1A4000.02 Automation Runtime
AR AR010
ID#166575 : solved problem, known since unbekannt, solved since V2.6.0.3106
If the PVI manager and AR010 are running on a PC at the same time, AR010 no longer recognizes the dongle. If the PVI manager is closed,
the problem goes away.
AR PP400
If a PLC (AR10x, PP300, PP400) is booted when the network cable is unplugged, the boot process is delayed by 5 seconds.

PocketPC
PVI support for Windows CE 5.0 platforms (PP100, PP40/50, Windows Pocket PC)
PVI DataLogger
PVI Manager
With a certain registration sequence, RF=0 results in a data event never being triggered.
If a process object is only setup with EV=e and then EV=d or EV=ed is set, the data event is not triggered until the next cyclic read. When
RF=0, no cyclic read is triggered. Now a read is always started after a change to the "ed" events.

In Windows Vista PVI Manager doesn't work as service.
In Windows Vista the PVI Manager can not be operated as a service.

When the PVI manager is active, a dongle can only be read once
Once the PVI manager is started, the dongle can only be read one more time. If you call BrSecChk.exe again, the dongle can no longer be
found. The problem only occurs with the LPT1 dongle holder on the APC.
A USB dongle can be read multiple times even when the PVI manager is running.

USB / LPT dongle request blocks communication for approx. 300 ms
When using a USB or LPT dongle, communication with the PLC is blocked for approximately 300 ms each minute.
PVI Setup
When the PVI setup is opened from the command line (in autoinstall mode), the exit code is not set when the following errors occur:
The PVI setup is installed in a writeprotected directory
The PVI manager is running

Error messages when opening the PVI OPC Configurator
When starting the PVI OPC Configurator, error messages appeared stating that the OS9 Arcnet and MTC lines could not be loaded.
Tools PVITransfer
User mode: File for the command "CFRestore" not found
If the command "CFRestore" is used in an include statement in user mode, the corresponding mapping file can sometimes not be found. The
problem only occurs when the path for the mapping file is entered as a relative path, and the mapping file is in a subdirectory.

With Windows 2000, CF can only be created once without administrator rights
If a CF is created in Windows 2000 without administrator rights, on some PCs this process can't be repeated. During the second attempt no CF
is displayed, so the process no longer works.
The PC must be restarted in order for a second CF to be generated. This problem does not occur when the user has administrator rights.

CF creation: Operating system error nr. 2 if CF is 4GB
If a 4GB CF is created with relatively small partitions (e.g. 5MB), the following error message appears: "Operating system error nr. 2 occurred.
Details: The system cannot find the specified file".
If the size of the partitions is increased (e.g. 15MB), the problem no longer occurs.

CD creation: No relative paths are entered for the command "CFRestoreFiles"
If a CD is created from a .pil file that contains the "CFRestoreFiles" command, it will not work. The problem is that the paths are not entered as
relative paths for the "CFRestoreFiles" command.

Dialog box for selecting the CF appears in the background
If a CF is created automatically using the .pil file, under certain circumstances the dialog for selecting the CF appears in the background.

CF creation: Image file can no longer be created after process is canceled
If the process is cancelled while creating an image file, an image file can then no longer be created. The dialog window must be closed and
reopened before an image can be created again.

"CFGenerate" command: Path for USER partition data can not be entered as a relative path
For the CFGenerate command, if the path for the USER partition data is entered as a relative path, even though it is correct it will result in an
error message stating that the directory does not exist.

CF images can't be restored on 64 MB Silicon Systems CF cards
If an image is created from a 64 MB SanDisk or Silicon Systems CF card, the image file can be restored, but the resulting CF card doesn't
work. The respective target system (e.g. PP400) can't be started with this CF card.
This problem only occurs when the image is restored on a 64 MB card from Silicon Systems. If the image is restored on a 64 MB card from
SanDisk, the error doesn't occur.

