Version 7.23 - Released 17 June 2019

What’s new

• Integrator: Conveyor: an Encoder has been added to the conveyor to calculate the distance travelled. By default this ‘Encoder’ is not enabled. User need to enable it in Property Editor like this:

  

  In Simulation script the property is called ‘DistanceTravelled’ of type unsigned int 32bit and is read only. The value is in millimeter (or inches with imperial project):

  var c1 = GetComponentByNameAndType("Conveyor1", "Conveyor");
  LogDebug("Distance Travelled millimeter: " + c1.DistanceTravelled);
  

  This new property can be used in Device IOs and Tags:

• Integrator: CrossBeltSorter: just like the conveyor above, an Encoder has been added to the cross belt sorter:

  

  And it can also be used in Simulation Script, Device IOs and Tags.

  [JIRA Sym3-306] [ref 15076]

• Integrator: Divert Rule: add a new parameter called “Max Discharge/minute”. [ref 15179]

  

  If user tick this option the following rule is applied:

  "From the Max number of items per minutes, calculate the time interval between each item and disallow discharge if an item is presented at the chute in a time shorter than the interval after the previous item was discharged."
  

  Example:

  "10 items per minute: interval: 6 seconds. If an item is discharged at time T, no other item can be discharge before T + 6 seconds"
  

Bugs fixed

• Datasource - Mitsubishi: Sym3 Integrator didn’t handle well tags using 2 (or more) MELSEC datasources using same IP address (same PLC) but different port in PLC program. [JIRA Sym3-209] [ref 15184]
