NetEdit v3 Revision History
Version Date Description of Problem(s) / Addition(s) / Change(s)
3.7b 12-May-2008
  • Fixed a bug that was introduced in 3.7a that would cause the firmware update process to fail.
3.7a 6-May-2008
  • Display more informative messages for errors during Live Update.
  • No longer include firmware files for Ethernet devices, use Live Update to get the latest firmware files, or download All_Firmware_Binary_Files.Zip (on Support->Firmware page) if you can't use Live Update.
3.7 21-Feb-2007
  • Added 'Test Email' option for Hx-ECOM100s.
  • Excluded the following addresses from being used in the IP Address field for all ECOM100s and EBC100s:
    224.x.x.x through 255.x.x.x (Multi-cast range)
    x.x.x.255
    127.0.0.0 & 127.0.0.1
3.6d 30-Jan-2007
  • Added a field to adjust the Modbus Slave Timeout value under the Advanced dialog. When the ECOM100 is operating as a Modbus TCP/IP slave, this timeout value is used to delete Modbus connections that haven't been accessed within the defined time period.
    This feature requires matching firmware in the ECOM100 modules.
3.6c 25-Oct-2006
  • Changed the "Test CPU Access!" function so that it works like the CPU detection function in our DirectSOFT PLC Programming Software.
  • No longer display a "Conflict" (an asterisk in the 'C' column of the selected device) if DHCP addressing is enabled and the "underneath" IP address is 0.0.0.0.
3.6b 25-May-2005
  • Fixed problem that caused "Error 209 from DownloadBinFile".
  • Fixed problem that caused "Error 0" after upgrading firmware in H4-EBC, H4-ECOM or H2-ECOM.
  • Added more descriptive messages for Winsock errors.
3.6 12-Apr-2005
  • Added ability to adjust the timeout value for Modbus/TCP requests in the H2-ECOM100. If the ECOM100 is begin used as a Modbus/TCP master, this is the timeout value used by the ECOM100 when it processes the RX / WX instructions which are used to do the master / slave communication.
3.5a 1-Feb-2005
  • Fixed a problem that prevented NetEdit v3 from being able to upgrade a device that had a release 2.xx.yy boot loader.
3.5 14-Dec-2004
  • Added configuration support for the new H2-EBC100 and H2-ECOM100. This new version of NetEdit v3 is required to configure the new options available in the H2-EBC100 and the H2-ECOM100.
  • Fixed a problem with the firmware and booter loader upgrade process where an error during the upgrade wasn't detected, so it looked like the upgrade process worked when in fact it didn't.
3.4 12-Aug-2004
  • Added configuration support for the new T1H-EBC100. This new version of NetEdit is required to configure the new options available in the T1H-EBC100.
  • Added reporting of MODBUS/TCP I/O addressing in the Show Base Contents dialog
  • Added ability to display the hardware version information
3.2a 20-Feb-2004
  • Created installation file (SetupNE3.Exe) for NetEdit v3.
  • Increased the maximum number of devices that can be displayed from 100 to 500.
  • Fixed a bug where if the PLC containing an ERM was in the RUN mode, NetEdit would appear to make a change to ERM parameters, but they would not actually occur.
3.2 11-Feb-2004
  • Improved error reporting on failed attempts to write configuration data.
  • Added File->Export.
3.1 19-Jan-2004
