POD UG Series

FUJI ELECTRIC Programmable Operation Display (POD) UG Series
Information on Version Upgrade of UG00S Screen Programming Software

1. Target Models
Screen programming software for POD UG Series

Model	Specification	Latest version
UG00S-CWV3	Screen programming software, Japanese/English version	V3.2.27.0

2. Major Revisions

(1)UG630 series support

(2)Adjustable retries following an Ethernet communications error

The number of retries, which was formerly fixed at three, can now be set to any desired number.

(3)Independent transmission of Ethernet network tables

When the network table content is changed, the network table itself can now be independently transmitted (via a CF card). Previously, the entire screen data had to be transmitted. This greatly reduces transmission time.

(4)Local window support for Chinese and Korean languages

Chinese (simplified or traditional characters) and Korean are now supported at the local window level.

(5)Network list files supported for all FUJI F-MPC series temperature controller models

List files have been added to the temperature control network for the FePSU and all models in the F-MPC series.

(6)CVFD macro $s99 option added

In the CVFD macro, when real numbers (floating points) are converted to decimals, until now the last decimal point has been determined by simply rounding off to the nearest unit. A new function has been added that also allows any fraction to be counted as one, or omitted entirely.

(7)Model supporting temperature control networks has been added.

3. Revision History (Major Revisions)

(1)V3.2.26.0

(a) Direct data transfer between external devices using macro commands BMOV, CVMOV

Whereas data previously had to be sent first to internal memory in order to transfer it between external devices (PLCs, temperature controllers, and memory cards), it can now be transferred directly.

(b) UG-Link local station nodes increased

The number of local station nodes that can be set has been increased from the previous 1 to 31 to 1 to 254. Local station nodes can now also be set using the POD local window.

(c)Password protection for transferring screen data to a CF card

A password can be set for transferring screen data from the POD to a CF (Compact Flash) card.

(d)Screen switching method revised for local window expansion function setting

The expansion function setting window of the local window is switched to set the modem baud rate for remote maintenance. The method for switching this window has been revised.

Before revision:	Switching was done using the Editor:MJ1 switch of the local main window.
After revision:	Switching is done by simultaneously pressing function switch F5 and the Editor:MJ1 switch of the local main window.

(e)Alarm sample setting item added

A setting item that prevents the alarm from being cancelled while it is being generated has been added to the Environment Setting tab of the Unit Settings.

(f)LG company name revised

The LG company name has been changed to LS.

(g)MICREX-SX series 24-bit address supported

The address capability has been expanded to support 24-bit addresses when MICREX-SX is selected for the simulator.

(h)Capacity increased for Mitsubishi Q series ladder monitor data

The ladder data capacity has been expanded from 1MB to 4MB.

(2)V3.2.25.0

(a) Macro command added

A transfer macro command (CVMOV) has been added to exchange the most significant and least significant words in PLC double-word data.

(b) New specifications added for setting barcodes

In addition to the previous STX/ETX and CR/LF terminal settings for setting barcodes, the ability to select only CR has been added.

(c)Switch function added

A function that enables the changing of input characters has been added. Up to 15 character patterns can be easily switched with this setting.

(d) E-mail sending time zone changed

The time zone has been changed from Eastern Standard Time (GMT-05:00: U.S.A., Canada) to Japan Standard Time (GMT+09:00: Tokyo, Osaka, Sapporo).

(e) DeviceNet explicit message communications supported

DeviceNet explicit message communications are now supported. Version 1.310 or higher interface drivers are compatible.

(f) Model supporting temperature control networks has been added.

(3)V3.2.24.0

(a) Macro command added
	Macro commands enabling real number operation have been added. S - Additional macro commands: F_ADD (addition), F_SUB (subtraction), F_MUL (multiplication), F_DIV (division), F_SUM (sum total), F_AVG (average), F_MAX (maximum), and F_MIN (minimum)

(b) Number of files in backup folder for sampling files increased
	The number of files created in the backup folder for sampling files has been increased from 10 to 36.

(c)New specification added for the sampling file backup folder
	A new specification has been added so that sampling files will be deleted from old backup folders when the volume of new sampling files being backed up in a CF (Compact Flash) card exceeds the CF card capacity.

(d) Switch lamp with 16-notch capability (UG30)
	The number of selectable patterns for the switch lamp has been increased to 16.

(e) Background macro added
	A macro has been added to Video2 macros for use in video display items so that snapshot images can be saved regardless of whether they are displayed on the POD screen or not.

(4)V3.2.23.0

(a) Fuji Electric FA Components & Systems PLC ladder monitor support

The ladder programs for FUJI PLCs can now be monitored on a POD screen by mounting the ladder monitor expansion memory cassette (UG30P-LM) to the POD. SX-Programmer Standard is used for the PLC loader.

5. Upgrade Procedure

(1)	Create a new folder in any location of the PC's hard disk.
(2)	Download the V3.2.27.0 update file (UGUpdate_eV3.2.27.0.exe) to the new folder.
(3)	Double-click the update file (self-extracting compressed file).
(4)	Files are extracted in the folder.
(5)	Among the extracted files, double-click the setup.exe in the "UGUpdate_e" folder.
(6)	Install the software according to the installer's instructions.
(7)	When the installation procedure is completed, activate UG00S and make sure the version number has been updated to V3.2.27.0 using the Help menu. If V3.2.27.0 is displayed, installation has completed successfully.

6. Notes on Upgrade

(1)	Install the update file to the PC in which UG00S-3W/3 WE/CW is installed.
(2)	The update file can be used only when the version of UG00S-3W/3 WE/CW already installed is V2.0.0.0 or later.
(3)	If the size of the update file differs from that of the downloaded file, discard the file and download it again.
(4)	The update file does not include Gothic font files, 3D Parts files, and English Gothic and Times font files. If you are using UG00S-3W/3WE (V2.3 or earlier), you need to download and install Gothic font files and 3D Parts file in addition to the update file. (If you are using UG00S-CW, you can skip this procedure.)
(5)	The update file includes the main program and I/F drivers for PLC.

You can download the screen creation software UG00S-CWV upgrade version from the Technical Information Service Screen (Free membership).
