Version 2 0 Initial Release Released December 20 2006 PMT 2 0 was developed to enhance the PMT user interface and create more efficient communications between PMT and attached RDP PLC products PMT 2 0 replaces PMT version 1 0 Important PMT 2 0 will not work with the PLCO33 or the RDP033 until they have been updated to System Release 122006 197 Features added supported in this version 1 2 Point picker now categorizes registers and provides a grid view to show used and available registers New simulator panel allows viewing and setting of the values of configured registers When not connected to the RDP PLC the simulator can be used to test logic Alarm Builder and Viewer have been added to provide alarm handling with PMT This includes the new callout feature available in the RDP180 Recent projects can be accessed and opened from the new projects panel New full screen mode has been added with password protection and touch screen support Software updates for the PLC RDP can be retrieved from the DFS OCS FTP server and installed on the device Installation notes PMT 2 0 installs to a different path and does not remove the previous version If images other than what is distributed in PMT 2 0 are used in existing projects they will need to be copied from C Program Files console images to C Program Files PMT images Once PMT 2 0 has been installed and tested shortcuts to the previous version of PMT should be
