Chiu has suggested that I use Comfig 4 that gets over the issue (as far as I can see I've NOT actually uploaded the file live only on non connected PC).

I'm really nervous about using Comfig 4 on older existing Comfort installations. 

Please bear in mind that we deal with some large properties that historically have large complex installations. I attach .cclx file of a property we are attending tomorrow. It developed a slave com fault and i have a 'new' slave panel (just purchased from Laser but not ARM !) to change out - the old slave is the large square chip type.
The main CPU is still on firmware 7.194

Can you give me some assurance that if I use Comfig 4 that its not all going to go horribly wrong !
So for example what testing as been done with C4 on larger older comfort installations ?
Has anybody else used C4 on older installs ?
Should I update the firmware to 8 ?]]>

Unfortunately we are unable to install 2 versions of comfigurator at once.Would it be possible to alter this so that we can run 3.12.16 at the same time as the most current version.
Would save us quite some time and would be useful for any one with older versions.

  • In Phone Numbers, when UCM/GSM4 is in the systrem, the Phone Permission checkboxes are missing for each user. They are enabled by default for all users
Bugs Fixed
  • KNX/Logic send text to id=01 (self) was invalid. This allows Status on bottom left to work
  • Divide action Parameters are fixed
  • In the Zones screen when the \"Status \" checkbox is checked to show the real time state of zones, when a zone state changes, the screen goes back to the top so higher numbered zones could not be seen easily. Now this has been improved so the zones screen does not jump when any zone state changes.

New Features/Changes
  • IRIO 0-10V  Dimmer Input switch added parameters \"Direction\" and \"Quick Press\" so that the switch can be used to dim up and dim down by long opress
  • IRIO analog outputs 0-10V added mapped on/off flag which turn off when the analog output value is 0 and turn on value is > 0. This flag controls an output which can be used to switch the analog output on or off
  • UCM/Cbus2 : When Imported from CBZ, the Register assignment is not  changed in Comfigurator if already mapped to Comfort Counter, Flag, Virtual Input etc. If a new Group address is imported, it is Unassigned (ie FF)
  • Register Monitor Window. This is a new window that allows selected Inputs, Outputs, Counters, Flags, and Sensors to be monitored for real time value. However, an issue is that  new file will also ask to log in, even when there is no register defined.
  • UCM/GSM4 added new 4G type 3 = 7600-LTE to support future LTE module

  • Slave 1 comms failure is reported as Door station -15 in status bar
  • When connecting to a Comfort with a different vocabulary from the cclx file, Comfigurator detects the vocabulary correctly, but when selecting words, the wrong wordlist is used (according to the cclx file, not Comfort). However after saving the file and opening again, the correct vocab is used
  • KNX/Logic gets exception when UCM/GSM4 was connected
New Features and Changes
  • UCM/Modbus – allow different modbus id on each Modbus to Comfort line.

So my response programming wasn\'t performed as expected because the expected state did not match reality.

After I manually (inside Comfigurator, under Comfort Registers/Flags) enabled Show Status, I was then able to set all of the flags that I use back to OFF. Things once again appeared nominal.

Now, I can code around this sort of scenario and reset them at opportune moments, but it\'s new behaviour that I\'ve not seen before with firmware updates that I\'ve applied.

Any thoughts? Did I do something wrong during the firmware update process and do I need to revise my procedures perhaps?

