KeyFrame Animator: fixed a bug where removing a component involved in a keyframe animation prevented any animations from loading. The system now loads all available animations, excluding only those related to the missing component.
UDC Editor: added support for multiple selection within the tree hierarchy window.
EtherNet/IP Driver: introduced a new driver with extensive PLC support:
Rockwell/Allen-Bradley: support for ControlLogix (via CIP-EtherNet/IP), Micro 850, and legacy models (PLC-5, SLC 500, and MicroLogix) via CIP or DH+ bridges (e.g., LGX chassis with DHRIO module).
Omron: support for NX/NJ series PLCs.
I/O Drivers: implemented a new auto-reset routine. If a driver encounters an error, communications can now be restored directly from the simulation menu by disconnecting/reconnecting the driver, without exiting the simulation.
UI Editor: navigation within Property Grid fields is now possible using the TAB key.
Robots & IK: the Route graph node now returns True once the specified route has completed its execution.
Mouse 3D: fixed the Focus function in Editor mode and improved interactive component detection in Simulation mode after driver selection.
Gantry Small: corrected test limits during manual adjustment.
Grip Systems: grip systems for Gantry Small, Gantry, Robot Island, and Pick & Place are now fully compatible with the Vision Sensor.
WorkPartCreator: fixed creation intervals (both fixed and random) for "bunch" creation mode. Additionally, WorkParts created in bunches no longer collide with each other when spawned simultaneously.
PalletLoader: fixed an issue where OffsetP1/OffsetP2/OffsetP3/OffsetP4 properties were not being saved correctly in the Editor.
Drivers Window: the close icon has been removed from driver settings; windows must now be closed using the Accept or Cancel buttons to prevent potential software freezing.
Marketplace: starting with this version, you can now manage external content downloaded from the Nirtec Asset Store.
Licenses Management: users can now log in using only their username and password, removing the need for a license code. The server license limit has been increased to 50 seats. Additionally, an automated logout feature now clears device assignment upon closing the software, making it easier to switch between computers.
Integration with Visual Studio Code: edit your Machines Simulator scripts directly in VS Code.
WorkPart Trigger: now includes a digital I/O signal to trigger actions.
WorkPart: adds a new function to fix it to a UDC component.
Router Component: new property to face the direction of movement.
Push Button & LED Light: added light intensity control function.
New Image area UI component: to show 2D image in the UI screen.
Updates: Added a Check for Updates button in the settings menu. Also for USB licenses.
Module Updates: updated Tutorial Manager (v2.7.0), MS Virtual Reality (v1.44.0), and Server License Manager (v2.0.0) to support the new authentication flow.
