Upgrading the MICREX-SX Series SPH Programming Support Tool

Added Model Transition Function to support migration from SPH200 to SPH2200-048RN.

Added new modules

• Inverter：FRN-GS1M（SX:4W+4W/8W+8W/16W+16W/12W+4W/22W+29W）

• Inverter：FRN-GS1M（E-SX:4W+4W/8W+8W/16W+16W）

• Converter：FRN-GS1P（SX:4W+4W/8W+8W/16W+16W/12W+4W/22W+29W）

• Converter：FRN-GS1P（E-SX:4W+4W / 8W+8W / 16W+16W）

Expanded Gigabit Ethernet port for SPH5000M from one to two.

Supported OPC UA on SPH5000H.

When comparing projects, you can now double-click a "Project" node to perform a detailed comparison.

The specifications have been changed so that projects cannot be saved in V3.6 format if the project is password protected.

SPF FW has been upgraded to V13.

The current consumption value of NP1Y32T09P1 (sink output 32 points) has been changed (52mA → 45mA).

Even if a slave with 512 words or more is configured on the EtherCAT of the SPH5000EC, all EtherCAT IQ areas can now be displayed on the monitor display of the SX control utility.

Supported the following EtherCAT slave module

• FANUC slave（Digital Servo Adapter CiA402）

Supported new CPU series.

• OnePackEdge CBM1（V2）

Resolved an issue where variables of abbreviated data types（TOD and DT）could not be assigned initial values.

For SPH5000M, if you upload a project without creating a new one, and the E-SX bus IO module is configured, the system configuration of the uploaded project cannot be opened. This has been improved.

Fixed a bug that prevented the E-SX Analog IO Adjustment tool from being used with the SPH5000M.

Fixed a bug that could cause slow processing and freezes when copying and pasting user-defined variables with many elements on the Variables worksheet.

Fixed an issue when downloading an SPH3300-048EN project created with the English template would result in a model mismatch and the project could not be downloaded.

Fixed an issue where SPH300 (NP1PS-74D) projects could not be downloaded.

Fixed an issue where importing global variables during an Extended IEC import would result in a message box titled "Core".

Fixed an issue where allocation of added FB instances failed if Patch POU was canceled or interrupted.

Fixed an issue where dragging and dropping or pasting task settings would change some setting values.

Fixed a bug in the system definition

• For the SPH5000H, if a remote master module is configured under NP1L-RU1H, the Fail-soft operation setting is automatically set even if the Fail-soft operation setting is reset. This issue is resolved.

• If 512W or more IOs are configured on NP1L-TL1(Ext) under E-SX, error is not detected on system definition check. This issue is resolved.

• For the SPH5000H, when NP1L-PEH is set as No equipment, if module is configured on SX-bus, error is not detected on system definition check. This issue is resolved.

• For the SPH5000EC multi-CPU configuration, output modules were assigned to multiple CPUs on I/O group setting. This issue is resolved.

Fixed a bug in the compiler

• Fixed a bug that caused Expert to crash unexpectedly when compiling a project that defined an FB with an FB instance size close to the maximum value.

• Fixed an issue "It failed in peculiar machine language generation to the resource." error when specifying elements of a two-dimensional array as constant value in VAR_IN_OUT.

Fixed a bug in the optimizing compiler

• Fixed a problem where a compile error occurred when the name of a system FB was declared in lowercase.

• For SPH2200/3300, when optimization was enabled for a project in which a structure with BOOL type variables as elements was allocated to multi-CPU non-retained memory/multi-CPU retained memory, the CPU cause data abort error. This issue is resolved.

Fixed a bug in the Memory Card Utility.

• Fixed an issue where clearing an SPH5000EC project stored in UROM would not delete files in the project folder.

• For SPH2200/3300, when an SD card formatted with the Memory Card Utility was inserted into the CPU and memory clear was performed, the program inside the CPU was not initialized, resulting in a fatal-fault error. This issue is resolved.

Fixed a bug in the SX control utility

• Fixed an issue where a "parameter error" occurred and the SX control utility was unexpectedly terminated when transferring an SPH2000 backup file to a PLC.

• For SPH5000M-128E, unable to monitor multi-CPU retain memory issue is resolved.

Fixed a bug in the EtherCAT Configurator.

• Fixed a problem where the configurator would terminate unexpectedly when starting the configurator from the fault diagnosis and selecting a slave node.

• Fixed a problem where the configurator would terminate unexpectedly when certain backup parameters were entered.

Fixed a bug in the logging function.

• Fixed a bug that caused an exception error when opening the trigger setting screen after registering multiple sample targets and setting triggers, and then deleting the registered sample targets.

• Improved the behavior where, after registering a sample target and setting a trigger, even if you delete the registered sample target, the deleted sample target will still be displayed as a target for the trigger condition.

• If there is one or more DATA tabs for which trigger conditions have not been set, the "Batch operation" button cannot be operated.

To use the project used in this version with V3.6, specify the old version (V3.6) format and save it by "Save Project As/Zip Project As".

The project file used with this version cannot be opened on the previous version (before V3.5.4.14).

There is no change in the product model (NP4H-SEDBV3) or medium (CD-R).