Known Issues
  1. Writing to EEPROM for UCM/KNX writes  empty data, so the group addresses mapping is lost
  2. For Selective Read for any comfigurator item, if the referenced Response is not present in Comfigurator responses, then the response becomes Null. eg If Time Program references Response 100, and Comfigurator does not have this response, then the Time Program response becomes Null Response. Selective Read should be done only for information purposes. A Full Read from Comfort is needed to know the correct program in Comfort. (old bug)
  3. For Graph References, if there are any references to HIO and TSM modules (new unreleased modules), an un-handled exception is seen
  4. In IRIO, any input function after selecting  the Register Type (eg Couter, Flag), is not able to select the Register Number (Counter or Flag number). The workaround is to go to another Input or screen and come back to the input to select the Comfort register.
  5. For KT03 using Counters and Outputs, the Counter and Outputs Reference to KT03 is not shown in blue in the Counters page and Outputs page (old bug)
  6. When the cclx file wordlist does not match the vocabulary (Voice) in Comfort, logging in to Comfigurator will change the wordlist to the one in Comfort, but the words selected in Zones and Control menu are still the wrong wordlist and the words written to Comfort will be the worng  wordlist . To work around, the Wordlist in Comfigurator must be changed manually to the one on Comfort before doing a write to Comfort (old bug)
  7. Reading from Comfort does not read the Daylight Saving table into Comfigurator (in Sunrise/Sunset Times), although the Sunrise/sunset times are read. (old Bug)
  8. If  UCM/Cbus2 is present, all zones are referenced to UCM/Cbus2 because of the Cbus2 Physical Inputs, even though the Physiacl Inputs are not mapped to Cbus (old Bug)
  9. In Flags, if Check Status box is checked for a flag, the status is updated, but if the flag changes subsequently, the flag status in the centre pane is not updated until you go to another page and back, or uncheck and check the box (old bug)
Bugs Fixed
  1. Read from Comfort  removed all the Modules from the modules tab
  2. Register References for TSM and HIO were not shown. However now Graph References causes exception.
  3. For IRIO \"Show References\" did not include the \"Summer/Winter Flag Name\"
  4. For IRIO, ISM07 Relay I/O, Blinds DC had \"Unhandled exception\" error when clicking on Pulse width. After changing Pulse Width or Min Pulse Gap, the properties of the submodule cannot be changed.
  5. For IRIO, Read from IRIO always has Travel time = 254 seconds
  6. In Control Menu, after selecting Feedback Types = Output, Flags or Zones/Inputs, the words for 0 = Off and 1 = On are automatically entered. This works correctly now.
New Features
  1. Support for new UCM/KNX2 with enhanced KNX Interface. UCM/KNX2 is still being tested and is not released yet.
  2. Graph References hover remains on for 30 seconds (instead of 10 seconds) so it is easy to read the Responses.
  3. For IRIO, the control and feedback registers have been changed. Control/Feedback Register combines the main Control and Feedback register into one register so that the user does not need to specify a separate control register and feedback register if they are the same. 3 other control registers allow scenes
  4. For IRIO, each Submodule properties window shows a summary of the assigned Outputs and Inputs Functions without having to select each Output/Input to find out the Function assigned
  5. In the Control Menu, if Feedback Type = Output, Zones, or Flag is selected, the action Keys 0 and 1 are automatically entered as Off and On respectively. This saves time in programming the Control Menu especially for use in the Comfort app. In a future Comfort firmware upgrade, pressing the Off and On buttons wil automatically cause the Flag, Output to be turned on or off.  However the \"Off\" and \"On\" words  cannot be seen in the Control Menu unless you go to another page and come back to it.

  1. Home Control Menu in some view modes did not work
  2. Graph References caused exception if a printer is not set up
  3. Fixed bugs in View modes
  4. IRIO when IR Signal Output was mapped to Counter and changed to Flag, an exception occured
  5.  In Modbus, if Display mode is Decimal when the file is opened, when you go to the Modbus to comfort, the display is hexadecimal. To show as decimal, you must change the mode to hexadecimal and back to Decimal, then the display is in Decimal.

New Features
  • Re-origanised the display of screens in Comfigurator categories to make it easier to access http://www.comfortforums.com/forum20/4763.html
  • View Mode: Automation has been added to other view modes (User, Simplified Engineer, Advanced Engineer, EMS). The view mode is now saved in the cclx file. Each default template has a default view mode. see http://www.comfortforums.com/forum20/4763.html
  • Added Multi-Convert actions (Action code 159) - Convert deg F to C, Deg C to F, Convert (0-99) to (0-255), Convert (0-255) to (0-99). From Firmware 7.128. http://www.comfortforums.com/forum20/4765.html
  • Added Action Code  Toggle Counter (action) 158. This treats the counter as a binary object. If the counter value is 0, it becomes 255. If the counter value is >0, it becomes 0. From firmware 7.100
  • KP04A/KP06A Properties - Tamper is disabled by default. Most users disable Tamper so default disable is more convenient
  • Status of Flags, Counters, Outputs can be set, cleared or value changed (for counters) http://www.comfortforums.com/forum20/4764.html

  • View Mode: Automation has been added to other view modes (User, Simplified Engineer, Advanced Engineer, EMS). The view mode is now saved in the cclx file. Each default template has a default view mode. see http://www.comfortforums.com/forum20/4763.html
  • Added Multi-Convert actions (Action code 159) - Convert deg F to C, Deg C to F, Convert (0-99) to (0-255), Convert (0-255) to (0-99). From Firmware 7.128. http://www.comfortforums.com/forum20/4765.html
  • Added Action Code  Toggle Counter (action) 158. This treats the counter as a binary object. If the counter value is 0, it becomes 255. If the counter value is >0, it becomes 0. From firmware 7.100
  • KP04A/KP06A Properties - Tamper is disabled by default. Most users disable Tamper so default disable is more convenient
  • Status of Flags, Counters, Outputs can be set, cleared or value changed (for counters) http://www.comfortforums.com/forum20/4764.html

Please download from https://www.cytech.biz/comfigurator.html for testing
Please note that 3.12.1 is the last version that is supported on Windows XP

Comfigurator 3.11.14 introduces changes to simplify programming, as well as new and powerful features. This is for testing for advanced users only. It will be eventually released as Comfigurator 3.12

Categories
The Categories on the left pane have been rearranged to simplify programming.



