Axon Test Changelog

What's new in Axon Test 4.3.2.3

Sep 1, 2017
  • The command window now displays a new output command tab, which brings the output signals configured in a Modbus master, a DNP4 master, or a 104 master. This new tab is divided into two sections, one for the Digital outputs and another for analog outputs.
  • DNP3 slave can now simulate Binary Output Status and Analog Output Status signals. These are within the categories of digital inputs and analog inputs respectively.
  • Slave and Master IEC-60870-5-104 implement the 2006 version of the protocol standard.
  • Slave IEC-60870-5-104 allows to simulate new data types: Normalized Measurements without Quality and Bitstring. It also allows to execute Bitstring commands (associated with analog signals whose data type is Bitstring) and Regulating commands (associated with analog signals whose data type is Step Position) sent from a Master.
  • The advanced command interface for IEC-60870-5-104 master devices now has new commands: Start_DT and Stop_DT, Test Command and Reset Process Command.
  • Modifications in the advanced command interface for DNP3 master devices.
  • The output signals of the IEC-60870-5-104 and DNP3 slave devices have a "Select Required" parameter. If this is enabled, it indicates that it is necessary to receive a Select command before accepting an Execute / Operate command.
