  　　　agreement, online help).
  　　• Notification and display of software update information when a newer version is available
  　　　　• when starting Control FPWIN Pro7 and
  　　　　• in the About Control FPWIN Pro dialog.

Corrected the following errors.

• Editors
  　　• ST editor: The data type of the parameters connected to EN/ENO functions was not checked if the first parameter in the parameter list was not of the
  　　　type BOOL. This has been fixed.
• Online edit mode, Download program code changes to PLC
  　　• In rare cases, new variables of programs were not initialized when downloading changes to the PLC. This has been fixed.
• Others
  　　• When using Control FPWIN Pro7 with multiple monitors and different Windows scaling settings, a context menu in the tear-off editor window was displayed in the wrong position. This has been fixed.
  　　• Depending on the Windows scaling settings, the size of the text in some dialogs was not appropriate. This has been fixed.
  　　• In some cases, a crash occurred when creating or opening a project. This has been fixed.

The following points have been upgraded.

• Code generation
  　　• LD editor, IL editor, ST editor: Removed error message for simple standard function blocks where instance variables were used
  　　　in a function block call and in a separate access to the variable.
• Version control
  　　• The handling of compile flags and call references and with this the performance on updating the working copy from the repository
  　　　has been improved.
• About dialog
  　　• The dialog has been redesigned to display different URLs and copyright information depending on the market.
• Others
  　　• Project import from FPWIN GR7 now supports FP7 series PLCs.

Corrected the following errors.

• Code generation
  　　• FP7: When the ALT instruction was used together with a bit access in a DT word memory area (e.g. DT0.0), a syntax error occurred
  　　　on the PLC after downloading the program code. This has been fixed.
  　　• Using DIV, MUL, MOD with ANY16, ANY32, UINT, and UDINT (e.g. MUL(DT100, uiVar1, DT200)) resulted in wrong code generation or
  　　　operation errors. This has been fixed.
  　　• Corrected code generation for FP_DATA_MEAN_SUM_REAL with 32bit explicit user addresses like TSV100.
  　　• Optimized the code generation for the functions MUL_TIME_REAL and DIV_TIME_REAL with constant arguments.
• Editors
  　　• ST editor: A syntax error occurred when accessing the member variables R1 and LD of the standard function blocks CTD, CTUD, and RS.
  　　　This has been fixed.
  　　• IL editor: A syntax error occurred when accessing the member variables R, S, and LD of the standard function blocks RS, SR, CTD, CTU
  　　　and CTUD. This has been fixed.
• Online mode
  　　• When TLS1.2 or later was selected in the FTP client function and an FP0H C32ET/EP project was converted to another PLC type,
  　　　the wrong message "The firmware version of the connected PLC is x.y. For a proper operation of the project, firmware version 7.x.y is
  　　　recommended." appeared when going online. This has been fixed.
  　　• Some system library functions contain an explicit ST body (e.g. Unit_AnalogInput_FP0_RTD_INT).
  　　　With metadata enabled, a false message was displayed stating that the metadata were out of date and the project needed to be recompiled.
  　　　The error occurred after downloading the project and switching Control FPWIN Pro7 to offline and back to online mode. This has been fixed.
• Others
  　　• On some occasions, a crash occurred when a manipulated project file was opened which could cause a vulnerability problem.
  　　　This has been fixed.

The following points have been upgraded.

