!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

- 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 ***

- 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.



Changes in firmware 1.8.2 (1109):
--------------------------------

*** Hardware Requirements ***

- Adjustable logical circuit numbers from 1 to 99.
  Each circuit has an adjustable circuit number in order to achieve a continuous logical numbering of the circuits.
  Duplicate assignments of numbers have to be checked manually.
  In the circuit configuration the selection is still based on the terminal number (K1, K2, etc.).

- In the MMO configuration each input can be assigned a function which is lighting switching (standard) or mains monitoring.
  When commissioning, this should be set first.
  The extension is needed for programming ELS-enabled circuits.

- When MMO programming in the circuit, the selected MMO address (MMO-type) determines the available MMO inputs and does not allow invalid combinations. The same applies for the operation mode/function.

- When MMO programming the name of MMO input is displayed when MMO address, MMO input and MMO operation mode (function) has been set.

- In the LCD and WEB the characters " ' & / < > can be used in text fields and do not result in an incorrect display of web interface pages.

- The circuit configuration which is stored in RAM memory is additionally secured by a checksum. When the circuit configuration is accessed, the checksum is verified and the configuration is reloaded from the file system if necessary.

- System communication: A main station with version 1.8.0 (1087) can query substations with version 1.7.x (937, 951, 955, 958, 1013, 1022, 1030, 1042). An update of substations is no longer mandatory.

- The startup of the control unit can be interrupted (see 1.7.4).


*** LCD-Interface ***

- The BAT-LOGG integration is available via the menu "Diagnosis> Battery Monitoring".

- The MMO programming for ELS circuits can only be done via the web interface!

*** Web-Interface ***

- Note: File names for floor plans must be written in lower case (h.png, m00.png, m01.png, etc.).

- Bugfix: Save did not work reliably and page formatting was sporadic incorrect. Both were caused by incompletely loaded content (lack of JavaScript or CSS). The internal page structure has been changed so that all content are always loaded safely.

- Bugfix: Under certain circumstances, the presentation of the circuits on the page "Administration / all circuits"  could differ from those on "Administration / circuits". The cause has been fixed.

- Bugfix: The display sequence of test results is the same as on the LCD.

- Bugfix: When transferring data from text input boxes, old entries are erased completely before new data is transferred. This prevents trailing garbage after the end of strings.

- All pages have been converted to the HTML5 standard. See supported Web browsers note!

- For the BAT-LOGG integration following pages have been created:
  - "Administration / battery monitoring"
  - "Administration / battery monitoring / settings" 
  - "Administration / battery monitoring / battery arrangement"

- The user interface has been revised and improved for easier handling:
  - new model independent logo
  - new navigation menu for quick one-click navigation
  - clear Interaction: When an operation as Save is triggered, the user interface will be locked (semi-transparent overlay and animated graphic) until the operation has completed.
  - 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 MMO 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 MMO programming depends on the properties of the MMO modules (available number of inputs and adjustable features)

- Labeling of the MMO inputs is displayed in the section MMO programming

- The luminary 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 MMO and luminary monitoring, lighting mode, lighting switching and lamp list.

  - Mains monitors: All MMO 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.

  - Luminary 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 MMO inputs and switched maintained lights. When a MMO 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 MMO 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 MMO 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 MMO 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.

- Minor bug fixes and enhancements




Changes in firmware 1.7.9 (1042):

- Hardware versions HW19, HW20 and HW21 are supported.

- Booting the NLSR can be paused to create a backup of the NLSR via FTP (break boot loops). Once the text "F1" appears on the LCD boot screen on the top left corner, the key F1 must be pressed and held. When the boot process is paused the text "Paused" will appear and the settings of the active ethernet interface. Pressing F1 again will resume the boot process.
When using a connected PS/2 keyboard press (and release) the F1 key twice while booting in order to enter the paused state. Pressing F1 once will resume the boot process.

- The mains voltage measurement supports 50Hz or 60Hz (factory setting). 

- The averaging of the mains voltage measurement was increased.

- The MCHG charger-on sequence has been revised. A invalid charge state is indicated by the LED "charge" (LED remains off, when one charger is not charging)

- A master system with version 1013 can communicate with slave system with version 1013 and 958. An update of slave systems is no longer mandatory.

- Bugfix: slave systems with unsupported firmware result in a fault "subsystem firmware" on the master system.

- Bugfix #765: At system startup the configured passwords are now properly initialized.

- On the OEM page the passwords are reset to their default values by setting the checkbox "new passwords" and saving the configuration.



Changes in firmware 1.7.2 (954):
--------------------------------

- Bugfix: The number of ARP entries was increased from 20 to 40. The NLSR can thus resolve up to 40 IP addresses and implement a inter-system communication with one master station, 32 substations and seven other network devices.

