Let us know what you think. Please report any issues here on this Community page.

 

  • This Beta is available for trial, testing, and training purposes only--
  • Not for production use--
  • Please do not contact Technical Support for questions or to report issues.

 

This release contains hundreds of improvements; we've added a few new objects and consolidated many of the similar objects.

 

This release is FAST! The runtime is up to 250% faster to render complex screens.

 

We have also added some major new capabilities:

 

  • A New Log Manager which allows you to configure a log process independently from a trend line.
  • We've rewritten the Trend Line and added Dual Y-Axes, new controls, pinch to zoom and swipe to scroll.
  • Added Tag based range control to the sliders, analog meters, bar graphs and line charts.
  •  A new Find/Replace to help swap tags and labels on selected groups of objects.
  • Support for MELSEC FX5 PLCs and Omron NJ/NX Ethernet/IP.
  • We've built a new Graphics Studio with all SVG-based images which scale and enable tons of new capabilities.
  • An Object Search bar for the object list; no more scrolling through pages of controls to find that one special tool.
  •  A new color picker with eye dropper to select any color available in Windows
  •  Many improvements to the project Simulator
  • Supports conversion from V6.80 or V8.26 (Probably more, but that's why we're testing)

 

 --Limitations/Known Issues--

  •  We are still rewriting the help files - None of the help buttons work
  •  EA9 imports with large numbers of tags - some tags may not be imported
  •  Font differences between the software and the Panel have been fixed in the software.

    Is there a plan to put the PID bar graph back into the software? Was pretty bummed it was removed. I was able to rebuild it manually but it doesn't look as good.

    @13engines (Customer)​ Thank you for your question. The PID bar graph and trend graph are the two objects we have no plans to add to V9. The reasons are various and we can go into those if you'd like.

     

    Our hope is that users will make their own object by combining other objects and then use the Find and Replace feature to use what they have built over and over by saving it to Object Library.

     

    I am sure some folks will make some that are far better than what we have had since EA7. And maybe they will share them on the community.
