BACeye Software Versionshinweise

Version 3.0.4.4
2022-06-01 (Latest)

New Feature:

  • Detection of inconsistencies in BACnet networks. Duplicate device ID and duplicate BACnet router to the same network will be detected in the network scan

Improvement:

  • In display of BACnet network numbers the network, that BACeye is directly connected too, is now marked as “Local(###)”. First versions of BACeye used the number zero for that purpose, recent versions started with zero but changed to the actual number after learning the real network number

  • New detailed dialogs for displaying and modifying Event Parameters and Fault Parameters in Event Enrollment objects

  • Improved work flow in dialog for assigning custom unit names

Fix:

  • Incomplete Foreign Device configuration could formerly crash on save

  • In rare cases the dialog for “Demo Version” would pop up even in a licensed product

Several Bugfixes and small improvements

New Feature:

  • Display of a “connection state”, that will show whether BACeye is successfully connected to the BACnet network.

  • Support for Dynamic Object Binding. BACeye can now initiate WhoHas requests and display IHave answers.

  • For the “Floating License” we support a new type of dongle which does not require a low level device driver. This should reduce problems with windows updates.

Improvement:

  • Better fallback strategies when reading and writing file object contents

Fix:

  • FailoverHub setting for BACnet/SC would not become active.

  • Reading BBMD settings in devices could fail with a very long timeout. One reason for failing has been fixed and the process can be manually stopped when it takes too much time.
