794703 | Enhancement | E2 read | Case Control Application | The Emerson E2 read functionality now not only supports reading of Standard Circuits but with this release also Case Control Applications. Data is ingested to Alsense® from the Emerson E2 gateways for the alarm and telemetry data configured to the Standard Circuits and Case control applications. The data is visualized in the Alsense® UI consistent with other supported controllers. |
849572 | Enhancement | GCM | Retry on failed targets | If we fail to deliver a broadcast to one or all sites, a retry can now be manually triggered, so that only the failed targets get the correct settings. In the broadcast overview this action will be displayed as type “Retry on failed targets” |
764842 | Enhancement | GCM | Read/Write of Schedule 7&8 | For Global Configuration Management (GCM) it is now also possible to read and write to Light Schedules 7&8. Hence if the System Manager has Schedule 7&8 configured, they will also be retrieved in Alsense®. |
