TIA Portal Update Enhances Stability and ARRAY Access Handling

New Features:

• In Update 3, it is once again possible to link to the parameter "DEST_ARRAY", an operand whose access path contains an ARRAY with a variable index.

Enhancements:

• Stability when working with the TIA Portal has been improved, partly based on feedback from returned crash reports.

Fixed Bugs:

• In rare cases, no check was performed for ARRAY access errors if the access was performed in a loop. This behavior has been corrected; in case of ARRAY access errors, the CPU goes to STOP or performs a programmed error handling operation.

Open Issues:

Nothing known
