DPA Platform

New Features and Improvements

1. Improved the state provider editor. For the Simple provider, field names are now prefilled with the expected values while remaining editable for scenarios involving custom states. For the Script provider, the expected field names have also been added to the script template. Reference information with valid Enum values for standard states has been added to the UI to simplify configuration and script development.
2. Updated job scheduling logic in the “Planning” module. Job start times are now calculated based on the nearest available working time in the work center schedule, taking previously scheduled jobs and the standard time specified in the process plan into account, rather than from the current time. The “Calculate” button has been renamed to “Schedule”. Scheduling uses a minimum time increment of 30 minutes, and the earliest possible job start time is 60 minutes from the current time.
3. Added the ability to schedule a job across multiple work centers in the “Planning” module. Users can run scheduling for one, several, or all selected work centers. The planned start time, planned end time, and quantity can be adjusted manually for each work center.
4. Optimized machine data queries in the “Gantt Chart” analytics.
5. Removed support for template parameter validation. Multiple fixes have been made to custom scripts used for JSON parameter validation.
6. Implemented internal improvements and optimizations to the “Signals” module.
7. Implemented internal improvements related to client-side event models.
8. Fixed the downtime classification script based on error codes.
9. Implemented internal improvements and optimizations to reduce technical debt.

API Changes

Removed several unused UI components, as well as the following API methods:

1. GET api/enterpriseStruct/getAllEquipmentShortByDepartment/{department-id}
2. GET api/enterpriseStruct/getEquipmentShort/{equipment-id}
3. POST api/enterpriseStruct/getStaticTreeForWithoutEquipment

Bug Fixes

1. Updated driver configurations to ensure state names are unique with respect to their associated devices.
2. Fixed an issue with production quantity adjustments (recording negative quantities) in the Operator Workplace.
3. Updated DPA Server scripts to accommodate changes to asynchronous methods.
4. Fixed incorrect background and text colors based on work center state in “Operational Diagram (Custom)” tiles on dashboards.
5. Fixed an issue with applying the work center state filter in the “13.1. Downtime Reason Classification” analytics report.
6. Fixed an issue with the third pie chart in the “Summary Distribution” analytics when selecting departments and filtering by specific shifts.
7. Fixed an issue with schedule display in the following analytics: “Gantt Chart”, “Work Center Group States”, and “Jobs. Gantt Chart”.
8. Fixed an issue where the virtual driver could delay event delivery from other drivers.
9. DPA Server. OPC UA Driver: fixed a memory leak that could occur when the connection to OPC UA servers was lost.
