The T1H-EBC100 now splits out the Ethernet errors (as seen from NetEdit) as follows:

• Missed Fr - A count of the packets missed due to overruns, unavailable buffers or a disabled receiver.

• TX Coll - A count of the packets which had a late collision while being received.

• Lost Pkts - A count of the packets discarded because they were too long or too short.

• Bad Pkts - A count of the packets which have bad CRC’s

• Unknown - A count of the packets which contain invalid symbols, extra bits or resulted in a receiver overrun condition.

• TX Errors - A count of the packets which could not be sent because the transmitter was unavailable for an extended period of time.

• Added ability to make the HTML configuration page Read-Only. (Requires NetEdit 3.7c or later)
• Added ability to force the Ethernet connection into 10Mb mode only. (Requires NetEdit 3.7c or later)

• Fixed a problem which could cause the T1H-EBC100 to crash (RED ERR LED) if it is being used as a Modbus/TCP slave with multiple Modbus/TCP connections. If those connections are interrupted for more than 20 seconds - like if the cable were unplugged, or if the radio modem lost it's connection - the T1H-EBC100 begins the process of closing these timed-out connections so that new connections can be established. The problem was in the code that closes the connections and cleans up the memory the connections use.

• Corrected an error in Module Status when reported via Modbus TCP/IP.

• If the T1H-EBC100 is configured to 'obtain an IP address automatically' and no DHCP server is available to provide an IP address, NetEdit could not connect to the device. We fixed this by temporarily setting the IP address to 0.0.0.0 when the T1H-EBC100 is looking for a DHCP server.
• Excluded the following addresses from being used in the IP Address field:
  224.x.x.x through 255.x.x.x (Multi-cast range)
  x.x.x.255
  127.0.0.0 & 127.0.0.1
• Added a Recovery-mode option. If the T1H-EBC100 is powered up with DIP switch 6 ON, the TCP/IP addressing information (IP Address, Subnet Mask & Gateway Address) fields are reset to 0.0.0.0. The Module Good and Error LEDs blink so that you can visually recognize this mode. You can use NetEdit to configure the IP addressing information while the T1H-EBC100 is in this mode, but you cannot access the I/O in this mode.

• Corrected issue with T1H-EBC and T1H-EBC100 that caused it to crash - the red ERR LED would come ON - if certain system functions like 'set the IP address' or 'set Module ID' were sent to the module via a broadcast packet.
  
  Details: If the T1H-EBC or T1H-EBC100 receives a network broadcast packet that contains a request to perform a device management function like set the IP Address, set the Module ID, etc., the T1H-EBC or T1H-EBC100 will not process the request. These device management functions must be sent to the T1H-EBC or T1H-EBC100 in a point-to-point packet or in a directed broadcast packet.

• Updated the TCP/IP stack code to v1.1.1
• Enhanced the garbage collection of "abandoned" packets to prevent the T1H-EBC100 from running out of available TCP/IP connections. Abandoned packets are typically a byproduct of using Ethernet radio modems, which tend to produce out-of-order packets whenever they get transmission errors.

• Fixed a problem where you could not use Modbus/TCP protocol to configure the outputs for the combination analog output modules (T1F-8AD4DA-1, T1F-8AD4DA-2).

• Fixed a problem that prevented 16pt Discrete I/O modules from being logged into the system correctly.
  
  The most common symptom of this problem occurred if you had a 16pt Discrete Input module followed by a 16pt Discrete Output module. The T1H-EBC100 would show both of these modules logged into the same slot with a module ID of 13.
  
  The fix for this problem cannot be applied in the field, you must return the T1H-EBC100 to have the unit serviced.
  
  There are two options available to have the T1H-EBC100 fixed:
  
  1. If you purchased the unit less than 30 days ago, you can return it to Automationdirect.com through their normal RMA processing system for a replacement.
  
  2. If you purchased the unit more than 30 days ago, you can contact us here at Host Engineering via email for instructions on how to ship the unit directly to us for repair. Send the email inquiry to support@hosteng.com.
  
  NOTE: This fix is for a very specific hardware related issue. Use the "Show Base Contents" option in NetEdit v3 to verify that adjacent 16pt Discrete I/O modules are showing up in the same slot with the Module ID of 13 before you contact us for a replacement or to have the unit repaired.

• Additional work in the TCP/IP stack so that it could correctly handle Modbus/TCP requests that come in very close together.

• Fixed a problem in the TCP/IP stack so that it could correctly handle Modbus/TCP requests that come in very close together.

• Updated the internal TCP/IP stack.

• Added support for function 0x0D - Delay processing for a given number of 50microsecond periods.

• If read requests for the I/O Module Status data are not on the 20-word boundaries, you get erroneous data. (see page 4-8 in the T1H-EBC User Manual).
• When using Modbus/TCP,  if the T1H-EBC100 receives additional read or write requests from the same client before it has a chance to respond to the first request, then those intervening requests could be ignored.

• Changed transformer to prevent a potential slow power-up issue.
  
  This fix cannot be applied in the field, you must return the T1H-EBC100 for a replacement module.

• This change to the common boot loader does not affect the T1H-EBC. For a description of this change see the H4-ECOM Revision History.

• Fixed a problem that prevented the T1H-CTRIO module from being logged into the system correctly.
  
  This fix cannot be applied in the field, you must return the T1H-EBC100 for a replacement module.

• This change to the common boot loader does not affect the T1H-EBC. For a description of this change see the H2-ECOM Revision History.

• For Modbus/TCP connections, we increased the Idle Connection Timeout value from 5 seconds to 60 seconds. This value determines how frequently the Modbus/TCP master has to access the EBC100 to keep the socket connection open.

• The Modbus/RTU ID (over the serial port) is now set to the Module ID, which is set by the DIP switches or by NetEdit 3.
• Fixed a problem with outputs not getting updated. Any output modules after the first analog output module were not getting updated. This is only a problem with Modbus/TCP protocol.
• Added the ability to access the Modbus Input Registers through the Modbus Holding Register memory by having the T1H-EBC100 mirror the 30001 range data into the 40001 range.

• Initial Release of the T1H-EBC100

• Fixed a problem in the T1H-EBC that it will now correctly handle packets with 128 bytes of serial data.

• Decrease the delay time in the boot loader as follows:
  
  Wait for Link Good + 150ms
  OR
  if No Link Good wait for a total of 2000ms

• Added support for new T1F-08AD-2F (Fast Response) module.
• Added Watchdog and Run Mode support for T1H-CTRIO to make the CTRIO power up in RUN mode (assuming the CTRIO has a valid configuration).

• Fixed problem with HEIWriteIO not returning the input status.
• Fixed problem in reporting the base definition for T1H-CTRIO

• Added support for T1H-CTRIO
• Serial port tweaks

• Increased internal buffer to handle maximum configuration (16 T1F-16DA-2).
• Increased analog output update performance.
• Made sure all status bits are read at the same time, by forcing a reread after a ReadModuleStatus call with Reset=TRUE.

• Minor changes to broadcast packet handling

• Added support for T1F-8AD4DA combination analog module and
  T1F-14THM Thermocouple module.

• Fixed problem in the serial port interface.

• Initial Release of the T1H-EBC
