Digital Assistance, Power System, Smart Building and Cybersecurity
This new version reinforces openness and digital assistance with new features such as new acquisition drivers and enhanced smart bot while providing solid run-time and configuration evolutions.
Smart bots openess for Digital assistance
Smart bot workflows can now interface with O365 calendars to manage tasks and find the most suitable team mate according to availability and occupation for task assignment. The Smart bot plug-in now also implements a Web API client allowing you to interface with Web Server endpoints as part of your workflows: Telegram, Line, REST API, CMMS API…
Data acquisition drivers
Supports the PIMA IPGuard Receiver software (intrusion detection).
Supports Satec PM130 devices, in particular the PM130P, PM130E and PM130EH series (power meters).
Support for method calls.
A new Helper is available at design time to test method calls, and the SCADA Basic instruction OPCUA has a new mode called METHOD able to perform methodcalls.
An extension to the driver enables mapping variables onto tabular OIDs of varying length, typically to manage dynamic lists of events or alarms.
Grid control – Support for extended attributes
Extended attributes can be displayed as columns in the Grid control when using the variable tracking mode. Depending on the configuration of the Grid control and user permissions, the value of Extended attributes can also be changed directly from the Grid. The same goes for the Simulated property of variables.
Central project management
Tags can now be associated to versions of your project and libraries, and you can start your project
based on a tag instead of a version identifier or state.
With version tagging, the application designer can skip the use of the built-in versionning state machine. And by controlling project startup based on tags, the designer drives the version loading and can apply a versionning policy even if the built-in state machine do not completely fit.
Application Explorer
The Mapping dialog for Equipment data acquisition drivers can now be used to map variables on frames’ sub-addresses, making it easier to map data structures onto a series of variables of diverse types using a single frame.
For example, you can now use the Mapping dialog to map Register and Bit variables onto the same Word or Double word frame. The drivers’ runtime already supported this feature, but it required changing the mapping configuration manually.The labels used to designate extended attributes can now be fully customized. Customized labels are then used everywhere extended attributes are displayed.
