3BCEIP, if the diagnostic for the
analog modules TM3AQ2 and TM3AQ4 is disabled, CPU exception occur,
after the download of the application.

Workaround: The diagnostic is activated by default - do not change the

diagnostic setting for these both modules: TM3AQ2 and TM3AQ4.

- Always use the value Yes for the variable StatusEnabled in the analog
modules, see screenshot below.

When it is set to No the values of the analog inputs will make a shift in the read
data buffer, causing wrong data value read in the software or controller.
