- ALWAYS create a backup of the control unit (NLSR) before the firmware update !

- Before performing a firmware update make sure that no system components are faulty. During the update automatic adjustments are made, which may produce undesirable results because of faulty system components.

- When the central unit is restarted all open web pages of the system must be closed !
During restart buffered information is lost and save operations will result in a partial save thus corrupting the system configuration.

- The feature GLT Gateway now requires a feature key. Without a valid key, the GLT Gateway support is disabled.
  You can request the key using your order number and serial number of the system.

- Offline-Tool default path is: %APPDATA%\Mulicontrol and %APPDATA%\Mulicontrol\ZFS

*** Offline-Tool ***

- (2017-08-10): On some Windows 10 systems, the simulated LCD display crashed. The problem has been solved.

- The Offline-Tool contains a demo configuration (Zip archive), which can be installed on demand.

- The Administration menu has the new page "Import / Export ...". This page contains two new features:

  - Export a lamp list in CSV format, which can be opened in a spreadsheet directly or via data import.
    The list contains following lamp data:

      circuit    (circuit number 1..96)
      lamp       (lamp number 1..20)
      position   (position text)
      mode       (lamp operation mode; maintained, non-maintained, )
      monitoring (lamp monitoring: M - lamp monitoring, CM - power monitoring, OFF - monitoring disabled)
      map        (index of the floorplan 0..99)
      x_pos      (lamp position, pixel-X-coordinate)
      y_pos      (lamp Position, pixel-Y-coordinate)

  - Import a lamp list in CSV format (see above). The function checks the format and the range of values.
    The lamp configuration is overwritten with the contents of the list. 

    Before importing, a backup of the system configuration is recommended.

    The function is intended for fast import of position text and visualization data. The lamp coordinates (x_pos, y_pos) on a map can be identified with a external graphics program (e.g. paint.net) and entered by hand into the CSV list. The placement of a large number of lamps is simplified and requires little rework in the web interface (fine placement).
    The CSV data can be processed in a spreadsheet (no Offline-Tool required).

    Recommended workflow:
	- Backup the system and import it into the Offline-Tool
	- Start the Offline-Tool and export the existing configuration (CSV) via the web interface	
    - Create a working copy of the CSV file
    - Modify working copy
    - Import working copy

    If problems arise during import or afterwards, the configuration can be restored from the backup or CSV (original data).


*** GLT Gateway ***

- Bugfix: Missing mapping for the critical circuit (0x3100 Bit 8) has been added.

- Bugfix: Missing mapping for the fan fault via IOM1.E3 (0x3102 Bit 10) has been added


*** BAT-LOGG ***

- Bugfix: When the BAT-LOGG interface had detected a wrong number of sensors, the message "BL_SENSOR_RES_0" was displayed in the LCD. The error has been corrected and "wrong sensor count" is displayed now.

- Bugfix: In LCD menu for the battery details the number of faults is now counted correctly.

  - faster page presentation by dynamic loading of page contents and partial updates of web pages.

- The page "Administration / circuits" has been revised for classic circuits modules and now is subdivided into circuit parameters, circuit SAM and lighting list.

- The selection field for circuits has moved next to the "Save" button and contains the terminal name together with the logical circuit number in parentheses (example: "K1 (1)").

- The section "circuit parameters" displays type and revision of the circuit module as well as the circuit operating parameters. The reference value for current monitoring is also shown.

- The SAM programming depends on the properties of the SAM modules (available number of inputs and adjustable features)

- Labelling of the SAM inputs is displayed in the section SAM programming

- The luminaries list is updated automatically when the number of luminaries is changed in the circuit parameters.

- The page "Administration / circuits" shows an different screen for ELS-enabled circuit modules which is subdivided into circuit parameters, circuit SAM and luminaries monitoring, lighting mode, lighting switching and lamp list.

  - Mains monitors: All SAM inputs with mains monitoring function are shown this section. The mains monitoring function for the circuit is activated by checking.
  
    Please note: A circuit module supports up to 6 entries for mains monitors & lighting switching.

  - Luminaries monitoring: The luminary monitoring for individual lamps can be turned off. This way non-existing lights are ignored during testing.

  - Lamp operation mode: The operation mode can be defined centrally for ELS-enabled lighting modules. The default settings of DIP switch are overwritten here.

  - Lighting switching: This table links SAM inputs and switched maintained lights. When a SAM input is on (E=1) the linked lights are turned on and when the input changes to off (E=0) the lamps are turned off. 
    A column may contain multiple assignments, all SAM inputs must be turned off to turn of the linked lights (logical or).
    The checkbox "all" will set or reset the entire row for a SAM input.

    Please note: A circuit module supports up to 6 entries for mains monitors & lighting switching. Linked lamps remain even if the operation mode is changed from switched maintained light to maintained or non-maintained light.