• Code generation
  　　• The new compile option “Initialize all variables except existing retain variables” initializes all variables after downloading the project in
  　　　“PROG mode”.
  　　• The new string literal prefix latin1# (e.g. latin1#'äöü') has been implemented to explicitly specify the encoding of non-ASCII characters > 0x7F.
  　　• A new warning is output for default string literals without prefix, e.g. 'äöü' for non-ASCII characters > 0x7F.
• Online mode
  　　• Improved communication via Ethernet.
  　　　　• The computer's IP address is selected automatically according to the destination IP address and the computer's IP address settings
  　　　　　are deleted.
  　　　　• ET-LAN unit settings and timeout settings were moved to the new “Options” dialog.
  　　　　• The C-NET station number can now be set in the “Options” dialog.
• Version control for user libraries
  　　• If version control has been activated for the project, version control can now also be activated for user libraries.
  　　• Each version-controlled user library maintains a mirror called library working copy in a folder called "LibraryName.vcf"
  　　　(vcf = version-controlled folder) that is created in the "Libraries" folder of the project's working copy.
  　　• The library working copy contains the same configuration data as the user library but has a detailed object structure as in the navigator tree and
  　　　contains mostly human-readable files.
  　　• Library working copy and corresponding user library are automatically kept in sync without visible user interaction. Any change saved in
  　　　Control FPWIN Pro7 is immediately reflected in the library working copy by updating the corresponding object file. Vice versa, changes in the
  　　　library working copy (when updated from the library repository) are (normally) automatically reflected in the open project, more exact, in the
  　　　corresponding user library.
  　　• The library working copy should be imported into a global library repository (to be done manually outside of Control FPWIN Pro7).
  　　　As the only original ("official") source of this library, this repository contains all revisions, changes, dates, and change information to be used by
  　　　all cooperative developers of this user library.
  　　• The repository is the key to inspect, commit, update, merge, and revert (undo) any changes done to a library working copy from every user's and
  　　　all users' perspective. It allows version control and multi-user development.
• New help platform
  　　• The online help is now hosted in the Control FPWIN Pro7 info hub (https://infohub.industry.panasonic.eu/documentation/fpwin) and opens in
  　　　your Web browser.
  　　　For users without Internet access, the offline help is displayed from your local installation. The available language for the offline help depends on
  　　　your installed interface language. Please note that the online documentation is continuously updated, while the offline help does not change after
  　　　the release of Control FPWIN Pro7.
  　　　For the most up-to-date information, please use the online help.
• Editors
  　　• When a variable, DUT, function, or function block is renamed, the references in the programming editors are replaced context-specifically.
  　　• An “Advanced” context menu in the “ST editor” contains useful commands and shortcuts.
• Others
  　　• Object comments can be edited directly in the object properties dialog. The comment editing dialog is no longer needed and has been removed.
  　　• The interval time edit field of the properties dialog for periodic interrupts has been improved.
  　　• To open the file location of the project in File Explorer, “Open containing folder” has been added to the context menu on the start page and the
  　　　project object in the navigator.
  　　• A link to the license file was added in the “About Control FPWIN Pro7” dialog.
• Online edit mode, Download program code changes to PLC
  　　• During compilation, the addresses existing in the last downloaded project will be used for function variables.
  　　• The message box displayed when online mode is started asking users to upload the address assignment of variables has been improved.
  　　• When a project cannot be saved in the PLC because it is too large, it is now possible to only save the address assignment table on the PLC.

Corrected the following errors.

