Version 8.0

Version 8.0.1 - Released 17th September 2019

What’s new

  • Sym3 Operator Web client: Sym3 has now a client that is running directly in the browser and in 3D graphics. This is working in any major modern browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari). Doesn’t work in IE.

    You can connect to our demo server to have a live demo of this web client:

IMPORTANT: Please note that the Android application is now deprecated and we will stop maintain it for any version >= v8.0. Please use the web client on Android. We will still maintain the iOS application.

  • The encoder value (Distance travelled) used by Conveyors, Tilt tray sorters and Shoe sorters is a computed value and was previously calculated every 30ms. The rate is now configurable as a global value for all equipment.[JIRA Sym3-322] [ref 16299]

Bugs fixed

  • Datasource Mitsubishi: the ‘Enable Profiling’ option was not saved in project. [JIRA Sym3-328] [ref 16591]
  • CrossBeltSorter: Sym3 had a delay issue when blocking/unblcking belt (usig OnBeltBlocking and OnBeltUnblocking events). This was a graphics issue. [JIRA Sym3-331] [ref 16538]
  • Datasource - Mitsubishi driver. Introduction of an update rate. The driver will alternatively READ and WRITE memory. Each command (READ or WRITE) is executed at the update rate.[JIRA Sym3-323] [ref 16418]
  • Datasource - Mitsubishi driver. Tags using this datasource do not require the property “Update Rate” so it has been removed. Also note that “Simulate Tag” has been removed. [ref 16289]
  • Shoe sorter - Encoder value. After loading a project, the value of “Distance Travelled” was staying at 0. [ref 16008]
  • Cross Belt Sorter: in simulation script the events ‘OnBeltBlocking’ and ‘OnBeltUnblocking’ something were fired more than once due to an issue when a product was inducted on the sorter (the internal ‘blocked’ counter was automatically incremented)[JIRA Sym3-325] [ref 16341]
  • A regression was introduced from v7.24 to v8.0. Sending a message had an error “Channel is null” is Message Viewer. [ref 16102]
  • In the previous 8.0.0 version of Sym3, OPC UA was not available. It has now been added to this version. [ref 15765]
  • Operator: property editor: for a conveyor, the ‘Tracking Window’ value validation for not correct using a project in imperial unit. [SUPPORT 1511] [ref 15808]