For example, the \"Security\" and \"Security Types\" Categories have been combined into \"Alarms\"




\"Comfort Registers\" is a new category which combines screens from \"Events\" and \"Names\". It puts together all the registers in one place.




View > Modes

Added modes which hide Comfigurator features that are not relevant to the situation or are not often needed,
    • Simplified Engineer Mode
    •EMS (Environmental Monitoring System)





The Simplified Engineer Mode hides advanced features that are seldom needed to simplify programming;
User Mode and Engineer Mode are the existing modes




Note that this feature is not complete. Further enhancements will be made to improve it.

Show/Change Status

This allows the real time state of Flags, counters, outputs which are mapped to KNX, CBus, HIO to be seen directly in the modules and the state to be changed or controlled in the module. This is a very useful tool for testing the mapping in both directions

 KNX
    • KNX to Comfort
    • Outputs to KNX
    • Flags to KNX
    • Sensors to KNX
    • Counter to KNX 1 bit and 1 byte

eg in KNX to Comfort, the mapped flags and Counter status can be seen



The Show status box when checked alows the state of the mapped flag to be seen
Furthermore the state can be changed to on or off



When a KNX group is mapped to Counter, the valuye of the counter can be seen and changed


Cbus
    • Lighting
    • Trigger
    • Enable
    • Measurement (sensor)
HIO
    • in channels when mapped to flags or counters

Partitions
Status Outputs - Partition Siren Outputs can be assigned for Partition 0 to 3

    • Partition 0 Siren Output
    • Partition 1 Siren Output
    • Partition 2 Siren Output
    • Partition 3 Siren Output



This means that each partition can have its own siren output, apart from the main (common) Siren/Bell output. The output can drive a Siren /Bell Output by connecting to a relay

Known Issues
  1. IRIO- ISM03 - Input Function Current Sensor mapped to Comfort Sensors - Sensor references are not shown or displayed in Blue
  2. IRIO - ISM07 - Input Functions Analog Input and Resistive Sensor mapped to Comfort Sensors - Sensor references are not shown or displayed in Blue
Modbus Configurator

  1. For Comfort to Modbus, the Comfort registers for Discrete Inputs added Output, Output Toggle, Output Pulse, Virtual Input, Counter, Sensor, Flag, Arm, Panic, Bypass zone.  Discrete Inputs and Input Registers now have the same Comfort register types
  2. Comfort Registers for Coils and Holding Registers are the same, ie Physical Input, Counter, Flag, Sensor. Holding Registers added Physical Inputs, Flags
  3. In Modbus to Comfort, when Comfort register is mapped to Modbus, the Show Status Box allows the Comfort register eg Counter, Flag to show the real time value (allowing the comfort register changes due to modbus to be seen), and allows the value of the register  to changed in the status box (allowing the effect in Modbus Registers to be tested).
Upgrade Firmware by UCMJ Programming Cable
  1. For the process of upgrading firmware by UCM programming cable, when the upgrade fails or succeeds, the message \"Scan for Modules Yes/No\" at the end has been  removed. This is because Scan for modules does not work while UCM programming cable is connected, and the message leads to users attemting to scan for modules and failing

Alternative Phrases on Control Menu
  1. In previous Comfigurator versions,  we can enter alternative phrases in Control Group, Control Key and Control actions.However if the Phrase words are empty, the Control menu does not show the group, key or action and they appear as empty.Alternative Phrase is now displayed in the Control menu list if the phrase words are empty. In fact even if there is both alternative phrase and Phrase words, the Alternative Phrase should take precedence. This is to make it easier to create the control menu when the voice menu is not needed eg for the comfort apps or for Logic Engine LGX01 and UCM/Logic which do not have voice

HIO

Added Properties for
  1. Doorbell Occupancy Hold Time,
  2. Window A/C Off Dim Level 1,
  3. Window A/C Off Dim Level 2
  4. Occupancy Off Dim level 1,
  5. Occupancy Off Dim level 2
IRIO
  1. Relay I/O added Input Function Analog Input
KT05
  1. Added new Keypad type

Bugs Fixed
  1.  Fixed Bug in Functions: If Blinds  or Thermostats are assigned to Outputs, the Outputs references are shown in Blue but the references are empty
  2. Alternative phrases in Control Menu - Fixed bug when alternative phrase is added and deleted, it still remains as \"\" and cause problem wrong display in App
  3. Fixed bug  new field GSM Module Type is getting the correct value by \"Read from EEPROM\" but is not saved with the file When the saved file is opened, the field is Unknown
  4. Fixed bug in  IRIO -There is no \"None\" option available for the submodule type drop-down list If one of the types is chosen by mistake, the field  cannot be reverted to \"None\" (other than \"Reset to Default\"). 
Changes

