UAB Versioning: Definition 02/04/2014 1

Resources Package Split The resources package will be split into different modules: 1. Common/Core (name to define) module, containing: Device Type Definitions Specs Template Semantic Rules IO Commissioning Template Upgrade script (?) 2. Modules for each target/technology (Siemens, Schneider, Codesys, WinCC OA, TouchPanel(?) ): Baseline Templates (Instance, Logic, PLC Parameters) It’s necessary to make a distinction between baseline and templates modules as the wizard will do different actions with them. 2 02/04/2014

Release Definition A release descriptor will define all the modules and targets/ technologies for the specific release. The descriptor will have the following features: The modules can be grouped by target/technology (e.g.: Siemens, Schneider, WinCC OA(?), Touch Panels(?), …) (PLC Technology?) Each module can be annotated to: Specify the changes since the previous released version. (uab release or module release?) Actions for the user. (Free-text or there are a set of predefined actions?) The Common/Core (R.P.) and Wizard modules can be annotated to specify if there are changes specific to a target/technology. Is this annotation generic or related to specific changes/actions? (e.g. Change A  Action B  Affects target C ) Each PLC platform will describe their different relevant modules (excluding Common/Core and Wizard) (group definition). 3 02/04/2014

Version Numbers When a new version is released the following situations can occur: 1. The new release is meaningful for all the PLC platforms 2. The new release is meaningful for a subset of PLC platforms (one or more) 5 SiemensSchneiderReason 6.0 First release 6.1New Schneider Baseline 6.2New Siemens Baseline 6.3 New device types Consequences: 1. UAB tools will allow the creation and upgrades of applications for the relevant versions only. (E.g. Not possible to create/upgrade Siemens applications for CPC v6.1) 2. When a new release is done a versions table (similar to the example) will be created and published in the web for documentation. 02/04/2014

Application Upgrades When an application is about to be upgraded: 1. Only the relevant versions will be offered to the user. 2. A table will be displayed to show the changes since the previous release. 6 Changes in CPC (Siemens) for v First release 6.2New Baseline 3.When the target version for the upgrade is selected, the tool will show information about the modules changed since the application version.

Questions Will this release model be applied to all UAB components? Special cases: TCT: Unique module without other dependencies. Olproc++: Uses all versions of CPC R.P. (it could be linked to non-cpc r.p.) What to do with already released UAB components?  Keep they as they are: Bootstrap has to deal with two different kind of releases They contain two version numbers (Wizard + R.P.)  Redeploy using new versioning mechanism: Deploying only the release descriptor : How to number the already released versions? Wizard displays v1.4.0 and can see r.p & CPC v# Wizard v# Resources v# /04/2014