- The input MSWC #1 E4 (closed current loop) can be used to configure a circuit shutdown of the station. The circuit shutdown is carried out when the input E=0 is permanently present. When switched off, the circuits are unpowerd and function/capacity tests are locked. In the LCD the menu item "reset errors" will also terminate the shutdown after confirmation.
A running function or capacity test is terminated as soon as possible.


*** Web-Interface ***

- On page "Administration/Option" the MSWC-option "functional test" is no longer available. This configuration is now done on the page "Administration/MSWC" and is automatically copied from the old settings.

- Improved Windows 8 support.



Changes in firmware 1.7.1 (951):
--------------------------------

- Polish language support in LCD (complete) and Web.

- The file system can be formatted using the authorization service. 
CAUTION: Before starting, create and check a backup. In the function, the entire configuration (including OEM parameters) will be deleted!

- The authorization level maintenance has been downgraded and is now below customer. With this new level no configuration changes are possible.

- Bugfix: The messages "subsystem <n> mains" and "subsystem <n> mb" are only logged once in the master station. The fault is not logged continuously while active.

- Bugfix: Die Meldungen "subsystem <n> mains" und "subsystem <n> mb" erfolgen fr alle Unterstationen, die den Zustand melden und nicht mehr nur fr die erste Station.

- Bugfix: The messages "subsystem <n> mains" and "subsystem <n> mb" are generated for all stations that report the fault and not just for the first station.


*** LCD-Interface ***

- In the LCD left over help labels on the function keys have been removed.

- The labeling of the global timer control "Timer" for the function key F1 (left white key below the display) has been added.

- The LCD display errors with the global timer control were corrected

Current Windows installations have already installed the libraries.



Changes in firmware 1.7.0 (937):
--------------------------------

- Bugfix: Sending a test e-mail no longer restarts the control unit (NLSR) if the response of the mail server is too long.

- Bugfix: Lamp faults in the last circuit are now included in the message "lamps" in the system log.

- Bugfix: When starting the system circuit, fuse and earth faults are collected and logged in a single message and not individually anymore.

- Bugfix: The circuit fault on MSWC #2 K1 is now correctly signaled if a lamp failure, power failure or circuit current failure (fuse, ground fault, overload) is present (OR operation).

- Bugfix: The error "battery center voltage" is signaled on the MSWC 2 K4 again. In normal condition the contact K4 if off (K4 LED dark) and with active error the contact K4 is on (K4 LED lights).

- Bugfix: mains failure during a capacity test is correctly detected.

- Support for the model myControl

- Support for circuit modules MLD11 and MLD12 (myControl)

- Support for MMO and MLT-MC. During "detect modules" the MMO module types are detected and displayed. Requirements: Z2 with HW4/HW5 and SW22 (or higher)

- Support for the charging module MCHG MY (myControl)

- Support for the new MCHG with HW7 and SW35 (or higher). 
  - MCHG jumper setting is read and stored (reference) during "detect modules" and checked when the system starts. An incorrect MCHG jumper setting results in the "MCHG Jumper" fault, which is signaled acoustically and cannot be reset. 
   In older MCHG the jumper setting stored as "unknown" and not checked when the system starts. 
  - Display of the MCHG settings (jumper). Unknown battery type and charging current will be displayed as "-" 
  - Charging voltage reduction during of symmetry errors.  
  
- Mixed MCHG revisions with old (up HW6) and new MCHG (from HW7, SW35), which may result in MCHG not charging the battery, are detected and displayed as "MCHG versions" fault. All MCHG must have either a software version of SW35 (or higher) or SW19 (or lower, SW18 is displayed as SW33).

- Revised  battery symmetry monitoring: The symmetry deviation delta_v = (V_bat + - 2 * V_Batsym) in the battery symmetry is communicated in regular intervals (about 60 seconds) to all MCHG. The battery charging voltage is adjusted accordingly. 

- Adjustable error threshold for symmetry deviation (OEM page). The default deviation is set to the value 50 (+ -2.5 V).

- The external battery temperature sensor in the battery compartment is actively monitored. If the sensor does not provide readings or readings below 10C or above 50C results in a  corresponding fault. The function of the sensor (temperature readings) must be checked after a firmware update.

- Revised Swedish language (SE) for LCD and WEB.

- Variable passwords for maintenance and service (max 8 characters). During an update to 1.7 the passwords are set to default values. 
   Note: When downgrading and upgrading all changes are lost !

- The timer control can be disabled globally (Please check, the setting after the firmware update).

- On the OEM page an expired maintenance can be configured to trigger a collective fault.

- Dates are represented in accordance with ISO8601 format YYYY-MM-DD.

- Using the Web interface the MSWC output for luminary fault can be configured on MSWC1 K2 or K3 MSWC2. A configuration conflict with the charger fault is not checked and may not be programmed. 
   Note: If this function is used in conjunction with a MCT12/15, the charger fault must be disabled in the MCT (firmware to SW15) in the error display. On MCT with SW16 the charger fault is deactivated by default.