  1. In Write to Comfort, \"Write User Codes\" has been removed. This may cause accidental overwrite of user codes which had been changed by keypad. Write User Codes can be done in Security > Sign in Codes where there is \"Write User Codes\" and \"Read User Codes\"
New Features
  1. [color=\"#ff0000\"]Counters, Flags, Sensors, Outputs - Show Status can show the current state of the registers. Now you can also write values to these registers. This is great for testing mapping to KNX, Cbus, Zwave, Modbus, RIO, HIO etc
    [/color]
  2. Names of Zones, Outputs, Counters, Flags Sensors. The character \'_\" can be inserted before the name so that when the register is selected for mapping in eg IRIO, HIO, UCM/KNX and other UCMs, the underscored registers appear in the top of the list for easy selection. Otherwise selection is by alphabetic order. eg Counter Name _StudyLight would be at the top of the list ahead of Counter001, Counter002 etc
IRIO
  1. New Field Temperature Calibration Offset for the Thermistor temperature adjustment
HIO
  1. New Field Temperature calibration offset in HIO
  2. New  Property for source/sink current for LED to vater for different type of ELV switch
  3. Added  mapping for some elements MUR, DND etc in channels
UCM/Modbus
  1. When TCP Interface is selected, the link to Comfort Server Manager is seen in Modbus Properties, so there is no need to go to Options > Settings to selecft the Universal UCM IP address and Port for Modbus/TCP
  2. In Modbus Slave Mode, a new tab Modbus Server is seen. This gives ALL the modbus addresses assigned to Comfort registers in Decimal and Hexadecimal for easy reference - no need to calculation or lookup of the manual
  3. Added Monitor Mode for Modbus communications. This shows transmitted and Received modbus messages, which is a great help when testing the connection and communication
More illustration of these changes will follow

Please download from this beta version from https://www.cytech.biz/download_files.php?item_id=980

Is it safe to use? Yes, but for minor issues yet to be discovered

Carry on Comfiguring!

  1. In Flags screen, if Check Status box is checked for a flag, the status is updated, but if the flag changes subsequently, the flag status in the centre pane is not updated until you go to another page and back, or uncheck and check the box (old bug)
  2. In Modbus configurator, Sensors cannot be mapped to Modbus
  3. for TSM, if older firmware eg TSM 7.001 has read from EEPROM, this may cause  an exception. Workaround is to upgrade TSM to  the latest (7.003) firmware first
Bugs Fixed
  1. \"If Input\" comparison action did not work for Input > 64 to 96. This also applies for older versions
  2. Deg C /deg F in Comfiguration flags is incorrect
  3. Comfort Optimum when adding  UCM/KNX2 caused exception
  4. Read from KP06A or KP04A does not change the KP06A/KP04A settings  in Comfigurator
  5. IRIO IR codes do not refresh when new IR codes are learned. Refresh button is needed
  6. Default template def40.cctx for UCM/Logic is missing from the installation.
  7. Export Scenario dis not work. Selecting any items will cause an exception
New Features
TSM01
  1. Added parameters; Heating / Cooling Mode, Virtual Input, Heating/Cooling Output, Virtual Alarm Offset, Calibration Offset. This implements the Temperature Alarm Monitoring feature which maps to Virtual Input to trigget the Temperature Alarm. New Temperature Alarm Type, TempNO Zone Type added to defaults.
HIO
  1. Added Lighting Sequence Timer Parameter for delay between each light turning off in Occupancy Detection Mode
IRIO
  1. Added Resistive Sensor Input Functions
UCM/Modbus
Supports the new UCM/Modbus. New Product will be announced soon

After the above I then did a whole load of updates for the control menu,  and added the irio configuration. This was again saved, but not uploaded as the irio isn\'t connected yet.

Tonight I have fired up comfigurator, selected the file,  and got the above. 
I have opened the file in notepad and it generally looks ok (I don\'t have the schema so can\'t validate it against that).

On a different subject (so probably needs a different topic, unless it\'s related):
  • For some reason it\'s not recognised the login codes,  and is stuck on the default.
  • pressing the door bell announces just fine,  but doesn\'t ring the phones. The phones are wired just as they were for comfort 1, which worked great. The phones ring for incoming calls. Looking at one phone it\'s light flashes,  and if I pick it up the line is dead for a few seconds.
  • I need to query the status first before doing an upload,  else it fails to find the ucm.
If it helps I can email or attach the configuration file. Or is there a debug log or something I should look at ?
Thanks in advance. ]]>
