Applies to:

PcVue version 10.0 SP1 onwards.
Summary:

There was a change in the naming scheme used for the network status variable from PcVue 10.0 SP1 onwards.
Details:

The naming scheme for the <ServerConnectionName> and <ClientConnectionName> branches used in the network status variables has changed. The underscore character that seperated the <StationName> and <NodeNumber> has been removed.

Old scheme

<ServerConnection> = <StationName>_<NodeNumber>S
<ClientConnection> = <StationName>_<NodeNumber>C

New scheme

<ServerConnection> = <StationName><NodeNumber>S
<ClientConnection> = <StationName><NodeNumber>C

If you open a project created with an earlier version that has variables using these branches, the variables still work as expected. However, if you create any new stations in the network configuration, the new naming scheme will be used when the status variables are generated.