  - Lamp List: This list corresponds to the classic lamp list view. In this section the lighting mode is displayed only as set in the lamp operation mode section. A page reload may be required.

- The design of the page "Administration / All circuits" has been revised. The SAM programming uses the same display scheme as page "Administration / circuits".

  Please note: Clicking on "save system" just initiates the storage operation. While saving is in progress, the user interface in not locked. When saving is complete a message below the save button is displayed.

- The management of the substation has moved to a separate page which is accessible via the menu item "substations". If the menu item is not visible after a firmware update, open the page "options" and save. Afterwards the menu item becomes visible.

  Please note: The model myControl requires a feature key for "networking" to enable the subsystems page and menu item.

- The manual capacity test duration is now adjustable on the page "Administration / tests".

- The duration of the manual capacity test is now displayed in the caption of the button.

- Page "E-Mail" displays networking parameters (gateway, netmask, DNS) of the active Ethernet interface. The result of "test settings" is displayed without reloading the page.

- The translations of the Slovak language has been revised.

- After a firmware update from V1.0.0 to 1.1.x/1.2.x the function "installation > detect modules" must be executed in the central unit.

*** General ***

- Bugfix (496.17): Queries of deactivates circuits and luminaries are omitted.

- Bugfix (496.15): During function test the battery voltage and battery center voltage is stored after the first half of the function test.

- Bugfix (496.8): Tests are disabled, when one LDM is in strong charge mode.

- Bugfix (496.7): The fan is turned on, when one LDM is in strong charge mode.

- New intersystem communication via TCP/IP, where the main system gathers and evaluates status information from up to 10 subsystems over the network. Optional connection monitoring of subsystems and error forwarding to the main system is available.

When activating or deactivating the communication or adding and removing ip addresses the system requires a reboot.

- changed IOM output assignments: circuit error event has moved to IOM No. 2 K1. The modified-standby event has moved to IOM No. 1 K3.

- Modified-standby events of SAM inputs are shown in the status display and logged.

- New SAM function for switched standby luminaries. This function switches standby luminaries without (turned off) delay. A firmware update on central unit 2 and all DCM is required too.

- Simplified programming of the line-monitor. The setting "MC-LM" in the input selection is used now.

- Predefined texts for SAM and IOM inputs.

- Active critical circuit loop triggers the display "critical circuit" in the status display.

- Faults during function tests are categorized into circuit fault, luminaire fault (luminaire monitoring), current fault (current monitoring)

- DCM31, DCM41 and DCM61 support

- MicroControl support

- minor bug fixes

*** LCD Interface ***

- Bugfix (496.9): The current value on the LDM info pages is scaled correctly now.

- Bugfix (496.5): Single DCM test now displays ISO faults.

- Bugfix (496.1): The screen in the menu "installation > lamps" is updated completely on changes.

- "diagnosis > DCM/LDM/IOM/SAM > SAM/IOM inputs" displays input states which trigger modified-standby as "M".

- changes in menu structure:

 * The menu item "installation > key parameters" moved to "diagnosis > system information

* The menu items "diagnosis > circuits", "diagnosis > chargers", "diagnosis > SAM/IOM inputs" have moved into a new sub menu "diagnosis > DCM/LDM/IOM/SAM"

* The menu item "configuration > administration > network" has moved to "configuration > administration > network > ip addresses".

 * The menu item "configuration > administration > E-mail" has moved into "configuration > administration > network"

* Authorisation for the menu items "installation > detect modules", ""configuration > timer", "configuration > administration > IOM inputs" and ""configuration > administration > SAM inputs" has changes to level customer.

- new menus:

* The menu item "diagnosis > subdistribution" supports error tracking for UV-controllers. Mains failure and faults are displayed and updated frequently.

* The menu item "diagnosis > substation" displays status and fault memory of networked sub systems.

* The menu item "reset errors > show errors" displays the contents of the fault memory.

 * The menu item "installation > calibrate circuits" initiates a special manual function test which determines the reference value for current measurements for all circuits.


*** web interface ***

- Bugfix (496.4): The button "history" displays the last test, when no or an invalid date has been entered.

- Bugfix (496.3): In the modifed-standby state no function or capacity tests can be initiated through the web interface.

- The new configuration page for all circuits allows fast configuration of circuit position, number of monitored luminaires, current monitoring, circuit operation mode and SAM settings.

- anlage_info.cgi has been revised

- revised display of system faults

- revised localization.

- revised logos.

- improved stability


*** Offline tool (PC Configuration software) ***

- print function (to file) for the system configuration in C:\ZFS using the CSV format. All configuration must be transferred to the PC first.


Changes in 1.1.0 (486):
-----------------------

- After a firmware update from V1.0.0 to 1.1.x/1.2.x the function "installation > detect modules" must be executed in the central unit.

- Release 1.1.0: For correct function of the timer a firmware update of all DCM is required. Otherwise the DCM will malfunction when the timer switches circuits during modified-standby or delay.
