no status bits and timestamp available for writing access for all intern driver variables
Summary
From the Build versions 7.20 Build 38805; 7.50 Build >38795; 7.60 Build >38809 on we added a new option which will affect the Tag counting for internal driver variables. This setting is project wide and can be found in the project.ini or in version 8 as a project setting.
setting disabled: internal variables are still free of use but there are no status bits and timestamp available for writing access for all intern driver variables of the project (default value)
setting enabled: internal variables will support status bits and timestamp handling, but then they are considered as normal IO variables and will be included in the zenon Licence
in some projects this might cause problems with the licenses installed after the update

Information
To enable the timestamp and status handling for intern driver variables for versions 7.20 up to 7.60 it is mandatory to enter a line in the project.ini file.
In the section:
[RT]
INTERNALDRIVERWITHSTATUS=1
with this entry the status and timestamp handling for internal drivers is enabled.
The intern variables are then also counted as tags for licensing.
For version 8.0 and higher a property can be found in the editor to enable this functionality.
