DeviceHub:

  • New data types are now available for Omron NJ Ethernet (Gen1).
  • The following options are now available when connecting a device.
    • Publish on Polling Interval
      • Only available for Gen 2 drivers.
      • If this option is selected, the driver will always publish messages according to the polling interval configuration. If the driver has not completed the request to read the data at a polling interval, the payload will have a success=false message.
      • If this option is not selected, the driver will not publish a message at the polling interval if the request to read data has not completed.

      • This option is not available for all drivers. For example, drivers that act as servers don't have this option, such as Industrial OT Server and OSI Agent.
      • If this option is selected, the driver will be monitored based on the Watchdog period (in seconds) you configure. If an issue is detected, then the driver will restart.
  • The Browse Tags feature is now available for the Beckhoff TwinCAT3 Ethernet(Gen1) driver.
