New Features for Firmware Version 002.003.000

Security improvements in EcoStruxure Panel Server:

• Security patch

Addition of support for a Modbus serial device associated with multiple meters. The meters must share the same Unit ID and must be added using custom models. For example, the Rayleigh multi-circuit meter can be configured as:

• Either 2 three-phase circuits, using 2 dedicated custom models

• Or 6 single-phase circuits, using 6 dedicated custom models

The 2 or 6 circuits are added manually to the Panel Server as Modbus devices at Settings > Modbus devices > Modbus TCP/IP > Manual addition, using a specific custom model for each circuit. The 2 or 6 devices must share the same:

• Unit ID

• IP address

• Port

Introduced logic code INT64ToFloat32 to convert INT64 values to Float32 values.

The following obsolete Modbus built-in device models are no longer supported:

• apas

• bpas

• bcpm a

• bcpm b

• bcpm c

• masterpact_nt_nw_a (MasterPacT NT/NW with MicroLogic A connected directly to BCM ULP serial line without IFE/IFM interface)

• masterpact_nt_nw_e (MasterPacT NT/NW with MicroLogic E connected directly to BCM ULP serial line without IFE/IFM interface)

• masterpact_nt_nw_h (MasterPacT NT/NW with MicroLogic H connected directly to BCM ULP serial line without IFE/IFM interface)

• masterpact_nt_nw_p (MasterPacT NT/NW with MicroLogic P connected directly to BCM ULP serial line without IFE/IFM interface)

Devices associated with these obsolete models are henceforth listed as unknown devices. Historized alarms are retained.

If you use these device models, export associated data before updating the Panel Server firmware. After the firmware update, remove the unknown devices and add them manually by creating a custom device model, or by using an existing built-in model. Refer to the list of supported circuit breakers and associated trip units.

The following measurements associated with MasterPacT MTZ devices no longer supported:

• Circuit breaker total durability

• Circuit breaker service life loaded wear ratio

• Number of operations with load > 0

• Circuit breaker service life wear ratio (with and without load)

Management of measurements from MasterPacT MTZ circuit breakers connected through IFE, EIFE or IFM interfaces. Update the interface to the latest supported version to ensure correct display of data:

• For IFE and EIFE interfaces, update the interface to firmware version 003.009.010 or later

• For IFM interfaces, update the interface to firmware version 003.001.010 or later

Additional Modbus settings are available for Modbus registers via Modbus address 255. The following parameters can be consulted:

• Modbus TCP/IP server settings:

  • Message timeout Modbus TCP/IP server)

• Modbus TCP/IP client settings:

  • Timeout of Modbus TCP/IP client

  • Message timeout of Modbus TCP/IP client request

• Modbus SL settings for downstream communication:

  • Silent interval after Modbus SL packet end

  • Delay between Modbus SL packets

  • Connect/Disconnect the RS485 termination resistor

  • Transmission line state

• Modbus SL client settings

  • Message timeout of Modbus SL request

For Panel Server embedded digital inputs configured as Pulse counter, Water volume and Gas volume can be displayed and published with Float32 Modbus registers to improve precision to three decimal places. Existing INT64 Modbus registers are also available. For more information, refer to DOCA0241EN EcoStruxure Panel Server - Modbus File.
