New features in BCS Tools 3.34 include:

• Added minimum required firmware check routine for X2, BoX2 and PIO targets.
• Added new message box to notify user when a new version is available for download.
• Added rules to allow adding only PLC compatible devices.
• Added new command Create POUs from template.
• Added new PIO targets:
  • PIO GL-9973.
  • PIO GL-9974.
  • PIO GL-9975.
• Added new wizard features:
  • Combo box to categorize devices during project creation.
  • Fieldbus wizard configuration (protocol + slave + amount of slaves).
  • Added start and stop system events in project template.
• MODBUS symbol:
  • Fixed MODBUS Client/Server does not support ambiguous variables.
  • Fixed bug that integrated IO tags don’t work with Modbus.
  • Fixed exception in the PLC when changing the size of the array mapped in MODBUS.
• Project update:
  • New user interface.
  • Correct version displaying.
  • Removed Project Environment window.
  • Added LAN port name update for Ethernet and EtherCAT devices when upgrading projects created in previous versions to X2 HMIs.
  • Fixed behavior that caused the project to break when updating without saving first.
  • Fixed invalid version format error when updating X2 devices with Ethercat slaves.
• Reduced CPU power consumption when logged in.

Fixes and updates:

• Fixed window behavior not closing during code generation.
• Fixed wizard behavior not correctly displaying Ethernet interface choices.
• Fixed Modbus TCP Slave configuration tabs that were not displayed.
• Fixed exception when lost connection to the PLC.
• Fixed compilation error when using J1939 ECU device in projects with X2 modules.
• Fixed Gateway conflict message with other Gateways already installed.
• Fixed incorrect channel and description texts in integrated IO page.
• Fixed keyboard shortcuts S and N for Write and Force dialogs in Portuguese language.
• Fixed improper add of GVLs IoQualities and Modules_Diagnostic when opening project created on previous versions.
• Fixed issue that allows Maintask interval greater than 100 ms in projects with Machine Profile.
• Fixed missing .DLL that causes problems in Trace object of previous versions.
• Removed the ‘Enable retain and persistent variables in function blocks’ checkbox from CPU parameters page.
• Removed ‘Scan for Devices’ command for PROFIBUS devices.
• Removed software license update window during startup.
• Removed access to startup application settings.

BCS Tools in short:

• Development, debugging, configuration, simulation and commissioning in one software.
• Based on CODESYS 3.5 IEC 61131-3 programming with all editors (FBD, LD, IL, ST, SFC, CFC).
• Available in four versions - Lite, Basic, Professional and Advanced.

BCS Tools includes numerous user-friendly functions for the programming and configuration of automation projects and contains fully integrated back-end functions, such as compilers, debuggers and variable trace. Using BCS Tools, an application can be developed, tested and commissioned without any additional tools.

One software. Endless possibilities.