"RemoteInstallGenerate" command doesn't copy directory for USER partition
If a directory is specified for the USER partition, it is not copied when generating the remote install structure.

CD creation: The file "bootrom_pp400.sys" is missing from the output directory
When a CD is created from a PP300/PP400 project, the file "bootrom_pp400.sys" is missing from the created directory. As a result, the CD
that is created cannot be used to setup a CompactFlash card for a PP300/PP400 device.
Workaround:
The file "bootrom_pp400.sys" must be manually copied from the PVI Transfer installation folder to the output directory.

CF creation: Problems (CPU never finishes booting) with AR 2.92 for large HW configurations
When the PVI Transfer Tool is used to create a CF for AR 2.92 (or higher), and the HW configuration is large, the CPU gets stuck in the boot
procedure and never finishes. The reason for this is that the default setting for the SYSTEM partition of the PVI Transfer Tool is too small.
Workaround:
The size of the SYSTEM partition must be increased manually before creating the CF.

CF creation doesn't work if one has read only access to the project directory
When the user only has read only access to the project from which a CF should be created, the CF creation is completed without errors, but
the resulting CF is empty.
The problem occurs, for example, when a user tries to create a CF from a project that is stored on a network (where he or she has read only
rights). The CF is created without errors, but is empty.

"WriteVariableListToPLC" command doesn't work with TIME variables
If the command "WriteVariableListToPLC" is used to write a TIME variable to the PLC, the TIME value does not reach the PLC correctly. If,
however, the function "WriteVariable" is used, everything works fine.

Variable watch: Structure components are only shown partially
If the command "VariableWatch" is used to monitor multiple structure components from the same structure, only the first structure component
is ever shown, all others are not.

"Create remote install structure" does not work without operating system file
If you select the option "Installation/Update of Automation Runtime" and begin the process of creating a remote install structure without having
a valid .pil file, the PVI Transfer Tool will crash.

"CFRestoreFiles" command can also create partitions on a CF card
A new parameter has been added to the command "CFRestoreFiles". This parameter can also be used to partition the CF card before copying.
The same functions are now available as for the "CFService" command. This makes it possible to completely install a CF card in one step (with
one command).

Option for generating a remote install structure for a CF card added for the function "Generate remote install structure" and the command
"RemoteInstallGenerate". The created directory structure can then be copied directly to the USER partition of the CF card.

The new "CFService" command can be used to partition a CF card without copying data to it.

New command "ARUpdateFileGenerate": Adding the sysconf to the AR update file
The "ARUpdateFileGenerate" command is used to generate an AR update file (.br) from an AR base file (.s*). The AR update file can then be
transferred directly to the PLC, where it updates Automation Runtime. You can also add .br modules such as sysconf.br to the AR update file.

New command "Logger": Load and interpret logger modules
The new "logger" command can be used to load and interpret logger modules. The following functions are available:
Load the system logger module
Load the user logger module

Load a usercreated logger module
Interpret an existing .br file that contains logger data
The logger data can be saved in the following output formats:
.arl
.csv
.html
Tools PVITransfer 3.01.00.0002

"CFRestoreFiles" command with partition data doesn't create a BootLoader with PP400 CF
If the command "CFRestoreFiles" is used to generate a CF with partition data for a PP400, the PP400 doesn't boot. On the PP400 you get the
message "No boot device present. Halting".

User mode: Progress bar remains in the same place for very long time
If multiple commands are called in sequence in user mode (using "include" command), the progress bar stops moving for a long time. This
problem occurs when a command is used that takes a long time (e.g. CFRestore). For the user, it appears that the process has frozen.

User mode: "Initialization..." dialog box stays on screen
In user mode, the "Initialization" output stays in the middle of the screen throughout the initialization phase. During long initialization phases
this dialog box is usually in the way, and the process cannot be stopped during this time.

User mode: Updates to the layout
The following changes were made to user mode:
In order to display the progress better, there are now 2 progress bars (current command and total progress)
