1) Fix the crash problem of the software;

2) Renew the wiring diagram and pin definition diagram;

3) After the address is annotated, still able to communicate in Lua script;

4) Ethernet download optimization;

5) The project folder contains special language characters(except Chinese and English), errors in compiling Lua file and project, failed to download the project;

6) Use some fonts will cause software crash when compiling the project;

HMI Application

1) Occasionally occur stuck logo problem after enable the Index of Recipe function;

2) Frequently screen switching might have a little chance cause stuck problem if there exist many table objects on the screen;

3) There is a little chance cause the stuck problem if use the script;

4) The stuck problem if use User permission;

5) The stuck problem when Data record upload;

6) There is a little chance to jump to the test interface after restart;

7) After the backlight is off, there is a small chance that the screen will display abnormal;

8) Video play cause stuck problem of General series 9150;

9) When the HMI just turned on, Recipe Display on the main screen is displayed as NULL;

10) Optimize Lua built-in library and file read/write functions;

11) The label of the operation value in the Operation record is displayed abnormal;

12) The length of channel name for Data record exceeds 32 bytes, will cause failed recording;

13) After entering the installment password, restart immediately, would require entering the password again;

Driver Protocol

1) Frequently screen switching and there are many external addresses on the screen, which might have a little chance cause a stuck problem;  

2) Ethernet free tags may cause touch problem with no response;

3) Ethernet free tags occur error in compiling the project;

4) The input/output terminals of communication with MIKOM PLC are abnormal;

5) The reading information from scanner will not display if it exceeds 128 characters;

6) Failed to communicate with the OMRON NX/NJ PLC communication after power-on the screen and then power on the PLC.

7) When HMI+ is just turned on, the Ethernet communication prompts timeout;

8) When communicate with Siemens new protocol, will let the HMI stuck on LOGO screen;
