...
- IRT support was added to all 2-port firmware
In order to use IRT for a product the corresponding IRT-related entries need to be added to GSDML file.
Note: Adding IRT support as new feature to a product requires creating a new DeviceAccessPoint in GSDML file. Application needs to be adapted to the new DAP module and submodule identifiers. A new PROFINET certification is required as well
IRT functionality is enabled by default in all 2-port firmware.
In order to deactivate IRT support in the firmware in firmware version V4.2.0.0 the tag list needs to be modified.
USB Marshaller support was added
only 32 submodules can be used (older firmware supported up to 64)
support for IO Supervisor AR was removed
behavior of DPM field “ulCommunicationState” changed completely
