Compatibility EcoStruxure Machine Expert Overview
For SoMachine Motion compiler version V4.4 or later, the initialization order of data unit type arrays. For SoMachine Motion compiler version V4.4 or later, properties with an accompanying type variable are exported as read-only in the symbol configuration.
CAUTION
For SoMachine Motion V4.4 compiler versions, a compiler error will be generated when writing to variables located at %I* addresses. For SoMachine Motion V4.4 compiler versions, FB_EXIT is now called for instances allocated on the stack before the holding scope is returned.

NOTE
Compatibility EcoStruxure Machine Expert - Safety Overview
However, EcoStruxure Machine Expert - Safety with this release does not support reusing a project built on EcoStruxure Machine Expert - Safety with LMCx01 system to EcoStruxure Machine Expert - Safety with M262 system or vice versa.

The programming software GUI is no longer missing Chinese translations. OEM00067888 Using the Cut command in an FBD (Function Block Diagram) no longer causes the programming software to stop.
EcoStruxure Machine Expert - Safety
The Vijeo-Designer no longer closes with HMIConnection Mode> IP Address (Fast TCP). OEM00075268 An unhandled exception is no longer caused by copying and pasting a variable within the trace configuration.
Limitations for the Release of TM262M••
OEM00071263 In the online help, the description for the TM5CSLCX00FS cycle time has been improved and more detailed information is provided. OEM00072267 In the SafeLogger, a safety related message is not displayed if the TM5CSLCx00FS is not in operational state due to an incorrect encoder resolution.

Immediate Addressing
Symbols are automatically updated with their new immediate address bindings, provided they are attached to the address in the I/O map dialog of the corresponding device editor, and not just an 'AT' statement in the program itself.
UNINTENDED EQUIPMENT OPERATION
In one particular system configuration tested, operating with a Sercos cycle time of 1 ms, the state of the SafeModulOK parameter of one safety-related module changes from TRUE to FALSE. Solution: Use 2ms or 4ms as the Sercos cycle time if appropriate for your application, or adjust the security time parameters slightly (for example maxDataTransportTime).

OEM00077894 If SoMachine V4.3 or an earlier version was installed on the computer, the IP address used by the PC is not correct. OEM00077911 An M262 is not detected by USB and cannot be connected to EcoStruxure Machine Expert.
HMISCU Controllers
Install EcoStruxure Machine Expert directly on a PC or use Ethernet to connect a PC to the controller. Solution: If you run MC_CamIn with an SSI encoder as master and that SSI encoder is not connected to the M262, an error is reported.
Known Operational Anomalies Libraries
When using direct addressing in the EcoStruxure Machine Expert project, an advisory message was displayed each time you performed a build (F11) of the project. Machine Expert EcoStruxure opened the SLC Remote Control instance instead of Fast Motion Programming.
Documentation - Known Operational Anomalies Documentation
If the master position value leaves the defined cam position range, the cam signals that the end of the cam profile has been reached. Implement all necessary measures to ensure that a task is only buffered if sufficient distance from the position value to the end of the cam position range can be respected.
EcoStruxure Machine Expert V1.2
This means that the buffer job is activated regardless of whether the parent has left the cam position area in the positive or negative direction. The master unit can also leave the cam position range due to jitter if the master unit rests at a position close enough to the positive or negative limit of the cam position range.
TM3 Serial Line Bus Coupler
Depending on the number of analog I/O and/or safety modules used, the maximum allowed number of TM3 I/O modules may be reduced.

There is now an Absolute mode that can be selected as an alternative to the existing Relative and RampIn auxiliary launch modes when starting the cam. Be aware that the digital outputs set in this task will only be sent to the device after 2 cycles.
Documentation
MK-939 When the MC_CamIn function block is executed with the RampIn child start mode, unnecessary ramping no longer occurs, but ramping is not necessary because the axis already starts at the correct position based on the cam profile definition. M262-5137 SysTimeRtcSet: After SHUTDOWN, the controller's real-time clock (RTC) is lost if set with the SysTimeRtcSet function.
TM5CSLC•00FS
M262-5335 When in a distributed architecture, with TM3BCEIP, if the diagnostics for the analog modules TM3AQ2 and TM3AQ4 are disabled, CPU exception occurs, after downloading the application. Solution: The diagnostics are enabled by default - do not change the diagnostics settings for these two modules: TM3AQ2 and TM3AQ4.
CommonToolbox
When set to None, the values of the analog inputs will shift into the read data buffer, causing the wrong data value to be read into the software or controller.
