Firmware Release: 14.5s0

The release of the Ewon firmware 14.5s0 is now official! We also published a new online help platform to describe the web interface of your Ewon device.

We have released a new version of the Ewon firmware: 14.5s0.

The major improvements of this release are the following ones:

  • ADDED [ALL] GUI: Responsive mode for smartphone.

When displaying the Ewon GUI on your smartphone, you now have a much better user experience.
Dedicated responsive webpages are now displayed for the Summary, Tags Values (in View Mode), Alarm Summary, Alarm Historical and Diagnostic pages. Change a tag's value and display the graph is also possible (by swiping left).

We have released a how-to video that covers this new appearance: https://vimeo.com/582486228/1ed3ab958f

  • ADDED [FLEXY] BASIC: String Tags support for LOGGROUPIO/LOGIO functions.

It is now possible to use those functions to store string tags. This allows a better control when to record a string tag.

  • ADDED [FLEXY] MQTT: Last will & testament parameters added (WILLTOPIC, WILLPAYLOAD parameters added).

In MQTT the "Last Will & Testament" feature is used to notify other clients about an ungracefully disconnected client. Each client can specify its last will message when it connects to a broker. An ungraceful disconnect can occur in case of (for example) Internet connection instability, restart of the Ewon device due to power loss, ...

ADDED [FLEXY] MODBUS: Advanced Option to write single values using function 06.

CHANGED[FLEXY] BASIC: Hide cyclic section when no script is present.

The cyclic section is no longer displayed on the Ewon GUI interface. Many clients used the cyclic section in a wrong way which, depending on the script used, could have a negative impact on the overall Ewon behavior. For most of the typical basic script use cases, you should not consider the cyclic section. More info, refer to: SSH-0298-00

The major fixes are the following ones:

FIXED [FLEXY] SECURITY: UpdateTagForm webform was usable by user having "ViewIO" access right only.

FIXED [ALL] T2M: Bidi connection issues cause extra Talk2M traffic (3 Retries every 3 sec, minute, hours).

To see the whole list of improvements, please refer to the release notes.

 

You can download this firmware version through eBuddy or through the manual download.
