DBDOC 11.2 is ready to go!

We're excited to release DBDOC 11.2!  This version really capitalizes on the groundwork laid in DBDOC 11.0 and 11.1 to present some game changing new features. 

Hyperview has thumbnail images in indexes.

Thumbnail images can now be shown in the indexes for all graphical document types. Thumbnails are generated when the dbdoc file is built, and are cached on the build machine.



          

Hyperview highlights signal lines and show input/output trees.

Mousing over a signal line on a CAD/CLD sheet now causes it to be highlighted, with a tooltip showing block number and signal quality.   You can now have Hyperview display the trees of input and output signals for any block.




Latest ABB versions supported

Supported ABB software versions include SPE 2.3, SPO 3.2, 800xA PG2 6.0, GPI, HPG, HGS.

BuildPlus has a new look, and new features.

BuildPlus icons have been updated, and toolbar buttons rearranged for clarity.


A new interface makes it easier to manage your DBDOC license.

Graphics and document support has been extended.

Extensive improvements have been made to SPlus graphics support, in the areas of live data hotspots, formatting, tags, fonts, and colors.  Extensive improvements have been made to 800xA PG2 support, in the areas of searchable text, dynamic bars, pseudotags, and graphics rendering.

There are improved automatically generated links on PDF files, and JPG images are now supported in AutoCAD drawings.

Other system changes

Software license keys are now supported, custom Function Code Support(Composer 6.5 S+ Engineering 1.3) has been added, and support for PG2 XLS (800xA Display Documentation) files has been removed.

Live data improvements

A new indicator in CIUMonController shows whether a CIUMon is able to provide data.  In addition, CIUMon can now recover automatically when RoviSys OPC90 temporarily hangs.

And much more!

You will find these updates, and many more bug-fixes and improvements in DBDOC 11.2

Accelerate your live data with RoviSys Turbo!


Whether or not you have DBDOC, your INFI 90® System can use RoviSys Turbo. RoviSys Turbo makes DBDOC live data five to ten times faster. Composer alone is typically ten times faster when monitoring. There is no extra communication loading.

How does it work? RoviSys is the first to make use of capability in the CIU and IET800 to fetch up to 16 analogs or 16 digitals in a single GMI fetch. Setting up your IET800 with OPC90 to gain the advantages of turbo polling is straightforward and uses standard ABB parts. 

10x faster with no extra load!

RoviSys Turbo gets up to 16 analog or digital values from a module in one message, improving monitoring significantly at no extra communications load.

Put spare CIUs to good use

RoviSys Turbo can handle multiple CIUs and IET800s - serial, SCSI and ethernet. Make use of spare CIUs by providing added cabability for power users, or increasing the amount of data fetched.

Share a CIU or IET800

Use what you’ve got! RoviSys Turbo can support Composer and DBDOC at the same time using one CIU or IET800. Composer is given priority over DBDOC, while DBDOC makes good use of the CIU when available.
