1. About Unity Pro EtherNet/IP Configuration Tool v1.0.30
==================================================================================
The Unity Pro Ethernet Configuration Tool allows the user to configure an Ethernet 
network with EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP devices using any of the following modules
in the listed platforms:

- Quantum 140 NOC 771 01 
- Premium TSX ETC 101 
- M340 BMX NOC 0401  


2. System requirements

3. Release Notes
==================================================================================
- QoS support requirement for remote devices
  When enabling QoS for the Converged Ethernet modules as a client or originator 
  ensure that all devices scanned support QoS tagging. It has been observed that 
  some devices will not operate properly if they don't support QoS.   

- Export Project function not supported
  Unity Pro "Export Project" function (.xef file) is not supported for 
  applications using the Converged Ethernet modules. 
  Use "Save Archive" option (.sta file) to ensure the upward/downward 
  compatibility.

- Building DTM-Based Applications
  Unity Pro applications that include DTM files require more memory than 
  traditional Unity Pro applications.
  
  If the amount of memory required by an application exceeds the amount of memory 
  that is available in the CPU,Unity Pro provides notice of this condition during 
  the build process, before the application is downloaded to the PLC. When this 
  situation occurs, you must exclude the additional upload-related information 
  from the application to complete the build and enable the application download. 
  
  To do this, make the following configuration change in Unity Pro:

Step 1: In the main menu, select Tools -> Project Settings... The Project Settings 
        window opens.

Step 2: In the left pane of the Project Settings window, 
        select General -> PLC embedded data.

Step 3: In the right pane, de-select Upload Information.

Step 4: Click OK to save your changes and close the Project Setting window.

After the Upload information setting is disabled, you can build the application 
and download it to the PLC. 

NOTE: An application in which the Upload information setting has been disabled 
      cannot later be uploaded from the PLC to the PC.

- Uploading DTM-Based Applications
  DTM-based applications that were successfully downloaded to Unity Pro with the 
  project’s Upload information setting enabled can later be uploaded from the PLC
  to the PC if the target PC has the following files pre-installed on it:

(a) a version of Unity Pro that is equal to or higher than the version used to 
    create the application

(b) the master DTMs for the modules included in the configuration

(c) the DTMs for all DTM-based devices attached to the network (the DTMs must be 
    of the same or higher revision as each device DTM used in the configuration)

(d) the EDS files for any EtherNet/IP device used in the configuration (the EDS 
    files must be of the same or higher revision as each device EDS file used in 
    the configuration)

After all the above components have been installed on the target PC, you can 
upload a DTM-based Unity Pro application from a PLC.


4. Obtaining Technical Support
==================================================================================
For Technical Support, contact your Distributor or Schneider Electric Customer 
Support Center. Or please visit support www.schneider-electric.com

To troubleshoot complex networks, your support representative may want to 
provide a packet capture file for technical analysis. An Open Source
