General Section 2 Functionality Changes
• Compatibility
It is only possible to migrate between 800xA and Compact Control Builder
AC 800M within the same version, that is it is not possible to migrate from
Compact Control Builder 4.1 to 800xA 5.0 and vice versa.
If a user want to migrate from Compact Control Builder 4.1 to 800xA 5.0, the
user must first upgrade the Compact Control Builder 4.1 project to Compact
Control Builder AC 800M 5.0, and then migrate to 800xA. The same applies if
a user want to migrate from, for example 800xA 4.0 to Compact Control
Builder AC 800M 5.0. In that case the whole system must be upgraded to
800xA 5.0, before a migration to Compact Control Builder AC 800M 5.0 can
be performed.
It is not possible to open an older Compact Control Builder project in the
current version of Compact Control Builder. The project must be upgraded
before it is possible to open the project. The Control Builder checks the build
version in the source code before opening any project.
• General constraints
It is possible to move a control project to 800xA only once.
It is not possible to migrate from 800xA to Compact Control Builder AC 800M
if the project contains AC 800M HI controllers, because it is not possible to use
HI controllers in the Compact Control Builder.
It is not possible to migrate projects, containing more than one version of a user
library, from 800xA to Compact Control Builder, because only one version of a
user library is supported in Compact Control Builder.
• Migration from 800xA to Compact Control Builder AC 800M
When migrating from 800xA to Compact Control Builder, it is only possible to
migrate complete projects. Migration of single libraries, applications,
controllers or types is not supported. If the user wants to migrate smaller
objects than complete projects, the user has to package them within a small or
empty project.
The migrated project are placed in the selected folder, together with all
applications and controllers within the project. All libraries (both POU and
hardware) that are user-defined are also placed in this directory.

Section 2 Functionality Changes Engineering Environment
Engineering Environment
Library Handling
• Hardware libraries
Hardware libraries replace the built-in hardware types that were loaded into the
previous Control Builder version at startup. A hardware library contains
definitions, protocol handlers and firmware for one or several hardware units.
From a user point of view, the hardware libraries are similar to POU libraries
(create, version handling, state, password protection, source code handling
etc.). User-defined hardware definitions (output from Device Import Wizard)
are also stored in hardware libraries. The hardware libraries are structured after
a group of hardware, for example S800CI840CI854HwLib, that contains S800
units that can be used together with a CI840 and a CI854. A complete list of
Hardware libraries delivered with the Control Builder can be found in Libraries
on page 15. An upgrade of a project from a previous version, containing third
party hardware definition files, automatically creates a new hardware library,
and all the hardware definition files are placed as objects in this library. The
3BSE033044D5001 21
Engineering Environment Section 2 Functionality Changes
user can then reorganize the hardware objects by creating own libraries and
move the objects to the new libraries.
The benefit with hardware libraries is that it is possible to have more than one
version of a hardware definition in a project.

Section 2 Functionality Changes Control and I/O
Task Handling
In this release, there are a number of improvements in the user interfaces, regarding
presentation of information from the tasks running in the Controller. Some new
functionality in the tasks has also been added, like default values of offset on the
tasks Normal and Slow when creating a new project. A system alarm is also
implemented, to give a warning when the task is close to get latency.
• Compiler warnings for non-optimal task settings
If task settings result in that two tasks are scheduled to start at the same time, a
warning is displayed during compilation.
Warning 9155 : Controller_1:HW Task Normal and Fast may
have colliding start times.

The layout in the Task Properties dialog has been modified and the following
information has been added since version 4.1.
Task values:
– Offset

Actual
Max
– Latency alarm limit
– First scan execution time (ms)
System values:
– Total load (in the controller)
– Application stop time

Control and I/O Section 2 Functionality Changes
The following information has been added in the Task Overview window since
version 4.1.
The accepted latency is presented in milliseconds. In version 4.1 it was in percent
(%).
– Max Interval Time
– Max Execution Time
– Offset
– Actual Offset
– Max Offset
– Accepted Latency
– Max Latency
– Latency Alarm Limit
– First Execution Time
• Default offset setting on tasks when creating new project
When you create a new Control Builder project in version 5.0, you will
automatically get a suggested offset on the Normal and Slow tasks. This new
functionality decreases the risk of getting latency in the tasks and will provide a
smoother execution in the controller.
• System alarm when close to latency in task
A system alarm will be generated when a task is approaching its maximum
latency limit (70% of accepted latency).
• Optimizing load balancing
If a controller was heavily loaded and load balancing was activated it could
take up to 30 seconds before a task with lower priority was scheduled to
execute. This is now changed to a few seconds.

Defined SrcName
If an Alarm/Event function block/control
module was called without the parameter
SrcName specified, that is SrcName was
not connected or was configured with an
empty string, this could result in a very long
first scan execution time. In some situations
this could cause task abortions.
Controller Shutdown when Added This problem has been corrected.

