S7TCP driver and others : No red square on variables if the hardware communication is not established.

S7TCP driver and others : No red square on variables if the hardware communication is not established.

Description

If the S7TCP driver cannot establish communication with the hardware, the red square that is supposed to indicate this is not displayed in the Service Engine. The status display is also empty. This occurs in zenon 12 with build versions higher than 180966.

This error has been fixed. Interrupted communication is signaled correctly again and provided with the correct status.

To benefit from this fix:

  • Update your zenon Software Platform to the latest build of zenon 12 or higher.
