Announcing Do-more Designer 2.10

[franji1]

Version 2.10 Do-more Designer is now available.

Version 2.10 contains the following new features.  View the Updates.pdf file for complete details about all the new features available for Do-more PLCs in 2.10.

• EtherNet/IP Implicit Scanner (BRX and Simulator only) for up to 32 EtherNet/IP Adapters, with EDS Import support to make Adapter configuration much easier. Map O->T T->O to Do-more memory blocks, or map them to Assembly Specific User Data Type structures based on the actual EDS field names and their primitive data types. Fill in Configuration parameters in table form containing parameter names and their drop down selections, bit flag options, and ranged numeric entry.
  
  
  Easily select any existing EtherNet/IP Adapter devices already on your control network using the Find EtherNet/IP Adapters dialog that tells the PLC to query its network for any existing Adapter devices. Just pick and choose any of the devices to add them to your Scanner.
  
  
  Monitor the status of your Scanner and all of its Adapters using the EtherNet/IP Scanner Monitor via the Debug menu.
  
  
  Maintain and re-use all of your EDS files across all of your Do-more Projects in the EDS Repository. Along with the set of EDS files initially installed with Designer, Third Party EDS files can be Imported into Do-more Designer's Repository from the various Configuration dialogs.
  
  
• New Instructions:
  
  • Expression Relational Contacts support full MATH-like expressions for both the Left and Right side of the Relational Contact, even utilize complex array index expressions like
    R[((V0 + 3) * 10) + V1].
    
    
    
  • MATH Function MROUND(number, multiple) rounds number expression up or down to the desired multiple expression.
    Example: MROUND(9.876, 0.1) rounds 9.876 to nearest multiple of 0.1 (result 9.9)
    
    
  • MATH Function FLOOR(number, significance) rounds number expression down (towards 0) to the nearest multiple of significance expression.
    Example: FLOOR(1.58, 0.1) rounds 1.58 down to multiple of 0.1 (result 1.5)
    
    
  • MATH Function CEILING(number, significance) rounds number expression up (away from 0) to the nearest multiple of significance expression.
    Example: CEILING(1.21, 0.1) rounds 1.21 up to multiple of 0.1 (result 1.3)
    
    

There are many more features added in Do-more 2.10 available across all Do-more PLCs (BRX, 205, Terminator, and Simulator).  For a complete list, see the most recent Updates.pdf file for more details.
