Comfigurator 3.3.1 has been released. This is a very important release as it allow Firmware upgrade by Bus and Direct connection.

The changes from 3.2.8 (these include changes in 3.2.9 and 3.3.0) are;

New Features

  • Reading From Comfort had a problem then Responses Names and Descriptions had no information so it was difficult to work out what the Responses did. Now there is an option to "Autogenerate Descriptions and Names" from the actions where Comfigurator will try to generate meaningful Names and Descriptions for each Response. This will be a great help in trying to figure out how the system has been programmed if the original cclx file has been lost. WARNING - Due to BUG described below, reading to Comfort may affect the virtual Input properties of the zone, so avoid writing a configuration after reading from Comfort
  • The "Delete Unreferenced Responses" function has been changed to  "Delete Unreferenced and Unfixed" Responses". Unreferenced Responses may be used by third party devices via the Do Response command so Deleting Unreferenced Responses would have deleted these Responses. Responses which are used but not referenced can be "fixed" to avoid this. Fixed  Responses show in bold, and their Response number is changed when new responses are added or deleted.
  • Supports Direct Firmware upgrade of KT03 and UCM connected to PC. This requires firmware UCM 6.000 and KT03 6.000 and above
  • Supports Firmware Upgrade by Comfort Bus of modules SEMs, UCMs connected to 3rd party systems (eg Comfort, KP06, KNX, CBus, Velbus, Universal, GSM). Modules with firmware 6.000 and above can be upgraded by Comfort Bus
  • Prompts for "Press F0 on Keypad" when doing firmware upgrade by direct connection (ie to UCM or KT03) or by Comfort Bus
  • Shows meaning of Error messages when any error encountered during Firmware upgrade
  • CMS account codes allow Hex codes B to F as well as 0 to 9
  • Response wizard creating KNX commands are default 3 level format instead of 2 level format
  • Number of retries for some commands in Comfigurator chaged from 3 to 1 to reduce delays when there is no reply. Time out allowed has been increased for each command. 
  • KNX Physical address Area was limted to 1 to 15. Now Area 0 can be specified The Line number used to be  1 to 15. Now Line 0, or Main Line can be specified. Physicall Address number used to be 1 to 200, now allows 1 to 255
Bug Fixes
  • When reading a .CCL file created by Comfigurator 2, the Modules tab showed 8 UCMs, although the number of UCMs in Configuration > Number of UCMs is 1.  Now the number of UCMs in the Modules tab will be that in Modules and Settings.
  • If actions 12 (Exit if Z) and 13 (Exit if NZ) are manually entered by keypad or by editing action codes, Comfigurator created the wrong action codes.
  • If actions 69 (Skip if >= value ) and 70 (Skip if < value ) are manually entered by keypad or by editing action codes, Comfigurator creates the wrong action codes. Action 69 and 70 are older actions which are not created by the Response wizard but may be used in older systems
  • Fixed problem with IF condition when it follows a previous IF statement or if it is nested within another IF statement
  • Time-out for commands have been increased to 6 seconds so that Firmware Upgrade commands will not time out.
  • Fixed Bug in Bus Monitor, and add firmware upgrade command descriptionFixed BUG SCS/RIO ID could be set to 0
  • Fixed BUG KP06 wrongly scanned as KP03
  • Fixed BUG KT03 could not be used to Write to EEPROM for KNX and other modules if a UCM firmware was too old (which is not relevent because it is KT03 which is being used to write to the external UCMs EEPROM)
  • Fixed BUG - Reading a ccl file with Siren Duration < 1 second caused the siren Duration to be 0 resulting in an indefinate siren duration
  • new release of Comfort Bus Monitor fixed bugs
  • In KT03 Configurator, reading from KT03 in Portrait orientation causes images to be corrupted.
  • In KT03 Configurator, Landscape Orientation, after writing and reading from KT03, active and inactive images are swapped
  • For Connection Settings > USB, if "Via KT03" is selected by mistake, the box can be unchecked and have effect without having to close the software
  • Prevent Event Log from going above 100%
  • Number of SCS/RIO in Modules and settings had no limit
Known Issues

  • Rs232 connection will not be able to connect  if "Via USB"  was checked in USB connection, then changed to RS232 connection
  • IR learner checkbox for "old UCM" has not been implemented
  • In the KT03 Configurator, when zones are selected, then the zone name or properties are changed in Security > Zones, the KT03 affected zone does not track the changes. eg zone 2 is called zone 2 but if you change zone 2 name to something else, in KT03, the zone 2 name and text is not changed
  • Read Zones from Comfort may change the setting of Virtual Inputs incorrectly. Avoid reading from Comfort and writing back to Comfort for this reason as some normal zones may become Virtual and vice versa
  • If the Sound Type Name is changed, the Siren Type which points to the sound type is not updated
  • CMS Account code does not allow hexadecimal digits B to F 
  • CMS Acccount code misses leading zero, eg 0123 is written as 123. To workaround use Engineer Menu 4 for Phone numbers, enter Phone index 1, select 4 for CMS, 1 to enter Account code.
  • In Options > Settings > UCM Connections when USB is selected, It is easy to inadvertently select "Via KT03" checkbox under the USB serial number. This will cause the USB connection not to work if not connected by KT03.
  • Error Message  "Number of modules do not match the number in Modules and settings" when opening a cclx file where UCM ID #1 is not present
  • When LU00 is sent by Comfort, Comfigurator did not disconnect from an Ethernet or USB connection, so when you try to log in again it fails to connect and gives error message "No Response from UCM" because Comfigurator did not re-connect to the UCM
  • RS report from Comfort does not log out Comfigurator from the UCM
These known issues are not necessarily introduced in this version - they may have existed in previous versions but were not identified

A bug has been found which affects READ from Comfort
Reading  Zones from Comfort may change the setting of Virtual Inputs incorrectly. Avoid reading from Comfort and writing back to Comfort for this reason as some normal zones may become Virtual and vice versa
This bug is not new to Comfigurator 3.3.1. It applies to older version as well
