What's New in Database Revision 904

The following is a list of major new features and fixes which have been added to revision 904 of the database:

*Added a new template, L590P-HP, under the FILE/NEW menu.  This template is for 590+ drives with motors rated 600A and above or 300A with extended field range.

*	Changed two settings in the L590P template:  tag 166, "Sel. Int/Cur/Spd", changed from 2 to 3 which makes "disabled" the default setting for 210 degree firing; tag 279, "Arm Endstop", changed from 12200 (156 degrees) to 12500 (160 degrees).

*Corrected an error in the form INDEX2_6.FRM which caused some page numbers to be incorrect in the index sheet.

*Recalled the recently released DeviceNet function blocks which include senders and scaling functionality.  The new blocks did not always initialize properly, causing the L5351 DeviceNet LinkCard to only sporadically go online with the DeviceNet master.  The blocks that exhibit this problem are the Dnet Bit Register (RA354685), Dnet Sint Register (RA354866), and Dnet Uint Register (RA354867).  If you are using these blocks and have this problem, update the project to classes level 904.  Then delete the Uint, Sint and Bit register blocks from the configuration and replace with blocks from the menu.  (The enhanced function blocks will be re-released at a later date, after the initialization problem is corrected.)

*Corrected a problem which could occur when using an externally powered Link2 Technology Box with a 690+ AC drive.  If the drive lost power and the Tech Box remained on, the Tech Box did not initialize properly when the drive powered up again.

*Corrected a problem which could cause an "L-Error, Out of Heap" trip on a LINK2 Technology Box used with a 590+ DC drive.  The symptom is that the CPU usage would go to 100%, followed by the L-Error trip.

*Corrected a problem in the L5353 Profibus LinkCard where, with some Profibus masters, the L5353 had to be powered up after the link had gone into the "operating" state.
