Process Recorder: Time Control active in simulation and in playback mode

Process Recorder: Time Control active in simulation and in playback mode

Summary

Time control is disabled when process recorder is in simulation or playback mode

Description

In the process recorder, the configured time control functions remained active even after switching to simulation or playback mode. Configured actions for timer control were executed in local PC time regardless of the playback mode.

It is expected that the time control is deactivated both in simulation mode and in playback mode of the process recorder.

This behavior has been modified. If the system driver variable [process recorder]/recorder mode has the value 2, 3 or 4, time control is deactivated. This means that time control is completely inactive as soon as the Service Engine is running in simulate mode or playback mode.

To benefit from this fix:

  • Update your zenon Software Platform to the latest build of zenon 14 or higher.
