Internal version number: 5.58

Key changes:

  • Complex Data based on DataTypeDefinition


Targeting

  • .NET Runtimes: Removed support for .NET Core 3.0.

Licensing

  • The Full Installer now has a Production Tools subcomponent under Tools. Selecting this component installs both the (GUI-based) LicenseManager and (console based) LMConsole.
  • The Production Installer subcomponent License Manager under Tools has been renamed to Production Tools (consistently with the Full Installer). Selecting this component installs both the (GUI-based) LicenseManager and (console based) LMConsole. Previously, only LMConsole.exe was included in the Production Installer.

Component Improvements

OPC UA Complex Data

  • Added support for new complex data type model in OPC UA 1.04 (based on DataTypeDefinition). The "old" complex data type model (based on DataTypeDictionary) is still supported, and both models work together and in a unified way from developer's perspective.
  • For representing unions, added new UnionDataType subclass of DataType, and corresponding UnionData subclass of GenericData.
  • Added support for OptionSets.

OPC XML-DA

  • Added property EasyDAAdaptableParameters.UseAdvancedPolledRefresh (default true, which means the same behavior as in previous versions). Determines whether the advanced polled refresh approach will be used with OPC XML-DA.
  • Added properties EasyDAAdaptableParameters.SubscriptionPolledRefreshTimeoutFactor and SubscriptionPolledRefreshTimeoutIncrease, for influencing how the subscription polled refresh timeout is calculated.
