TWE/TWP Firmware version 2.10.0 improves compatibility with the latest Telit firmware, increases system stability during server outages by reducing unnecessary communication overhead, and resolves several reliability issues.

Description Impact Recommendation

Bugs

  • Resolved an issue where repeated pod swaps could cause device instability over time.
  • Resolved an issue that could cause devices to stop functioning correctly after a limited number of pod swaps.
  • Improved device behavior during server outages by reducing unnecessary communication attempts, lowering the risk of data loss or connection errors.
  • Improved clock accuracy and reliability under fallback conditions.
No impact No testing needed

Features and Enhancements

  • Added support for the latest Telit WiFi module firmware (v39.03.012), ensuring continued compatibility with Touchscreen devices.

THIS TWE/TWP FIRMWARE IS A REQUIRED UPDATE - FW version 2.8.3 includes a new digital certificate. This is a critical update to ensure that logger continue to communicate with DicksonOne.

Additionally, this firmware includes a delay in the sensor configuration looping. This is a critical update to ensure that sensor tables do not contain incorrect disconnect and reconnect entries. Please update immediately.

Other enhancements include TWE/TWP compatibility with Oceasoft Smart-Sensors and Open/Close Sensors.

Description Impact Recommendation

Sensor Support

  • Adds support for Open/Close sensors.
  • Adds support for Oceasoft Triple-CO2 and Universal 4-20mA sensors.
  • Fixed an issue where certain replaceable sensors briefly displayed invalid readings when first plugged into Touchscreen loggers.
  • Calibration dates read from sensors are understood to be in local time for Chicago, IL (CST or CDT depending on the date), and are converted to UTC when stored internally.
  • Calibration dates are transmitted to DicksonOne in UTC.
  • Calibration dates are converted from UTC to the logger’s local time when displayed onscreen.
  • Adds a delay in sensor reconnection logic
No impact No testing needed

Networking

  • Prevents network loops when NTP fails
  • Adds support for alternate DNS addresses when using Ethernet connections.
  • Adds support for Telit wifi modules.
  • Fixed an issue where Touchscreen loggers would not request new registration codes from DicksonOne after an initial code had expired.
  • Fixed an issue where Touchscreen loggers would become stuck sending DNS queries for up to 20 minutes during data catch-up periods.
  • Include blank SSID when communicating on Ethernet
Low impact No testing needed

DicksonOne Communication

  • Adds support for updated DicksonOne API interface. Removes TLS certificates from the old DicksonOne API interface.
  • Eliminates insecure HTTP-only communication with DicksonOne. All communication is now encrypted using TLS 1.2.
Minor impact Check new functionality
