It is now possible to assign and unassign FF function blocks. If a

block to a device that contains a block of the same type.

Update to Project

Synchronizing your loaded data with your project data is now
supported, even for FF devices.

Refresh Template Capability for FLM

Using the Fieldbus Library Manager, it is now possible to update the
template of a Fieldbus device even though there are project instances
of the device. Parameter labels, default values, location on forms are
examples of changes that can be made this way.

Interface Module, is now fully supported.

accounts to this group. Also, the group Engineering Repository
Users is added, although erserver, ps_user and mngr are not
added to it.
