With Tool Kit 5.0.101 some features in the RTU will be changed. This document defines what those changes are and how to address them.

Change System Information Virtual Module

  1. Update the ‘System Information Virtual Module.’ Only do this step if the previous configuration had the ‘System Information Virtual Module.’ Go to I/O Module and double-click on the ‘System Information Virtual Module,’ add two to the analog input registers and one to the Discrete output channels.

  2. Go to the ‘Address Map’ button to check for overlapping registers. Adjust the registers to remove the overlapping. If addresses were changed you may have to re-export the tags to ISaGRAf and recompile the program.

ISaGRAF and Red Lion Workbench

  1. At the time this document was written the only RTU that supports Red Lion Workbench is the ST-IPm-8460. Some RTUs have the ISaGRAF and Red Lion Workbench radio buttons on the advanced tab, but they do not actually do anything. The selected radio button will have no effect on the RTU. The products referenced in this document will always use an ISaGRAF Runtime.
