UPGRADE FROM VERSION 16.0.1 TO 16.1.2
If you are upgrading from the Applications CD version 16.0.1, you should do the following:
- If you have your files for the PiC/MMC applications located in a subdirectory under the Applications V16.0.1 directory, you should move that subdirectory tree under the new Applications V16.1.2 data directory (C:\G&L Motion Control Data\Applications V16.1.2).
- If you have your application files organized using the PiCPro V16.0 project manager, change the PiCPro library path from V16.0 to V16.1.
UPGRADING APPLICATIONS USING OPC_ENET AND OPC_10
OPC_ENET and OPC_10 were updated in V14.0.1 to include a status structure input that provides diagnostic status information that simplifies application start up. When upgrading an application prior to V14.1 to PiCPro Version 16.1, a compile error will be indicated when compiling/downloading your application and you will be required to add the status input to your application program. A simple way to perform this update is to right click on the OPC_ENET/10 function in your application and select View UDFB/Task. In OPC_ENET/10 view software declarations and copy the STAT structure to the clipboard. Close software declarations and close OPC_ENET/10 and view software declarations in your application program then paste the STAT structure into your application program's software declaration table. Add the STAT structure to the network containing OPC_ENET/10 and your application should now compile successfully.
