2003/February
2.13 -> 2.20

1) A UserFunc block embedded with a UserFunc block can be registered if the project was created using a
different Personal Computer.
2) The main and sub wires connected to a UserFunc block moved from its original location during a
simulation of the user’s program.
3) The sub wires connected to an empty UserFunc block disappeared during a simulation of the user’s
program.
4) An application error occurred if a UserFunc block that had a sub wire connected to an input is copied
and pasted onto the Function Block Diagram (FBD).
5) The Display Function block parameters changed during a simulation of the user’s program due to a
separate UserFunc block located on the FBD.
6) The Alpha 2 Series Controller does not support space characters, therefore, such characters entered into
a Display function block’s string will cause an error with the verification function.
7) After simulating the user program, forbidden UserFunc block analog word output pin wiring was
permitted.
8) Under certain circumstances, an application error occurred because the Alpha 2 project settings were
changed to Alpha project settings with a Display Function block located on the FBD.
9) Modification to the number of UserFunc block input/output pins did not always guarantee a successful
change.
10) The deletion of a UserFunc block failed to update the memory usage allocation settings held in the VLS
software.
11) The monitoring items, which are placed under each function block during a simulation of the user’s
project, failed to appear on the SubFBD when the user scrolled to the bottom of the screen.
12) An application error occurred due to the deletion of a comment from the SubFBD.
13) The parameter information for connected function blocks was not updated when an “insert func” using
the right click of the mouse was performed on the connecting main wire.
14) The CTRL+Z shortcut key that clears a mistaken operation did not clear a copy and paste procedure.
15) The following operation caused an application error:
16) Select two Function Blocks on the FBD (ex. One Shot and the Up/Down Counter)
17) Connect the two function blocks using their respective word pins
18) Select all and the paste the contents to the Monitoring in System Sketch window.
19) While simulating the user project open the One Shot dialog box.
20) Directly connecting the word input pin to the word output pin of an UserFunc block will prevent an
update of the function block attached to the word output pin.
21) Function blocks held inside a UserFunc were not accessible using the Alpha 2 Series Controller’s
Computer Link Function.

2.10 -> 2.13 Bug content

1) Parameter information of function blocks held inside a UserFunc block changed after the simulation
of the user’s project was completed.
2) Shutting down VLS that contained a user project with numerous amounts of UserFunc blocks caused
an application error.
3) Deletion of the UserFunc causes an application error.
4) Simulating the Shift Function Block appears to differ form the actual perceived shift-bit operation.
2.10 -> 2.11 Bug content.

1. When a numerical value was set using the spin buttons within the function block dialog box and then
confirmed with the OK button, if the window was then reopened a different value appeared as the setting for
the function block.

1) Open the setting dialog box of Function Block.

2) Data is set. (Example: Data is “1300”.)

3) Press the [OK] button.

4) Reopen the same setting dialog box.
5) Set data is set to zero.
2.00 -> 2.10 Updated items.

1. Windows XP (home or professional versions) supported.

2. The setup of COM port was enabled to COM10.

3. The function block editing dialog windows now contain easy to use spin buttons.
4. Import/Export feature added for the UserFunc Block.

4.1. Export Registered User Func

1) Click the icon of the UserFunc to Export. (In this case, ”UF01”)

2) Next, select "Export Registered User Func" from the File menu
3) The “Export Registered User Func” Dialog box will be displayed.
The *.ruf file of the UserFunc chosen to extract from \Program Files \Alvls \Library \UserFunc, the
*_ON.bmp and *_OFF.bmp files of the same name which are held in \Program Files \Alvls \Library
\Bitmap are extracted.
(In this case, the file "UF01.ruf", "UF01_ON.bmp", and "UF01_OFF.bmp" are extracted)

Program Files

Alvls

Library

Bitmap Image Userfunc

UF01_ON.bmp UF01.ruf
UF01_OFF.bmp

In the "Export Registered User Func" dialog box, the folder that saves the exported file is chosen (in this
case, "UFLib") and enter the UserFunc name(in this case, "UF01") and click the save button.

Status of the ”UFLib” Folder.

*.ruf file and *.bmp file should be stored together in “UFLib” folder.
4.2. Import Registered User Func

1) Select “Import Registered User Func” from the File Menu

2) The “Import Registered User Func” dialog box will be displayed.

In the “Import Registered User Func” dialog box, specify any folder (In this case, “UFLib”), which holds
the data to Import, and enter(select) the name of the Imported data(In this case, it is “UF03”), and click
the Open button.

Here, selected *.ruf file, *_ON.bmp and *_OFF.bmp file of the same name will be selected at the
same time. (In this case, each file of ”UF03.ruf”, ” UF03_ON.bmp”, ” UF03_OFF.bmp” will be
selected.)
The *.ruf file should be imported into \Program Files \Alvls \Library \UserFunc, *_ON.bmp and
*_OFF.bmp files of the same name should be imported into \Program Files \Alvls \Library \Bitmap. And,
UserFunc.inf is created (renewal).
