Improvements and additions

1) Added IEC type IL language
It can be used in IEC type PLC (XGI, XGB (IEC), XMC, etc.). For more information on how to use IL
(IEC), refer to the XG5000 user's manual.

2) Added memory in project read / write

Added the ability to add memory to the project and write the contents of the memory when writing
the project. It supports read / write, and can also monitor offline if memory items are added to the
project.

For details of the function, refer to the XG5000 user's manual.

 3) Check latest version of XG5000
New version checking functionality added
.

If there is a new version, the following message will be displayed. Press [OK] button to go to
homepage where latest version of XG5000 is registered.

4) Improved find and replace

The Find / Change function has been improved as follows.
 ① Improved device find and replace in ST program
② Improvement of bit / word type finding in XGK type program
③ Improved END instruction search function in LD, ST, IL program
④ Direct variable description window in XGI type program Window device find / replace
function added
⑤ Added device find function in used device window.

Refer to the XG5000 user's manual for details on the Find and Replace window.

5) Improvement to open old version of XG5000 and PD program simultaneously when

opening the program
[Step]
1. Select [Project] - [Open Project] to select the XG5000 project file, and then click the
[Open] button.

2. "Open XG-PD file?" Message is displayed, press the [YES] button at the bottom.
3. The dialog box of the network parameter information of XG-PD file is displayed. Select
the item that matches the CPU module of the XG5000 project file and click the [OK]
button.

4. The contents of the XG5000 project file and the network parameters of the XG-PD are
displayed together in the XG5000 project tree.
 6) Launch XG5000 with user rights
Improved XG5000 execution rights to match the current user's privileges. If you have user rights,
you no longer see pages asking for administrator privileges. However, if the PC is administrator, the
administrator notification window will be displayed.

7) Improved FB instance autocomplete in ST editor

8) Improved MCS, MCSCLR program inspection

When MCS and MCSCLR are used incorrectly in LD program, the part that is not marked as error
in program check has been improved. Even if the MCS number is smaller than MCSCLR, it has been
improved to detect as an error in the program check.

9) Added global variable color option

Color options for global variables have been added in the programming of IEC series and XGK auto
assignments.
The color of global variable can be set in XG5000 option.

10) Added XGBU auto allocation function

Automatic assignment to high-performance XGB models has been added. User defined function /
function block and ST language can also be used in the corresponding model.
 11) Additional improvements to the EtherCAT SDO parameter start command
Added support for easy addition to start commands. The user can add the desired SDO parameter
to the start command by executing [Popup menu] - [Add to start command] while editing in the
SDO parameter window.

12) Add DC shift of EtherCAT slave

A DC shift time function parameter has been added to adjust the sync signal generation time. The
location of the parameter is located in [EtherCAT Parameter] - [Slave] - [Individual Slave] - [General
Information] tab.

13) [XG-PM] Added XGF-PN4B / PN8B module virtual axis parameter

The parameter position is located in [Operation parameter] - [Basic parameter] - [Axis type]. To use
the virtual axis function, you must use XGF-PN4B module OS version 1.2 or higher and XGF-PN8B
module OS version 1.6 or higher.

14) [XG-PM] Add EtherCAT positioning module servo error code display
By using the system view monitoring function, you can easily check the error status and error code
of all connected servo on one screen.

15) Add XBC-EL95A model

A new model has been added. For details, refer to the product manual.

16) Add new flag

Operation time related flag (_PLC_OPERATING_TIME and others)
High-performance XGI / XGK Local Ethernet-related warnings and flags added_L_ETHERNET_WAR and
others)
For details on how to use the flag, refer to the PLC user's manual.

2. Error correction
1) XG5000 abnormal termination correction in Windows XP
Fixed an issue where XG5000 would be abnormally terminated when writing programs due to
compatibility problems between Windows XP and its upper OS.
 2) Fixed the problem of missing variables when reading from PLC
Fixed an issue where variable information is not uploaded correctly when PLC memory address is
entered in lowercase when CSV file is loaded in IEC type model.

3) Fixed U device registration problem when reading text file

When using the [Read as text file] menu in the global variable window of the XGI project, the U
device is registered, and the device is checked for validity, and it is registered in the global variable
list.

4) Fixed ST language behavior problem registered in library

When adding function / function block created in ST language to library, problem that does not
work normally has been fixed. You must re-register the previously registered ST program to use it
normally.

5) Error when sharing LS Studio tags

The type size for the variable was calculated and reassigned to fit the size.

6) Corrected command display error in XGK ST language

Fixed an issue where some commands of the _EN command, which is an ST program specific
command of the auto allocation project, are not displayed.
 7) Modify XMC PLC array exception handling
Fixed an issue where exception handling for index range did not work properly when using array in
XMC PLC. If the array index exceeds the size of the array, the function / function block is not
executed and the ENO value is output as 0.

8) XMC PLC NC program download problem correction

Fixed an issue where program table and data table did not match in some programs when
downloading NC program.
