Profibus Issues
Caution
When using the 90-30 Profibus Master Module (HE693PBM101 or HE693PBM101F) with VersaPro
2.0x, you must upgrade the PBM module firmware to the latest version in order for the configurations
produced by VersaPro 2.0x to be usable by the module. PBM firmware revision 3.03 or later is
required for HE693PBM101 Profibus module. PBM firmware revision 3.08 and 90-30 CPU Firmware
revision 10.60 are required for HE693PBM101F module.
1. If VersaPro is run on a 486 66Mhz PC with 16MB RAM on the Windows NT operating system, the response when adding
a 90-30 Profibus module HE693PBM101 can be slow (up to 60 seconds before the Parameters Dialog for the Module
appears). Typically, it might take upto 5 seconds on a Pentium III 500 MHz PC with 384MB RAM and upto 45 seconds
on Pentium 200 MHz PC with 112 MB RAM. This is caused by some changes to improve the user interface in the
hardware configuration and because the Profibus module configuration size has increased significantly. (CR71830)
Resolution: When using Profibus modules in the configuration, you should use a PC with a Pentium class processor with a
64MB of RAM minimum.
2. When loading a Profibus module HE693PBM101 with an older configuration, the configuration will be automatically
converted to a new format required to support the new capabilities of the module. However, this means that the
configuration is not compatible with the older module. At this point you must upgrade the firmware of the Profibus module
in order for the new configuration to be usable by the module. This upgrade is located on the VersaPro CD at the
following location: \HE693PBM101E\Version303. Open the clickme.bat and follow the directions.
Resolution: The Profibus module firmware should be updated at the same time that the VersaPro 2.0x is installed to avoid
this issue.
Word for Word Issues
· Word for Word online edits cannot be performed on output coils when the “Coil justification column” option is set
(by selecting the menu Tools ® Options, and Ladder Tab). Word for Word specifications indicate that COIL ( ),
CLOSED_COIL (/), SET (S), RESET (R), TRP(), and TRN (¯) should all interchange. When these exchanges are
attempted, the coil justification option kicks in and makes the replacement a new coil, making the status go NOT EQUAL.
(CR72186)
Resolution: The coil justification column should be turned off when doing word for word changes on these outputs.
Known Crashes or Lock Up
1. Attempting drag on undocked window outside of the VersaPro application window may cause a crash. (CR72655)
Resolution: You should not attempt to drag an undocked window outside of the VersaPro frame.
