WinControl Change History

WinControl Change History

Version 3.12 – 30 January 2008

  1. Updated: Support for a second GS card in 48 sized tubs for Automation (LW) only panels.

  2. Fixed: Program transfers were unable to perform an optimized transfer following a program transfer to a specific panel.

  3. Fixed: LI panel programming issue with an ID equal to 999. This issue affected both GS Input as well as Dataline Switch programming.

  4. Fixed: Using the Learn feature in WinControl Graphics often caused crashes in WinControl while GroupDevice updates were taking place.

  5. Fixed: Relay behavior settings were not displayed correctly for legacy (CC) panels. This affected both the relay grid and the relay properties page.

  6. Fixed: Dataline power supplies were automatically selected for non-Complete Control systems. Now only Complete Control systems with more than one panel will have a dataline power supply automatically installed in the first available and supported panel.

  7. Updated: Peanut (LP) panels now support up to 8 GS inputs. Formally, these panels were limited to 4 inputs.

Version 3.11 – 31 October 2007

  1. Update: This version (or later) of WinControl MUST be used with LI-CC firmware version 19 or higher. This update may effect occupancy sensor and ARP behavior.

  2. Fixed: New panels, by default, support Automatic Relay Packs (ARPs). Once the firmware version is discovered to be an older, unsupported version then the ARP checkbox is disabled. If ARP support was enabled prior to discovering an older firmware version then the ARP checkbox text becomes RED indicating an invalid setting. Clearing it will reset ARP relays to SPACE.

  3. Fixed: Spurious error message when using Firefox to view reports. The error message has been removed. Firefox can take longer than expected to launch depending on plugins installed.

  4. Fixed: The older wiring schedule card report for legacy panels was no longer working. This report has been fixed.

Version 3.10 – 21 September 2007

  1. New: support for Automatic Relay Packs (ARPs) has been added to WinControl. Support includes control, status and documentation plus a new report. See the updated documentation for more information on ARP support, including programming restrictions.

  2. New: relay panel documentation report for panel door sleeve. Best to print in landscape mode.

  3. Improved: better support for multi-system site files. A default system is selected at startup but, when needed, a prompt is provided to select the current system.

  4. Improved: Astro schedules are now disabled if location and time zone are not set.

  5. New: panel and card ROM versions are now persisted and displayed on the panel documentation property page.

  6. Updated: The device selection dialog box that normally comes up when running reports and other operations now automatically selects and performs the operation on the device if it is the only one device is in the list.

  7. Fixed: Panel coping with Dataline switches did not correctly copy panel IDs if the parent panel matched the programmed panel ID for a button. For CC, the panel ID is always the parent ID and they are now always reset to the new panel ID.

  8. Fixed: BACnet documentation support has been added for RTR32 type panels.

  9. Updated: The system summary report has been updated to support more system wide information.

  10. Updated: report engine code has been updated to be more reliable for HTML based reports.

  11. Fixed: now correctly hiding analog input status while running in Designer.

Version 3.02 – 10 April 2007

  1. Updated: Due to network security issues, temporary files are now saved in the site folder of the LI file.

  2. Added: "System Options" to the "Initialize" menu

  3. Added: WinControl file association is now automatically enabled during installation.

  4. Updated Documentation:

    • BACnet - added documentation support for BACnet with WebLink

    • Security - new section on security in Windows

    • Glossary - list of common Watt Stopper/Legrand lighting control terms and meanings

  5. Fixed: Variable Override Duration (VOD) programming bug corrected. Requires program transfer for VOD to be set correctly.

  6. Updated: Panel copy now asks if Dataline Switch neuron IDs should also be copied (usually only needed when renumbering panels).

  7. Fixed: The "Sync Clock" button was not correctly enabled when direct connected to a panel. This has been fixed.

  8. Updated: Internal MSXML files are now using the latest DLLs from Microsoft. This was causing a Windows Update message after installing WinControl.

  9. Updated: WinControl connection procedure now waits for CTS to go high before attempting to connect via serial port to panels or links.

  10. Fixed: WinControl Graphics running under Windows Vista had a bug that caused the device ID to fail.

Version 3.01 – 2 March 2007

  1. Updated: Documentation for both WinControl and Designer including more context sensitive help from some new property pages.

  2. New: Set State option for System, Panel and Relay to control large groups of relays to a specified state.

  3. New: Set Mode option for System, Panel and Relay to quickly set and clear various modes such as schedule occupancy and shed. Can also clear runtime data and activity logs.

  4. Updated: Dataline Monitor now has some quick dataline request options at the bottom of the page. Choose the panel and request type and hit 'Request'. The data will be decoded in the dataline monitor list.

  5. Fixed: Analog Input programming had some bugs with 'Advanced' and with using the correct default values.

Version 3.00 – 5 February 2007

  1. Added: Support for Photocells and Analog Inputs for LI-CC panels including up to 32 setpoints per panel and several Photocell predefined

  2. Added: Support for BACnet configuration for WebLink 2.0 including default BACnet IDs and MAC addresses for supported devices. To enable BACnet support for LI-CC, open the WinControl Helper and select "Specify System Options". The BACnet page can be accessed by right clicking on the system device and selecting "BACnet".

  3. Added: New support for Occupancy Sensor behavior for LI-CC relays. Options include Auto On/Off, On Only, Off Only and Disabled for both normal hours (scheduled) and after hours.

  4. Fixed: Several bugs testing with Microsoft Windows Vista Business Edition have been fixed. Testing will continue with Vista Business and XP Professional SP2.

  5. Fixed: Running as restricted user has been improved. Administrative account only required for installation and licensing.

  6. Fixed: Daylight Saving Time wasn't showing the correct dates for 2007 on the System property page. It did use the correct dates when programming, however.

  7. Updated: System summary report to include analog input documentation and programming

  8. Updated: New Site Wizard hitting 'Finish' now takes user to last wizard page instead of immediately to the 'Job Info and Contacts' page.

  9. Updated: Added new 'custom' reports to better support paging. To access these new reports, select 'Other' from the report menu and look for files with "Paged" in the name.

  10. Updated: Advanced relay page for LI-CC relays now performs better and offers easier commands to control relays and set their mode

  11. Updated: Dataline monitor now offers quick panel data requests

  12. Updated: Panel test report shows more device information for failed relays and occupancy sensors detected sections

  13. Updated: Graphics now correctly accepts the improved license system

  14. Still some lingering issues with Windows Vista that are yet to be resolved
