Release Notes for iX Developer 3
Issue Cloud-based storage services
Simultaneous app transfer/activity
Converting an old iX 2.x project, using Simatic S7 ISO/TCP driver, to iX3 Data is not saved when cutting power too fast after doing a change
Emerson ROC Import Module
Description Cloud-based storage services (such as Google Drive, One Drive or Dropbox) can pose challenges with iX since they might lock files when handling file changes.
Do not transfer another iX app to the device directly after an iX app transfer, i.e. when the previously installed app is installing or starting. Let the transferred iX app install and start, before transferring the next one. Also do not transfer a new app at the same time as the installed app is uninstalling. The S7 ISO/TCP driver is new in iX developer 3.0 and has to be opened in iX developer 2.53 before converting to iX developer 3.0.
If you need to reboot, it is recommended to use the reboot function in OS3 System page, since the device will be shutdown in a controlled way. If you need to cut power, make sure to wait 1 minute before cutting power after, for instance, changing network IP address. If power is cut directly after, the change might not be saved. Emerson ROC Import Module is not installed with iX 3.0 and needs to be installed sparately.
Comment
If you plan to store your project in folders managed by such a service, consider reducing sync frequency, or consider putting the projects in a folder not managed by a storage service.
