Publication 1757-IN500A-EN-P - September 2002
9-4 New Functions and Features
Plant Data Model Enhancements
This release of ProcessLogix has been enhanced to support 40 character Point
ID's (standard points only, i.e. analog, status, accumulator). Point descriptor
and area codes have been lengthened to support 132 and 40 characters
respectively. Users using the ProcessLogix ODBC Driver for reports or
applications should investigate the effect of this change on their reports or
applications.
Integrated Windows 2000 Security for ProcessLogix Operators
Operator security has been enhanced to optionally allow the use of Windows
user accounts for ProcessLogix operators. Integrated Windows 2000 security
allows single sign on to Windows and the ProcessLogix Operator station.
Traditional ProcessLogix operator accounts are supported for backwards
compatibility. In ProcessLogix R500.1, the ODBC Driver does not support
Integrated Security accounts, only traditional accounts.
Updated OPC Support
OPC Alarm and Event Server
The ProcessLogix OPC Alarm and Event Server allows an OPC alarm and
event client to receive alarm and event information from ProcessLogix. It is
compliant with the OPC Version 1.0 Foundation Alarm Event Specification.
Updated System Displays
The ProcessLogix System Displays have been enhanced to support screen
resolutions of 1280x1024.
Updated Application Development
Service Pack 5 for Microsoft Visual Studio v6.0 has been qualified for use with
ProcessLogix. This qualification includes Microsoft Visual C/C++ v6.0 and
Microsoft Visual Basic v6.0.
