/****************************************/ /* EZ Data Logger */ /* since 2006/06/02 */ /****************************************/ ================================================================================ Version:4.5.0[2011/11/11] New Support: 1.You can log the data to remote SQL Server. 2.Support the 87K modules on XP-8000, XP-8000-Atom. You can run EZ Data Logger on XP-8000 and XP-8000-Atom. You can add a DCON Driver with COM 1, then add the 87K modules to run. Version:4.3.3[2010/07/28] Modify: 1.Add trend width setting. 2.The older version does not update the layout control if the layout is not visable. This version always update the layout. It's helpful for a audio taggle (DI signal to trigger speech sound.) Bug Fix 1.Program maybe crash during Modbus TCP connection retry process. New Modbus TCP connection retry process will stop if the device is not on line, and check the device alive every 10 sampling time. 2.If program start running, and device is not ready, the process will continue to verify the ICPDAS Modbus device to avtive Modbus driver. Version:4.3.1[2010/04/02] New Support: 1.Support M2M RTU Driver. http://m2m.icpdas.com/g-4500_rtu.html New Function: 1.Popup window to set AO/DO on layout display. Version:4.2.4 New Function: 1.You can set each gauge's scale max and min value in "Gauge" Display. The scale will be the single gauge setting. If the single gauge scale are not set, they will be the common setting of "AI Max", "AI Min". If the AI channel's alarm value is over scale range, alarm value will be the scale limit. Bug fix 1.Fix i-7016 DO setting timeout Version:4.2.3 [2009/11/20] by Mac New Support 1.Three levels user account management Admin: Start/Stop projects: allowed Set AO/DO values: allowed Modify the project: allowed Account management: allowed Power User: Start/Stop projects: allowed Set AO/DO values: allowed Modify the project: not allowed Account management: not allowed User: Start/Stop projects: not allowed Set AO/DO values: not allowed Modify the project: not allowed Account management: not allowed Switching group pages allowed only 2.DDNS for Modbus/TCP devices. The destanation of Modbus/TCP devices can be IP address (192.168.255.1) or domain name (modbus_device.ICPDAS.com) When DDNS server changes the IP address of the Modbus/TCP device, EZ Data Logger will clear the DNS cache, and resolve the updated IP address after 5 times timeout. Application: (EZ Data Logger) <==Ethernet=> ....(ADSL modem)==(Ethernet Router)==Modbus/TCP device(1...n) The Ethernet router must support DDNS, DNZ to implement the topology. 3.SMTP server authentication for e-mails in the contact list. 4.Time delay between polling Modbus/RTU devices. 5.Play an audio alarm when device off line. 6.Syntax to clear counters in control logic (for DCON device). For example: 'Virtual Channel VC0 = VC0 + 1 'Reset counter0 every 100 cycle. If VC0 = 100 Then Counter0 = -1 'Clear counter0 VC0 = 0 End If Modify 1.Maximum group number modified from 16 to 32. 2.Pupop message before clearing a counter. Bug Fix 1.Wrong description in Modbus Device surface 4XXXX Input Register(AI) should be 3XXXX Input Register(AI) 3XXXX Holding Register(AO) should be 4XXXX Holding Register(AO) 2.The frequency display value did not multiply by gain properly. 3.The Modbus/TCP Port was not set properly. 4.The searched DCON device address were not set properly if the address >10. 5.The Control Logic didn't correctly set tag values of Modbus/RTU device. ================================================================================ Version:4.1.0 [2008/08/15] by Mac New device supported DI/DO function of PDS-700 series. Since version 4.1.0, a license key is required. There are two kinds of license keys. 1.Basic Edition License Key: A basic edition license key is required to unlock the 2 hours execution time limitation. The basic edition is free. You have to enter some personal data(Company, Name, Country, Email) to get a key from our registration web page. 2.Professional Edition License Key: You must pay for the license of the software. Once you purchase the software, you will get a product serial number. Then you have to link to the registration web page and enter a. product serial number b. PC ID code to get a license key. To get the PC ID Code the EZ Data Logger has to be installed on your PC. Click on the "About" button of the EZ Data Logger program main tool bar to display the PC ID Code. Each product serial number allows you to register up to 3 PCs.

It was minimum sized at the system tray. The SMS & Mail Sender will send alarm messages by E-mail or SMS when AI value a. over high alarm b. under low alarm c. back to normal The alarm messages are also logged to the database. When opening the database, you can see the alarm messages. 2.IP Camera Viewer: User can add an IP camera's web address, and then add it to group. Then the layout display will show the web page in a sub window. New driver supported 1. Mail Notifier Driver You can set it's SMTP server and give a head text. This driver works for E-mail sending. No other devices need to be added. 2. GSM Modem Driver You can add a GSM modem device and give a head text. This driver works for SMS sending. The GSM modem must support PDU mode, that is to say, AT command "AT+CMGF=0" can work on it. New device supported 1. Contact list Contact list is used for defining mail address of mail notification and cell phone number of SMS notification. 2. IP Camera You can add IP camera's web address directly in the Web Camera List. It was shown by an IE sub window in layout display. Bug Fix: The modbus outputs do not work correctly in Control Logic.

User can operate the data into the visual channel by channel tag names easily. For example: VC1 = (AI_1 + AI_2) / 2 Support Control Logic. User can edit the script to set the output values or to caculate data into visual channels. You can get/set the channel values by channel tag names. For example : If AI0 > 50 Then DO0=1 Support 7 kinds of layout object. Include : Text Box, Angular Gauge, Linear Gauge, Percent, Number LED, Toggle, Odometer. And you can choose styles. ================================================================================ Version:2.0.9 [2007/07/31] by Mac Support I-7000 series modules that with only one analog input channel: I-7011, I-7012, I-7013, I-7014. Support "Wire Opening Detection" for AI modules with DCON protocol : Some DCON analog input modules (for Thermocouple, Thermistor, and RTD input) support "Wire Open Detection", such as I-7005, I-7018BL, I-7018R, I-7018Z, I-7019R, I-7013, I-7033, I-7015, I-87013, I-87018, I-87018Z.