• Code generation
  　　• If existing variables were deactivated and new POUs added, these variables could overlap with the new variables when they were reactivated
  　　　and incrementally compiled. This has been fixed.
  　　• Global retain variables of the data type STRING with explicit user addresses are not initialized under certain conditions. In the past, this has gone
  　　　unnoticed. Now an error message informs you of this fact. The variables are not initialized in the following cases:
  　　• The compile option “Initialize all variables except global retain variables with explicit addresses” is selected.
  　　• The address range in the hold area of “Data registers DT” is set to 0 so that no cold-start detection registers are available.
  　　• There are no retain system variables which require an initialization code.
  　　• The EtherNet/IP explicit messaging instruction FP_ETHERNETIP_DATA_EXCHANGE_FB could not be used together with Modbus communication
  　　　commands. This has been fixed.
  　　• The button “Download differences to PLC in RUN mode” in the dialog “Download project to PLC” did not show a warning message when a project
  　　　with identical metadata but different program code was running on the PLC. This has been fixed.
  　　• When new variables were added and “Download differences to PLC in RUN mode” was executed, the processing of the instructions PID_FB and
  　　　PID_DUT_FB was stopped under certain circumstances. This has been
  　　　fixed.
  　　• “Download differences to PLC in RUN mode” did not initialize new global variables. This has been fixed.
• Others
  　　• On some occasions, a crash occurred when a manipulated project file was opened, which could cause a vulnerability problem.
  　　　This has been fixed.
  　　• Changed implementation of the standard IEC function blocks CTU, CTD, CTUD, SR, and RS:
  　　　　• Calling these function blocks in the “ST editor” no longer generates warning for the parameter names LD and R1.
  　　　　• The parameter names LD, R, S, S1, R, R1, and Q1 no longer have error squiggles in the “ST editor”.
  • Auto completion of FB-instances showed wrong members. This has been fixed.
  　　• For overlapping data unit types containing an array of DUT, no error was output, even though this is not allowed. This has been fixed.
  　　• Optimization for the MUL_TIME_INT and DIV_TIME_INT instructions with constant arguments was missing and the result was not calculated
  　　　at compile time. This has been fixed.
  　　• “ST editor”: Ambiguous call statements could be created by setting a function name as the identifier name of an FB instance. This has been fixed.
  　　• FP0H C32ET, FP-XH C40ET/C60ET: A compiler error occurred, when a communication instruction was used and an interrupt program
  　　　(e.g. a division) wrote the sys_iDivRemainder system variable. This has been fixed.
  　　• FP2SH, FP10SH: A compiler error was output when a coil with a rising or falling edge was used together with a pulse relay. This has been fixed.
  　　• Creating a new project from a .pce file with libraries which had not been accessible during the creation of the .pce file did not restore the libraries
  　　　unicode settings correctly. As a result, the library could not be opened if the library had the format “Unicode format, supports read-only
  　　　passwords from version 7.3.0.0”. This has been fixed.
• “PLC status” and “Slot status” dialogs:
  　　• For FPΣ, FP0H: The indication of I/O unit verify errors in the “Slot status” dialog has been corrected.
  　　• The tooltips for I/O unit errors, intelligent unit errors, and I/O unit verify error have been improved.
  　　• The “Slot status” dialog has been improved to show the correct unit configurations.

  　　　　• Multi-line comment, e.g. /*comment*/
  　　　　　Existing multi-line comments, e.g. (*comment*), are still supported.
• Improved “Online edit mode” and “Download differences to PLC in RUN mode”
  　　• During compilation, the same addresses will be used for variables that already exist in the last downloaded project.
  　　• “Download differences to PLC in RUN mode” initializes all new variables.
  　　• The “Download project to PLC” dialog includes additional checks for consistency of the project's variable address information.
  　　 When “Download differences to PLC in RUN mode” is selected and the download seems critical, a warning or error message appears.
  　　• A new dialog shows all new, deleted, and changed variables. It can be accessed in the dialog “Download project to PLC”
  　　 by clicking “Show modified variables”.
  　　• It is possible to add new declarations under “POUs”, “DUTs”, “Global variables”, and “Tasks” during online edit mode.
• Version control
  　　• A version-controlled project creates a mirror of the project called working copy.
  　　 A folder "ProjectName.vcf" (vcf = version-controlled folder) is created in the same file path where your project is stored.
  　　• The working copy contains the same configuration data as the project file but has a detailed object structure as in the navigator tree and
  　　 contains mostly humanreadable files.
  　　• Working copy and project are automatically kept in sync without visible user interaction.
  　　 Any change saved in Control FPWIN Pro7 is immediately reflected in the working copy by updating the corresponding object file.
  　　 Vice versa, changes in the working copy (when updated from the project repository) are (normally) automatically reflected in the open project.
  　　• The working copy should be imported into a global project repository (to be done manually outside of Control FPWIN Pro7).
  　　 As the only original ("official") source of this project, this repository contains all revisions, changes, dates,
  　　 and change information to be used by all cooperative users of this project.
  　　• The repository is the key to inspect, commit, update, merge, and revert (undo) any changes done to a working copy from every user's and
  　　 all users' perspective. It allows version control and multi-user development.
