4 Important Product Information Page 4 of 10 Release Notes 1. The install name has been changed from SETUP.EXE to PROFICYSETUP.EXE 2. When upgrading from Versions of Proficy* Machine Edition older than 9.0 your PME window settings and system options may be reset. Fixed Issues A subset of fixed issues specific to the release is available within in the fixed issues document on the installation disk and installed to the help directory A detailed history can be found on the support page: New Features (General) WIN 10 Support Windows 10 support for Logic Developer PLC, Logic Developer PC, and View has been added to the list of supported operating systems for Proficy* Machine Edition. Ribbon Bar Optimizations The ribbon bar has been tweaked to simplify access for some common capabilities. New commands have been added to the quick launch menu (Save&Backup, Close with Save, Close without Save, Launch Help); "Utilities" and "Info Viewer" commands have been separated. Button added to toggle active HWC in PLC redundant systems

5 Important Product Information Page 5 of 10 System Options Reset The ability to reset all the system option to their defaults has been added to the right click menu of the options navigator. Info Viewer Technology Update The Info Viewer has been updated to a newer technology! While the ability to navigate is not new, this update will allow users to navigate to most Predix* dashboards or external websites within the Info Viewer without tossing endless script errors. Note: The page must support IE11 to be shown properly! Variable Filter Configuration Dialog Updates The ability to filter by target and publish state has been added to the Variable Filter Configuration dialog. New Features (Logic Developer PLC) Materials List Generator The Materials List Generator is a feature that will take the Hardware Configuration of a PLC Project and either export it to a CSV or display a report in the info viewer, the report is split into Module name, Count and Obsolete. Modules are only marked as obsolete if they exist in the catalog known to Machine Edition, if you know of a module that is obsolete and it does not appear in this list you can contact support to have it appended. Note: This was also shipped in PME 8.60 SIM 9 and 9.00 SIM 1

6 Important Product Information Page 6 of 10 CPE330 Embedded Profinet Support for embedded Profinet on the CPE330 has been added. Note: This was also shipped in PME 8.60 SIM 2 and PME 9.00 SIM 3 CPE400 Support for the CPE400 controller has been added Note: This was also shipped in PME 9.00 SIM 8 Ability to Create a PLC Project Based on an IP Address Creating a new project based on an IP address is useful when you can no longer locate your original offline project that is running in the controller. To create a new project based on an IP address manually the process is: 1. Create a project. 2. Make sure the controller type is correct. 3. Attach to the controller. 4. Upload into the project. 5. Disconnect. A new template automates these steps with any failures in the automation leaving the project open in the state it failed (Invalid IP, not a controller, blank controller, unplanned disconnect, etc.) Controller Status Download Details The controller status dialog will now show the windows user and machine that last downloaded the project to the controller.

7 Important Product Information Page 7 of 10 Constants in Structured Text The ability to define constants in ST has been added, these constants do not appear in the tag navigator. Warning: This modification adds the word VAR CONSTANT and END_VAR to the reserved words table! String Support for Function Blocks Added support for strings as parameters of function blocks. Enhanced Security for UDT s and Locked Blocks UDT s can now be locked like UDFB s, and the export for locked blocks and UDT s has been changed from clear text to encrypted. PPS Function Block Usage Simplification The PPS Function Blocks can now be imported on an as needed basis into a project. Note: The XML files are installed to "\Documents\GE Intelligent Platforms\PME\Libraries Verify Equality Improvements Verify equality now displays detailed compare report for ST and FBD (like the pre-existing LD report)

To retrieve a sample of the format of a configuration file run PACsAnalyzer manually, setup up the options you are interested in and then view the file "\Public\Documents\GE Intelligent Platforms\PacsAnalyzer\PACSetup.xml" Note: This utility is also available as a standalone download from the support site. Update Notification Utility refreshed The update notification utility has been upgraded to work with the new support site and the catalogs are now stored in the Predix* cloud. ToolboxST Trender The Trender utility used with Mark VIe controllers is now installed by PME and can be used to interact with OPCUA and EGD tags coming from a PAC controller. When installed via Machine Edition the trender:

Note: This was also shipped in PME 8.60 SIM 9 and PME 9.00 SIM 2. New Features (Change Management) Enhancement to support RSLogix 5000 module up to version 27 The RSLogix 5000 module in Proficy Change Management Thick Client has been updated to be able to handle RSLogix 5000 *.ACD files up to version 27. Known Issues DCP Tool May Lock up (DE3365) If an identify pattern is initiated and then the device is turned off at the exact time it is communicating the DCP tool may lock up and cannot be closed. On the wire, it is stuck doing ARP requests. If the device returns you can stop the identification and close it, but otherwise, you need to kill the process. Indirect Reference incorrectly reporting as used addresses ( /DE3864) An indirect reference when used in logic with a length treats the register address used as if it were using the direct reference. For example, H_WIRE; MOVE_INT 6 displays the address used as %R1 to %R6.
