Updated in version 1.9.1.4: .1 Build 1

- New features
• Network Scan – It’s possible to scan the PROFIBUS net to set up slaves automatically.

- Updated files
• New version of Transport Provider – Updated to use Transport Provider 2.9.1.1.
• Latest GSD files for all HMS products

- Bug fixes
• Many crashes/bugs in GSD_DLL – Multiple possible spin- and deadlocks removed.

Updated in version 1.8.1 Build 01:

- Updated files
• New version of HMSTPRTR.DLL – Updated the Transport Provider library to version 1.8.1.
Changed the version number to match the Transport Provider.
• Added MSVBVM50.DLL – The Microsoft Visual Basic Virtual Machine 5.0 is not included in
Windows 7, so this file is needed to run the application.

Updated in version 1.6.1 Build 01:

- Bug fixes
• Compact (non-modular) devices will always use slot 0 – Now compact device always start from
slot 0 and not start on a slot based on Module_Offset in GSD-file. ID: 0003393.
• Fixed problem when Ext_Module_Prm_Data_len was missing in GSD-file – Fixed a bug that
made NetTool crash when Ext_Module_Prm_Data_len was missing in the GSD-file. ID: 0003216.
• Open right GS*-file when user selects “Open GS*-file with viewer” in Monitor/modify mode. –
The GS*-file for the selected node is now opened when selecting “Open GS*-file with viewer”
instead of always opening the GS*-file for the first node in the Network. ID: 0003813.

Updated in version 1.5.2 Build 01:

• Updated TELE09CD.gsd

Updated in version 1.5.1 Build 01:

• Fixed bug #3667. The slave record generated by NetTool was empty when more than 63 modules are
added to the configuration.

language in windows is used if a language xml file for that language exists, else English is used as
default.
