Enhancements These enhancements correspond to the iTRAK system firmware revision when used with the Logix Designer application. Table 1 - Enhancements with Revision 1.103 Enhancement Description Mover position fault code Added fault code 22 for incorrect mover positions. See Fault Code Description on page 2 for details. Temperature trending Added the ability to trend section temperature. ControlLogix® 5580 Series controllers Added support for the ControlLogix 5580 series of controllers. Power-on self-test Updated the power-on self-test fault check process. iTRAK system can now run without the presence of the USB-IO power control device. Added power-on self-test failure text. Power-on self-test is now disabled during the section firmware update. iTFlash build and version numbers Changed the iTFlash build deliverable names to include the version and build numbers. Position sensor temperature compensation Modified the position-sensor temperature-compensation algorithm to make smoother transitions, and introduced a temperature coefficient. 2 iTRAK System, Firmware Revision 1.103 Table 1 - Enhancements with Revision 1.103 (continued) Enhancement Description Specify number of movers Added the ability to specify the total number of movers on a system of tracks. iTFlash program reboot Updated the iTFlash programs to reboot the gateway automatically after updating the firmware, and to display information about the automatic reboot. Hybrid track improvements Increased the maximum number of available zones on a track from 2 to 8. Improved the hybrid-track parking-lot to allow parked movers to reenter at any position. Changed the assignment of mover numbers for movers reentering on a hybrid track to be based on the position of re-entry Eliminate Gateway auto-restart Eliminated the automatic restart of the gateway on initialization failure. Improve section trending information Improved the resolution and synchronization of trending information from the sections. Read firmware version from Gateway Added the ability to read versions of firmware in the motor control board from the Gateway. Gateway log retrieval Updated the Gateway Log Retrieval Tool. Section firmware update management Changed firmware management to download firmware automatically if the major revision, minor revision, or build number of the section firmware on the iTFlash are different, either newer or older, than the currently loaded section firmware. Section firmware change due to mover length is now one direct operation. Firmware version readability Added the ability for Logix to read the firmware major revision, minor revision, build number, and section type. External force compensation Added a feature where you create and download a force compensation table for the straight sections of the track. Maximum mover torque percentage Added the Maximum Mover Torque Percentage adjustment that lets you change the commanded torque/current from 0…125% of normal. Velocity loop period adjustment Added the Velocity Regulator Period adjustment that lets you change the standard period from 0…2000 ms in 250 ms increments. Per-section position error tolerance Added the iTRAK_SecPosErrorTolerance controller tag that lets you set the position error tolerance for each of the sections on the track individually. Per-mover gain selection Added a feature where you can create a separate set of gains for each of the movers on the system, gains for each mover individually on one or more sections, or you can create separate gain sets to specify up to 16 movers at once. Position Integrator and Integrator Hold Enable Added a feature where you can specify an integrator value for the Position loop. Integrator Hold Enable lets you apply an integrator hold on the position integrator. Standstill window Added the member CurveStandstillWindow to UDT_iTRAK_Data Table 2 - Fault Code Description Gateway Code Device Code Displayed Text Description and Solution 22 0 Mover positions do not match previously saved values, mover renumbering is required. The gateway was not shut down properly or movers were moved when the gateway was shut down. Before clearing this fault, the movers must be renumbered. Rockwell Automation Publication 2198T-RN001D-EN-P - April 2016 iTRAK System, Firmware Revision 1.103 3 Table 3 - Enhancements with Revision 1.100 Enhancement Description Gateway loop period modification Modified the calculations of the gateway's main loop period to support the I/O timing model of the new gateway industrial computer. Table 4 - Enhancements with Revision 1.099 Enhancement Description Dynamic gateway IP addresses Support dynamic configuration of gateway IP addresses with standalone utility. Table 5 - Enhancements with Revision 1.098 Enhancement Description Updated conventions Changed iTRAK sample Studio 5000 Logix Designer® application to use Rockwell Automation conventions. Non-standard IP address support and configuration Added support for iTFlash program to update Gateways with non-standard IP addresses. Added build-time configurable Gateway IP address. Added support for log retrieval from Gateways with non-standard IP addresses. (Lgx00155405) Gravity compensation Added support for gravity compensation with upright and rectangular tracks. Read motor module type Added support for reading motor module types from Logix Designer application Separated functions Separated handling of Flip Direction and Reverse Numbering tags. (Lgx00156304) Added support for the mover numbering offset and the zero position offset. (Lgx00155444) Reduced track noise Changed the current loop to reduce audible noise from track. Mover control Improved control of movers when stopped. Added support for build and version numbers Added support for major, minor version and build number for Gateway and motor modules, readable from Logix Designer application. Updated display of Gateway and motor-module version information in Gateway output to include build numbers. Rockwell Automation Publication 2198T-RN001D-EN-P - April 2016 4 iTRAK System, Firmware Revision 1.103 Corrected Anomalies These corrections correspond to the iTRAK system firmware revision when used with the Logix Designer application. Table 6 - Corrected Anomalies with Revision 1.103 Correction Description Section variable trending CORRECTED: Section variable trending feature does not work when sections contain a mixture of firmware versions. Wrong number of mover faults CORRECTED: Deadlock on wrong number of mover faults. Infinite restart CORRECTED: Infinite restart anomaly when downgrading firmware using iTFlash to version 1.100 from 1.101 or greater. Infinite loop period overrun CORRECTED: Position loop period keeps overrunning indefinitely after the first occurrence of an overrun. DcBusContactor incorrect behavior CORRECTED: The DCBusContactor does not behave correctly. Wrong number of movers saved CORRECTED: Regression: iTRAK with wrong number of movers saved in file no longer corrects. (Lgx00176661). I2T data loss CORRECTED: I2T fault information is not retained when the track is power cycled. Host Key setting CORRECTED: iTFlash doesn't allow the user to set a Host Key when needed. Section version loss CORRECTED: Section version information is unavailable after a restart of the gateway. Flash card corruption CORRECTED: Flash cards can get corrupted by power cycling. Less-accurate position reporting CORRECTED: Erroneous spikes in straight section calibration information cause less-accurate position reporting. Gain values per section CORRECTED: Position loop per-section gains use the last-specified value for all sections, instead of different values per section. Table 7 - Corrected Anomalies with Revision 1.099 Correction Description Application performance CORRECTED: Application performance with 1.098 could be less than with previous releases. Table 8 - Corrected Anomalies with Revision 1.098 Correction Description Control disturbances CORRECTED: Disturbances in position control can appear near ends of curve sections. iTFlash false report CORRECTED: iTFlash tool often reports success, but actually fails. Loading of wrong firmware CORRECTED: Incorrect firmware could get loaded on a curve section when mover size is changed from 150 mm to 100 mm.
