2. Enhanced/Improved Functions of Sysmac Studio V 1. 17 n Enhanced/Improved Functions <Common to Sysmac Studio> 1. Improved the performance of startup, import, and other processing. 2. Added the function to set a default author name for projects and POUs as a property. 3. Improved so that the Simulator and the Controller can mutually use the present value data of the retained variables. <Related to Controllers> 1. Added the function to import/export all NX Units on a Slave Terminal. 3 CONFIDENTIAL © OMRON Corporation 3

2. 4. Enhanced/Improved Functions Present values of retained variables can be restored to both Controller and Simulator. From: To: The backup data could not be used in the other function because of the difference in the format of backup files. The csv file created by the Backup Variables and Memory function (Controller data) The csv file created by Transfer All Variable Present Values function (Simulator data) The backup data could not be restored by the other function because of the difference between the file formats. CONFIDENTIAL Because the backup data can be restored to both devices, you can analyze the causes of controller errors through a simulation or apply the simulation results to the controller. The csv file created by the Backup Variables and Memory function can be selected in the Transfer All Variable Present Values function. The csv file created by the Transfer All Variable Present Values function can be selected in the Restore Variables and Memory function. (Only the retained variables can be restored. ) © OMRON Corporation 4

3. Other Improved Functions of Sysmac Studio V 1. 17 <Related to Controllers> 1. Solved the problem that FSo. E communication was disconnected when a program was transferred. 2. Solved the problem that outputs from Ether. CAT slaves were stopped because communications with the slaves were stopped when a program was transferred. 3. Solved the problem that an unnecessary NX Message Communications Error (0 x 80220000) was registered in the event log. 4. Improved the Production Information dialog box by exchanging the display positions of lot number and serial number. 5. Solved the problem that the Backup Variables and Memory operation failed for _s. AXIS_REF variables when the unit version set in the tool was different from the actual Controller version. 6. Solved the problem that GPF occurred if the Compare and Merge with Actual Network Configuration operation was executed when two device ESIs of the same model and revision had been installed. 7. Solved the problem that registered variables under a Controller was not recognized in the Watch tab page and caused errors in the projects with a device other than Controllers.

3. Other Improved Functions of Sysmac Studio V 1. 17 <Related to Controllers> 8. Solved the problem that the comments that were added by the variable/data type comment import function were not saved. 9. Solved the problem that online editing could not be started due to an error (FTS 014_04). 10. Solved the problem that a build error occurred in the Turkish environment because data type names could not be used as case-insensitive. 11. Solved the problem that the configuration could not be matched between an actual Controller and an actual Safety CPU Unit in the synchronization function because SIO Units could not be recognized when the configurations were recompared after the Transfer from Controller operation. 12. Solved the problem that retained variable data could not be restored when a space was included in the project name. 13. Solved the problem that a project could not be transferred if the Update Configurations and Setup Transfer Data command was executed after transferring a project including a CIF Unit from the Controller to the computer.
