Dear RTCU User,
This early-summer edition of the Logic IO Newsletter includes
the following new releases:
- X32 Firmware V2.10 for the RTCU DX4 and RTCU MX2i Series.
- RTCU IDE V5.60
- RTCU CSP V1.30
- RTCU Programming Tool V6.30.
-
RTCU Communication Protocol
Documentation Set.
Support for FTP is a new major feature, that opens up for yet
another way of communicating and sharing information with the
RTCU products. Just like SMTP released earlier, FTP is a
standard protocol, that can be used without additional software
development on the server side, reducing the cost and allowing
rapid development of advanced M2M applications.
The first member of the RTCU AX9 Series is due for launch soon
and, therefore the RTCU IDE, CSP and the Programming Tool have
all been prepared for this exciting event!
Please read all the details below...
Best regards,
The Logic IO Team
Firmware V2.10 for the RTCU MX2i / DX4 Series
This is a major release of the X32-firmware with exciting news including
support for the File Transfer Protocol (FTP)!
There is also a new synchronous mode of operation, when using
the gwReceivePacket functionality allowing the application to
ignore/accept the received package ultimately giving more
control and a tighter coupling to the sender.
This release also introduces synchronous / asynchronous update
modes of the I/O Extension. The default asynchronous update mode
works automatically and will allow the application to stay fully
responsive on the on-board I/O, while the synchronous mode
offers manual update and more control using the new
ioSynchronize function.
The full list of news:
Enhancements:
- FTP Support. It is now possible to send/receive
files using the standard FTP protocol!
- Optimization
on the MODBUS communication yielding higher effective
bandwidth.
- New gsmSIMSetPin function to set the PIN-code
on the SIM card.
- Support for
buffered and unbuffered receive mode when using
gwReceivePacket.
- Support for synchronous and
asynchronous update mode when using the I/O Extension.
- Memory
vector increased from 1024 to 4096 elements.
- + other
minor enhancements.
Bug Fixes:
- Power
consumption too high on the RTCU DX4 Series when using
pmWaitEvent.
- Operating
with multiple CAN bus filters did not work in all cases.
- Debug / GPRS
log messages on the SD-CARD not correctly deleted
when spanning
from 2009 to 2010.
- The
Navigation / Fleet-management functions could not be used
with
both low/high priority jobs configured.
- +
other minor bug-fixes.
Most of the above features also requires the installation of
the new RTCU IDE 5.60.
