3 AX Software Suite 2019 Version

1.86 AddOn RFC 460R PN 3TX-S
3.1 General information
This section describes all changes made between the
current version of the AUTOMATIONWORX Software Suite
2019 V1.86 AddOn RFC 460R PN 3TX-S and the previously
released version AUTOMATIONWORX Software Suite
2018 V1.86.
Please note:
It is not possible to operate the software using the GUEST
user account.
The software supports operation under Windows 7 Service
Pack 1, Windows 8.1, and Windows 10 (as of build 1511,
32-bit/64-bit). The software can no longer be used under
Windows XP and older operating systems.
Precondition for the installation of the AddOn is an installed
AUTOMATIONWORX Software Suite 2019 V 1.86.
3.2 PC Worx
RFC 460R PN 3TX-S

After installing this AddOn, you can create projects in
PC Worx with the high-availability Remote Field Controller
RFC 460R PN 3TX-S with redundancy function
(Order No.: 1096407) from firmware version 5.30 onward.
Known errors and limitations

– Changing device names after replacing the controller in
the bus configurator
If you replace the controller with the
RFC 460R PN 3 TX-S in existing PC Worx projects with
the Complex Devices Exchange Wizard, the names of
controllers that are integrated into the bus configuration
as PROFINET devices may be changed.

The PC WORX BASIC LIC item (Order No. 2985275) is

6.2 PC Worx
Error corrections
– AXC 3050 Modbus configuration
If projects were created with PC Worx 6.30.2349 for the
AXC 3050 using Modbus, this led to a compiler error,
even with the correct settings:
„The configuration file could not be created: Unknown
error code“.
– PROFINET compiler error
The use of PROFINET devices in which individual
modules contained several submodules with process
data that was linked to variables in the user program led
to a PROFINET compiler error:
„Overlaying or overlapping of two process data items of
the device!“.

Error corrections 15.4 AX OPC Server

– User-defined data types
Support of the PC WORX SRT controller
User-defined data types that have been used in the
global variable list, led to a crash of PC Worx when the From Version 3.0.82 onwards the AX OPC server supports
“Process Data Workspace” was opened. the PC WORX SRT controller.
– IP addresses of Ethernet interfaces
For controllers with several Ethernet interfaces, the IP
addresses of the individual Ethernet interfaces must not
be located in a subnet.
To date, the correct configuration caused a warning
message.
This error has been rectified. From now on, PC Worx
reports an error when the IP addresses are located in
the same subnet.

– Moving controllers in the bus structure
When you move a controller in the “Bus Structure”
window, it may happen that the IP address of the
controller is changed to the next free valid address.
– Path where installation is stored
During installation of the
AUTOMATIONWORX Software Suite the memory path
must not contain a period “.”. This will cause the
software to crash when started.
– Error when a new project is created
When you create a new project the “Error during
copying the assemblies” error message may appear.
In this case, close PC Worx and then open the tool
“Security Settings” via the menu “Start, All Programs,
Phoenix Contact,
AUTOMATIONWORX Software Suite XX, Tools” in the

After the tool has been completed, the error will no
longer occur when a new project is created.
– Error when using the FDT/DTM functions
The latest DTM version must be installed when a
Generic HART DTM from ICS GmbH is used. Generic
HART DTM version < 5.3 cause problems when the
project is saved with PC Worx.
– Interactions with Startup+
Parallel operation of programs from the
AUTOMATIONWORX Software Suite and Startup+ is
usually possible. However, when you remove a
program it is necessary to do a repair installation for the
product that is to remain on the PC.

message is likely to appear if a PROFINET device was
added in the bus configuration. At the beginning of the
compilation process, the bus configuration is saved at
first when using the “Make” or “Rebuild Project”
function. During the compilation process, addresses
are calculated which are written back to the bus
configuration. This is the reason why the above
message is output when transmitting the project. The
result after compilation already contains the
modifications so that transmission could be continued.
During transmission with source code, the bus
configuration that was present before compilation
would be sent to the controller. For safety reasons, the
“Make” function should therefore be called again prior
to transmission.
– Use of touch displays
When using type TD 1030T touch displays, all signals
of the touch display must be linked to variables in the
control program; only then, the device configuration is
valid. Otherwise, the “I/O variable 'PND_~' does not
match any I/O group” error message is output. The
variables, especially the string variables for the labels,
should be pre-initialized with useful values, however,
they must not necessarily be used in the program code.

– Changes in forwarding process data from lower-level directly in the Ethernet Topology.
INTERBUS systems
The following items have been changed concerning the
forwarding of lower-level process data to the higher-
level controller system in Config+:
– The base address has been removed completely
from the system. It has no more impact, even in old
projects with a base address set.
– The "System Coupler" tab has been removed. Its
functionality is now covered by the "Direct Data
Links" tab.
– The signal view (on the bottom right in the process
data dialog) is extended by the process data of the
system coupler card (special device number
0.240). This allows to assign host addresses of the
lower-level controller as well. Unlike the previous
Config+ solution, I/Os are now no more forwarded
to the higher-level system via the MPM, but as a
real direct link as done in the previous CMD
software.
