Firmware R3.04 Functions
- Support for devices with the Ethernet－Serial Gateway Function
- The MW100 can now have direct communication with instruments connected via a multidrop connection to the PR300. （client)
- Added data types
- INT16 (server/slave)
- Bit (client/master)
- Connectivity with upstream devices (CENTUM, etc.)
- Network load can now be adjusted through frequent polling from upstream devices. (server)
Connection by the Ｅｔｈｅｒｎｅｔ－Serial Gateway function
Firmware R3.03 Functions
| - | Lite Monitor: | Enables monitoring with a digital display, even in environments with low transmission speeds. | |
| - | Setting List: | A list of settings that can be displayed in TXT (text) or "printable" format. | |
| - | Bit output computation: | Enables output of the value of specified bits (0/1) of reference channel data (positive integers expressed as bits). | |
| - | Alarm DO output: | Preset settings of Off, Open, and Close were added as operations upon stop or error. | |
| - | Modbus Slave/Server Function: |
|

Firmware R3.02 Functions
Standard Support for the EtherNet/IP Protocol
Advantages of EtherNet/IP Compatibility
- Able to develop a highly flexible systems
By using Ethernet/IP in the standard interface, the most appropriate multivendor systems can be readily developed for users. In addition, instruments can be added or modified without any additional programming, thus improving efficiency.
- Improved trend analysis
By making it easier to install the MW100 Data Acquisition Unit in systems and thereby facilitating the chronological monitoring of equipment operating conditions and quality data, trends can be analyzed with higher precision.
- Transmission of vast amounts of data at high speeds over a wide area
Data can be regularly transmitted at high speeds to instruments distributed over a wide area.
- Easy maintenance over a network
With Ethernet, maintenance staff do not need to learn a dedicated protocol for each instrument, making it easier to control the network.
| Note 1: | You must install firmware R3.02 to use EtherNet/IP with the MW100. | |
| Note 2: | EtherNet/IP is an open industrial application layer protocol supported by ODVA (Open DeviceNet Vendor Association). |
Addition of User Authorization to the SMTP Authorization Function
A user authorization feature has been added to the SMTP Authorization function. SMTP authorization (SMTP Service Extension Authentication: SMTP AUTH) means that verification is made when sending e-mails so that only successfully authorized users can send e-mail. This newly added authorization function serves to further strengthen security for sending of e-mails.