- Using the Web interface the MSWC output charger fault can be configured on MSWC1 K2 or K3 MSWC2. A configuration collision with the luminary fault is not checked.

- The e-mail authorization method also supports LOGIN.

- Luminary fault and circuit current fault is forwarded to the MCT.
  Requirement: Z2 with HW4/HW5 and SW32 (or higher), MCT with SW17 or higher

- Substation faults with station number is forwarded to the MCT.
  Requirement: Z2 with HW4/HW5 and SW32 (or higher), MCT with SW17 or higher

- Configurable minimum battery voltage level for triggering a function test (OEM page).

- The settings 40 min and 320 min have been added for manual and automatic capacity test durations. (Write down the settings before the firmware update and check after the update).

- Adjustable threshold for triggering a collective fault on luminary faults: The threshold defines how many luminary faults are required to trigger a collective fault. Below the threshold there is only a message in the LCD status screen.
  The threshold can be set on the options page in the admin area via the web interface. 
  Luminary fault on the MSWC is always signaled on the first error (no threshold).


*** LCD-Interface ***

- Bugfix: Display errors on the details page in menu "Test Results> capacity test" have been fixed.

- Bugfix: If no MCHG are installed, the menu "Diagnosis > Modules> Charger" is now blocked and produces a beep when selected.

- The menu is entirely in Swedish language.

- Help system has been removed.

- New authorization maintenance. With the maintenance authorization, the service menu is available and allows adjustment of the maintenance date.

- For integrated circuits (Micro: circuit 7, Mini: circuit 13), the input fields for lamp and circuit monitoring have been disabled. These circuits are initialized with no lamps and no current monitoring.

- Circuits, which are not present, cannot be configured.

- A detailed view has been added to the MCHG info screen which displays battery type and charging current of the MCHG. "-" indicates unknown settings (MCHG revision or module detection has not been updated).

- Beim MCHG Info-Bildschirm kann unter Details der eingestellte Batterietyp und Ladestrom eingesehen werden.

- The MCHG info screen shows state "charge off", when charging has switching off due to a battery temperature >40  C.
 
- When no function or capacity test can be triggered, "test locked" is displayed on the status screen. Locking occurs on following conditions:
  - deep discharge
  - faulty battery fuse
  - low battery voltage ( <230V)
  - active strong charge (MCHG)
  - mains failure in an UVC (sub distribution)
  - active (mains) (modified standby) state in an UVC (sub distribution)

- Minor bug fixes and enhancements


*** Web-Interface ***

- Known bug: The settings 40 minutes and 320 minutes of the capacity test duration are not present in the web interface.

- Bugfix: On page status.xml the setting keepalive inside the http request is not evaluated anymore (python urllib2)

- Bugfix: The model name in the <title>-Tag hat been corrected.

- The language Arabic (AE) has been removed.

- Vendor specific model names are shown in the web interface.

- The page admin/anlage.html has two buttons to operate the Web-BAS in order to turn the system into "operational" or "off (charging)". The state of BAS-switch, MSWC input and MCT-BAS is displayed. In order to turn the CBS "operational" all BAS-sources have to be in state "operational".
  The BAS-switch has priority over the Web-BAS and resets the Web-BAS to "operational" (BAS reset) when executing the sequence "operational -> off (charging) -> operational" on the switch.
  In case of a  NLSR (Z1) failure the system changes to "operational" 
  Requirement: Z2 with SW34 or higher 

- In the navigation the label "overview" has been replaced with the model name (e.g. Multicontrol plus).

- The page anlage_status.html has been extended with a list of all active faults in the fault memory.

- The page anlage_status.html shows more details (number of tested circuits, battery voltage, battery current) in the test overview.  

- The page anlage_status.html shows the programmed MMO functions as the number of programmed functions (text MMO has been replaced).

- On the stromkreis.html page is the state of the MMO inputs that triggered MB is shown with the configured MMO texts.

- Improved maintenance indicator: In the detailed view, and on the status page, the maintenance date along with the message "maintenance needed on"/"maintenance required since" is displayed with a background color. 14 days before the maintenance date, the background is yellow and red after expiration. In the compact view of the service message appears as a yellow dot with an exclamation mark or as a red dot (fault).

- Following has been added to the page anlage_info.html (support.html):
   - maintenance date 
   - readings of mains voltage, battery voltage, symmetry, current, temperature 
   - file system: size, used and free memory, dirty space percentage
   - BAS state in station (switch), MSWC (input) and all MCT 
   - MCHG jumper setting for battery type and charge current
  
- Minor bug fixes and enhancements


*** Offline-Tool ***

- Known bug: When using "scan" in the menu "detect modules" the offline tool freezes and is not usable anymore. Do not use the scan function !

- All circuit modules are shown with 6 MMO inputs, even on older circuit modules which support only 3 inputs (use the first three in that case).

- Minor bug fixes and enhancements
