    5.15.585.0

    7/22/2014

    • Prevented the driver from immediately closing the socket connection when there is no client reference for a device. Instead, the driver will wait for the next Keep Alive before closing the socket.
    • Fixed an issue where the driver would not refresh the TCP socket if either the IP Address or port was changed and the Connection Timeout setting was modified.
    • Fixed an issue where the driver could stop receiving packets due a timeout.
    • Fixed a threading issue that could cause a channel to stop communicating.

    5.13.191.0

    10/15/2013

    • Resolved an issue where the driver would not send a start command before reissuing the last command (on a retry attempt) if the socket was closed.
    • Fixed an issue where the driver refreshed the TCP socket when the Connection Timeout setting was modified.

    2/21/2012

    5.7.84.0

    10/24/2011

    • Fixed an issue where the driver was not correctly updating or invalidating certain internal driver tags. This prevented the server from providing timely updates to AsynchIO2/AsynchIO3 read requests and prevented the driver from providing correct last tightening results due to invalid status of the LTR_NEWDATA bit.

    5.6.122.0

    7/25/2011

    • Added support for the Ford Ethernet Protocol (FEP) variation of Open Protocol. The driver now supports two models: Open Protocol and FEP.

    6/9/2010

    • A new setting was added under the Device Properties page to set the error state when a device fails to respond to writes or subscription requests.
