forms allowing the user to see time presented in a proper manner.

Naming Convention Change

Tag names are no longer limited to starting with alpha characters only.
With this release, tag names can start with numeric or alpha
characters.

CEE Function Blocks

Four New Parameters

The CEE function block displays the information related to how many
CPMs and FIMs it has opened connections to. The parameters used for
displaying this information are NUMCPMINCON and NUMFIMINCON
since these are indicators of CDA connections between CPMs and
FIMs. The block also displays information about how many CPMs and
FIMs have opened connections to this CEE. The parameters used for
displaying this information are NUMCPMOUTCON and
NUMFIMOUTCON. The information about number of CDA
connections is obtained by CPM function block when the parameter
value is requested from detail display or control builder. The CEE
function block gets this information from CPM and displays it on the
detail display.

NUMCPMINCON - This number represents the number of CPMs
to which this CPM has opened connections i.e. this CPM is an
initiator to another CPM

NUMFIMINCON - This number represents the number of FIMs to
which this CEE has opened connections i.e. this CEE is an
initiator to another FIM

NUMCPMOUTCON - This number represents the number of
CPMs that have opened connections to this CPM i.e. this CPM is
a target of another CPM

NUMFIMOUTCON - This number represents the number of FIMs
that have opened connections to this CPM i.e. this CPM is a
target of a FIM
