xEnergy Configurator

Version 1/2019 contains the following improvements.

Highlights:

• The xEnergy Safety Configurator has been completely revised in line with product updates.
• The product ranges have been updated as of January 2019.
• With the new "Undo" and " Redo" functions, one or more last actions can be undone.
• The memory (RAM) usage of the configurator has been optimized.
• The speed when creating components and duplicating distribution boards has been improved.
• In xEnergy Main it is possible to create German tender texts for the complete low-voltage main distribution.

Summary of changes and additions with respect to version R741:

• When opening old projects, an info message appears. The user can choose to open the project, make a backup copy before opening, or not open the project. In any case, opening the project causes a conversion to the latest version.
• In addition to the function to import a database or license file via drag and drop, new menu items have been created. These menu items can be used to import and manage license files and databases.
• In addition to the standard Eaton material database, a user material database can be used. This makes it possible to create your own material and manage it independently of the standard material database.
• The following measures have significantly improved the use of the Configurator's memory (RAM):
  1. The Configurator application can use more than 2 GB of memory when used on 64-bit operating systems. The configurator itself remains a 32-bit application for the time being.
  2. When the Configurator is started, not all xEnergy systems are read in (Basic, Light, Safety, Main). As a result, considerably less RAM is used when the Configurator is started. Only when creating a project with a specific system are the necessary rule set files loaded. In addition, the start time of the Configurator is significantly reduced.
  3. A separate program instance is used for each open project. By reducing it to one project per instance, the required RAM is limited to this project.
  4. When creating elements in the Configurator, more memory was used than was actually required for the new elements. The memory requirement is now kept to a minimum even after a new element has been created.
  5. Unused (e.g. old) material databases are always closed and removed from the RAM.
  6. No longer needed memory will be released as soon as possible to always have as much memory available as possible.
• The speed of duplicating sections / enclosures and entire distribution boards equipped with components has been improved.
• The speed of component creation has been improved under the following circumstances:
  1. A module is selected in which there is still sufficient installation space available for the new component.
  2. A component is selected that is installed in a module in which there is still sufficient installation space available for the new component.
  3. If the distribution board or the project is selected, either the last element found as installation location or the last selected element is selected.
  4. If the currently selected element is not suitable for installation, either the last element found as the installation location or the last selected element is selected.
  5. If a panel / enclosure is selected, it is searched first as before for the installation space.
• The new Multiple Selection option allows multiple elements to be selected together and then deleted or copied and pasted.
• Fixed a bug that caused the location names to be duplicated.
• Fixed an error that occurred when opening a project copy created with the Save As function.
• The incorrect display of the category names "Flat Copper" and "Stabilizer/Supporter" in the shopping cart was corrected.
• In the shopping cart errors with the categories were corrected, by the error articles in the shopping cart were not correctly displayed or hidden.
• When copying graphic or text elements, the relative position of the graphic element to the parent element is now retained when copying the parent element.
• The NZM ruleset has been completely revised, i.e. the order of the properties and the underlying configuration rules have been changed.
• Errors in the settings of the PIFT protection devices have been fixed.
• The parts lists for the current transformers of the NH protection devices FCFSD, NHW and PIFT have been revised.
• In the xEnergy Main XF section a bug in the graphics of the NZM3 with withdrawable AVE was fixed.
• In the xEnergy Main the NH and PIFT sections show the connection direction of the cables.
• In the xEnergy Main the documentation for the busway connections has been updated.
• In the xEnergy Main XR section the configuration rules for the module doors have been corrected.
• In the xEnergy Main XP section the documentation for the IZMX circuit breakers has been updated.
• In xEnergy Basic an error with the calculation of the height indicator in connection with the option "Socket" was fixed.
• The xEnergy Basic and Light mounting kits have been updated for the NZM PXR trip electronics.
• In xEnergy Basic the 4-pole flexible busbar BPZ-KB-24/250 has been added.
• Fixed a preview error in xEnergy Basic and Light that occurred when "DummyMainGroup" and/or "DummySubGroup" were present.
• In xEnergy Light an error with the installation of the N or PE busbar was fixed.
• In xEnergy Light a bug in the preview of the busbar terminals AKU was fixed.
• In the EP installation system, an error with the horizontal and vertical partitions was fixed, the error caused existing installation kits to be moved.
• In the EP installation system an error in the parts list of the EP DIN rail modules was corrected.
• The downsizing of EP and Profi+ DIN modules equipped with components has been improved. The built-in components will be moved to a new DIN module if they can't find space in the smaller module.
