Known Issues

Description

DeviceHub:

  • If you use the Browse Tags function and try to add a duplicate tag, an error will be generated. Duplicate tags should be skipped when adding tags through Browse tags.
  • If a read-only tag is created for the Modbus TCP driver and a Flow is created to write data to that tag, the "WriteRegisters" API may be called. The "WriteRegisters" API shouldn't be called to read-only tags.
  • Tags can't be added to the OPC UA DeviceHub Agent driver.
  • If you add a mount point in Manufacturing Connect Edge and then add a device with the Euromap63 driver, "success=false" messages may be generated. 
  • The AB CompactLogix Ethernet Free Tag driver can't poll data up to 10 ms.
  • When you toggle a network to ON in Device Discovery, the WiFi icon may not display. 

System:

  • Manufacturing Connect Edge doesn't notify users if an activation request is rejected by Manufacturing Connect.
  • You are able to delete roles in System > Users if it has associated groups.
  • Users can delete the System API key, which should be read-only.
  • When using VirtualBox, a "Login incorrect" message may display on the Terminal User Interface during startup.
  • If an activation with Manufacturing Connect using a certificate signed by an unknown authority fails, attempting another activation will automatically fail.
  • The Backup/Restore feature may create a 3-byte file, which causes an error and disables auto-backup.
  • Software upgrade is not supported on VirtualBox 6.1.x; upgrade attempt may result in a corrupted, unrecoverable appliance.
  • Manufacturing Connect Edge docker images don't currently come with a trial license, so CA certificates can't be uploaded. 
    • Workaround: You can install CA Certificates through Manufacturing Connect, and Manufacturing Connect Edge will pick them up. 
  • If the device name is the same as the one that appears in the template, the template upload fails for the devices with the same configuration. 
    • Workaround: Edit the device name in the template file, so that it doesn't match the one in the system.
  • If a Manufacturing Connect Edge instance is deactivated, the status may not update correctly and won't show any status.
