Limitation Section 1 Release Notes

Limitation
This version of Device Library Wizard does not support National Language Support
(NLS). All application windows of this tool are displayed in english language only.

Windows 2000 Operating Systems

The Device Library Wizard can be installed and used within all Windows operating
systems released for the ABB Industrial IT systems.
Device Type files as provided with *.zip extension can not be extracted via Device
Library Wizard on the Windows 2000 operating systems.
The limitation is only valid on PCs with Windows 2000 operating system and
Device Type files with the extension *.ZIP.
Device Type files with the extension *.EXE can be used without limitation.

The following procedure has to be performed:

1. Download WinZip tool from the webpage www.winzip.com
WinZip licenses are not subject to the ABB Industrial IT licensing arrangements.
Evaluation version of WinZip may be used for a limited time period free of
licenses, if not described otherwise.

2. Install the WinZip program on the PC with Windows 2000 operating system.
3. Double click on the Device Type file with the extension *.zip and extract it to
the following folder:
– For FOUNDATION Fieldbus:
<Installation path>\ABB Industrial IT\Engineer IT\ABB Device
Integration Library\FF Device Integration Library
– For HART:
<Installation path>\ABB Industrial IT\Engineer IT\ABB Device
Integration Library\HART Device Integration Library
– For PROFIBUS
<Installation path>\ABB Industrial IT\Engineer IT\ABB Device
Integration Library\PROFIBUS Device Integration Library

Section 1 Release Notes Limitation

4. Repeat step 3 till all required Device Types with zip-extension have been
extracted.
5. The extracted Device Types are now available in the Device Library Wizard for
installation.

Device Types
ABB cannot guarantee an operable ABB Industrial IT system, if device types,
installed with the Device Library Wizard, are modified manually. Only tested
software shall be installed on the system PCs. All software supplied in the Device
Integration Libraries or installed with the Device Library Wizard meets this
requirement.
The device types in the Device Integration Libraries are created by ABB and
tested for use in the ABB Industrial IT systems. ABB created these device types
based on data provided by individual device vendors (e.g. DDs, Device specific
DTMs and Asset Monitor behavior specifications), which ABB relies on as
accurately reflecting the actual device specification and behavior. Therefore,
ABB cannot assume liability for events that are caused by devices that are not
functioning according to fieldbus standards, or device specifications, or for events
that are caused by mismatches between the device behavior and the input data
provided by the device vendor.

Device Type Manager (DTM)

Device specific DTM may also include licensing, whereby the end user has to
purchase the license separately directly from the device manufacturer.
Licenses for device specific DTMs are not subject to the ABB Industrial IT
licensing arrangements. Please read the related device type release notes, whether
license agreements for DTM software must be considered.

Fixed Problems Section 1 Release Notes

Fixed Problems
Operational
Table 1 lists the major system or product operational issues that have been corrected
since the previous version or service pack. A brief description of the correction has
also been given.

Issue Correction or Fix

Multiple object type selection is not
maintained between the Next and Back
operation.
800xADLW-OL-5000-004
Installing several device types in batch
mode may lead to a situation, where the
user gets prompted to select the
appropriate DTM for a device type but
cannot see, on which type the DLW is
currently working on due to a non possible
refresh of DLW’s user interface.
Fixed in this version.
Device Library Wizard saves user selection and
offers all pre-selections done by the user in case of
backwards navigation.
Fixed in this version.
A Status Information window is included to guide
the user through device type installation.
This status information will be on top of all windows
screens. The user can see the information
available for DTM selection.
