Changes introduced with V4.7.0 - INTERMEDIATE information for next upcoming version This is only visible for Hilscher employees, not for customers
This section shows changes introduced with firmware V4.7.0. General changes and remarks- if I&M5 functionality is enabled, the firmware no longer automatically adds the additional "OEM ID" block to DCP frames
- A new ParameterTypes of PNS_IF_SET_OEM_PARAMETERS_REQ was added to explicitly activate this block
- Profinet related IP frames are now sent with a VLAN tag to give these frames the priority recommended by Profinet specification
- IP frame generated by other instances (integrated webserver, Socket API) are not affected
- if feature SecurityClass 1 is enabled, the behavior regarding SNMP has changed (off by default) to match new revision of Profinet specification
- please check Protocol API Manual for more details regarding Profinet Security
- a dedicated technical datasheet document is delivered for each individual firmware stating the capabilities and limitations of the specific firmware
- Support of ReductionRatio which is not a power of 2 was removed and is no longer useable. This limits possible network update times.
- RAM based cifX hardware (e.g. CIFX 50-RE) is now able to store remanent data
- Support for SecondStage Bootloader V1.7.0 (and newer) was added
- This allows using a larger variety of serial flashes
- netX52 firmware no longer implements support for configuration via SYCON.NET database. Support was already dropped in V4.6.0.x but implementation still worked in some scenarios.