If an new application was added to a
controller and connected to a task, that
already existed in the controller, the
controller was shut down during the
download of the new application.

The Control Module types Vote1oo1Q,

Control Builder did not Release Files This problem has been corrected.
The Control Builder did not release the files
on the hard drive for a project when it was
closed. It was thus not possible to use
Windows explorer to access the files from a
closed project, without first exiting Control
Builder.
The same problem concerned the project
backup function; the generated project
backup files were not released until Control
Builder was closed.
Check in Access Variable Editor did not This problem has been corrected.
Work
No check was made in the Access variable
editor if the Check button/menu option was
used.
Task Changes Affected Wrong Task This problem has been corrected.
This issue occurred during the following
circumstances:
• The priority or interval time of a task
was changed in online mode, in such a
way that the task should got a new
position in the task tree, as if the
change would have been done in
offline mode.
• If the user then went offline with the
Control Builder and online again
(without download).
If, for instance, the interval time now was
changed for one task another task was
affected.

The issue where a controller shutdown occurred during the download of a new application to a pre-existing task has been resolved. This was significant because it could interrupt operations and data handling, posing reliability risks in environments dependent on continuous control processes .
The issue causing the Control Builder to shut down when attempting to modify a simulated I/O module accessed via the 'Search & Navigation' tool has been corrected. This fix enhances software stability and reliability during interface navigation and editing tasks .
To prevent the loss of RNRP settings after a firmware upgrade, it is necessary to ensure that a PC with the Control Builder is connected to the same network area as the controller. Afterward, a project with the correct RNRP (and possibly PPP) settings must be downloaded to the controller . This procedure is crucial because the controller may lose these settings during a firmware upgrade, which can result in loss of communication from the Control Builder if the controller is in another network area . Furthermore, if RNRP configurations are specific and the Control Builder and the controller are in different network areas, settings can also be lost after a power failure if the battery is removed or low . Ensuring settings are correctly redeployed prevents communication disruptions and maintains network configuration stability .
Graphical connections in the Control Module Diagram lost their nodes during certain editing processes, resulting in misplacements. This was resolved by reinforcing the link integrity and spatial consistency to ensure reliable representation and use of graphical elements .
Incorrect hardware definitions for the AO930 module led to controller shutdowns because of issues with the Device Import Wizard while handling third party hardware definition files. When a project upgrade occurred, the creation of new hardware libraries added incorrect hardware objects that were not compatible with the controller, leading to system errors or shutdowns if these libraries were used without proper configuration validation . To resolve this, a new workflow was introduced where users can reorganize hardware objects by creating libraries and ensure configuration changes do not cause system failures by performing hardware tree changes and parameter changes at separate download instances . Additionally, firmware adjustments were made to avoid reliance on built-in hardware types, allowing downloads of necessary protocol handlers instead .
The 'No System Identity' issue in Control Builder was addressed by correcting the problem where the system would sometimes lose its SystemID after a restart. This led to an inability to communicate with any controller, as the IP address would disappear from the "About Control Builder" box. Resolving this issue was important because it ensured reliable communication and functionality across the system in Control Builder, preventing operational disruptions . Additionally, maintaining SystemID is crucial for identifying and managing components within the control system accurately, which is key for stability and diagnostics .
The problem identified with the representation of I/O Module status in redundant setups was that after a HotSwap of CI854, the status indication for some I/O modules incorrectly showed 'Device not found' despite being in correct working order. This issue was particularly evident in configurations with a large amount of configured slaves. The problem has been corrected by ensuring the status indication reflects accurate device status post-HotSwap . Additionally, a related problem in redundant settings was that the PROFIBUS Slave CI840 did not report which I/O Module was acting as Primary or Backup, affecting the expected ramp-up behavior during a switch-over. This issue was noted as unresolved, indicating ongoing representation issues in certain scenarios .
Changing the 'Scan interval' parameter in the S100 I/O board led to an inconsistency problem in the multi-byte speed measuring counter, which caused disturbances appearing with a few seconds interval. The issue was corrected with the update, removing the disturbance from the S100 board . Alternatively, for scanning issues related to DSDI 110, using scanning instead of interrupt-based updating was suggested, with the possibility of restarting by hot removing and reinserting CI856 .
Renaming an FBD/LD code block could corrupt another code block if the new name began identically to another block’s name (e.g., renaming 'Test_2' to 'Test'). This problem has been addressed and corrected to prevent such corruption from occurring .
The long first scan execution time was caused by Alarm/Event function blocks or control modules being called without specifying the 'SrcName' parameter. If 'SrcName' was left unconnected or configured with an empty string, it resulted in extended execution times for the first scan and in some cases, could lead to task abortions . This issue was mitigated by correcting the problem, ensuring that the 'SrcName' parameter is properly defined or connected, thus preventing delays and potential task abortions during the initial scan process .
