This update introduces new functionality for FBD programming, expanded visualization customization options, and improvements to variable management and project usability. ALP 3.0 also includes firmware updates for PR103, PR205, PR225, PR200, PR102, PR100, and SMI200 devices, bringing new features and communication improvements. In addition, multiple fixes have been implemented to improve stability, accuracy, and overall user experience. The detailed list of additions, updates, and fixes is provided below.
New
- A new data type, Arrays, has been added for the FBD language.
- Added the ability to configure the thickness and color of the focus frame.
- For the "Menu" element, a new toggleable property "In Focus by Default" has been added, which automatically sets focus on this element when the screen is opened.
- Added a "Loading screen" feature, allowing users to change the image displayed on second-generation devices when they are powered on.
- In the variable table, the "Show nested variables" setting now affects the variable count displayed in the catalog.
- ALP now saves and transfers the structure of network variable catalogs, which is used by ToolPro when building the parameter tree.
Updates
- The devices PR110, PR114, and PR-KIT have been removed from the list of supported devices.
