Purpose (Tri-GP) controllers.
The version 4.x release includes the following products:
• TriStation 1131 Standard
• TriStation 1131 with CEMPLE
• TriStation 1131 Demo Version with CEMPLE
These versions of TriStation 1131 are used to develop applications for use with any Triconex controller
(Tricon, Trident, or Tri-GP).
The version 4.8.0 and later releases also include the following products:
• TriStation 1131 Standard for Tri-GP Systems Only
• TriStation 1131 with CEMPLE for Tri-GP Systems Only
The Tri-GP-only versions of TriStation 1131 are used to develop applications for use only with the Tri-GP
controller. To develop applications for use with Tricon or Trident controllers, you must use a full version
of TriStation 1131 (Standard, or with CEMPLE).

 Upgrade Information 3

Upgrade Information
If you are upgrading from a previous version of TriStation 1131 (including a previous version of 4.x), please
note the following:
• Projects created in previous versions of TriStation 1131 should be backed up using the version of
TriStation 1131 they were created in, before opening the project in a later version. Projects backed
up using a later version of TriStation 1131 cannot be opened by older versions. For example, a
project backed up using version 4.3 cannot be opened in TriStation 1131 version 4.2.
• If you have previously installed version 2.x, 3.x, or 4.x of the TriStation 1131 software, you do not
need to uninstall it before installing a later version of 4.x. However, only one version of TriStation
1131 can be open at any one time; for example, you cannot have 3.x open at the same time as 4.2.
• If you have previously installed version 4.x of the TriStation 1131 software, you may wish to keep
both versions of the TriStation 1131 software installed on your workstation until you have finished
converting all your projects to the newer version.
However, uninstalling 4.0 after you have installed a later version (4.1.x or later) will cause the
later version to no longer work. To correct this, simply uninstall both 4.0 and the later version, and
then reinstall the later version (4.1.x or later).
• If you installed other Triconex applications (such as SOE Recorder) after you installed TriStation
1131 version 4.0, uninstalling version 4.0 may cause other installed Triconex applications to no
longer work. To correct this, simply uninstall and then reinstall the other Triconex applications
after you uninstall TriStation 1131 version 4.0.
• If you are upgrading to TriStation 1131 4.15.x or later from a previous version, files that were saved
to the folder C:\ProgramData\Triconex\TriStation 1131 4.x are retained in the original location.
• The programming model for TriStation 1131 4.x is significantly different from versions prior to 4.x.
Any project created with version 2.x through 3.x can be automatically converted to version 4.x. See
the TriStation 1131 Developer’s Guide, 4.x for more information.
— If an original program name ends with an underscore (such as TankAlarm_), converting the
project to TriStation 1131 4.x will result in multiple program instances that have two
underscores in the name (TankAlarm__1, TankAlarm__2, etc.). Because two consecutive
underscores are not allowed in program names, you must rename each of these instances to
remove the consecutive underscores before building the application.
• When converting a project from a previous version of TriStation 1131 to 4.7.0 or later, Standard
Security will be enabled by default (for information about security settings, see the TriStation 1131
Developer’s Guide for 4.7.0 or later).
• The updated ALARMS library (version 1.111) released with TriStation 1131 4.10.0 is significantly
different from earlier versions of the library. See Using the Updated ALARMS Library on page 14
for more information about using this upgraded library.
• The ALARMS3 library released with TriStation 1131 4.12.0 is the updated library for process
alarms. It is required for Triconex controllers that are used with Safety View Alarm and Bypass
Management (ABM) 1.1.0 and later. See Using the ALARMS3 Library on page 14 for more
information about this library.

4 Upgrade Impact on Existing Applications

• If you are upgrading to TriStation 1131 4.16.0 or later, and your Tricon system version is 11.2.x,
you must run the TriStation Analysis Utility prior to upgrading your project file, to ensure it is not
affected by PAN #30. Once your project file is upgraded, TriStation 1131 4.16.0 will disable the
types of changes described in PAN #30 so that the PAN #30 issue can no longer occur.
If you are upgrading to TriStation 1131 4.16.0, and your Tricon system version is 11.3.0, before
performing a Download Changes operation, make sure you save your project (click File > Save
Project) after:
— Making a change to the number of allocated I/O points
— Adding one or more I/O modules
— Finishing all I/O allocation changes, before creating one or more new tagnames
For more information, see PAN #30 - Possible Memory Corruption Following a Download Changes
Operation That Changes the Number of I/O Points, Peer-to-Peer Blocks, or SOE Blocks, available on the
Global Customer Support website.

Updating Project Libraries

When converting a TriStation 1131 project to a newer version, you may be prompted to update the project
libraries. You can choose to update the libraries during project conversion, or you can manually update the
libraries at a later time.
Note For information about the changes made in each library version, see TriStation Library Versions on
page 29.
Schneider Electric recommends doing one of the following, depending on your project’s current download
state:
• If your project is in the Download All state, click Yes to update the libraries, or No to continue the
conversion without updating the libraries.
• If your project is in the Download Changes state, click No to continue the conversion without
updating the libraries.
If you click No, but you later add the features included in the updated libraries to your application, you
will need to manually update the libraries prior to building and downloading the application.
When the project is in the Download Changes state, a library can be updated only if it does not change
function blocks that have already been downloaded to the controller. If any of the elements in the library
being updated have already been downloaded to the controller, you must change the project state to
Download All in order to update the library.
Please note the following regarding updating the TRDLIB, TR1LIB, or TX1LIB libraries:
• If the project is in the Download Changes state, these libraries can only be updated if the library
version is equal to or later than the version listed in the following table:

Library Version for Update in DLC State

TRDLIB 1.171 or later

TR1LIB 1.89 or later
TX1LIB 1.62 or later

• If the library version is earlier than those listed above, the library can only be updated if the project
is in the Download All state.
For more detailed information about updating project libraries, see the TriStation 1131 Developer’s Guide.

Product Release Notice for TriStation 1131 4.0—4.17.0

14 Upgrade Impact on Existing Applications

Using the Updated ALARMS Library

The updated ALARMS library (version 1.111) released with TriStation 1131 4.10.0 is significantly improved
from earlier versions of the library. It can only be used with TriStation 4.10.0 and later.
If you are using earlier versions of the ALARMS library, Schneider Electric recommends you remove that
library from your project and replace it with ALARMS 1.111.
When you upgrade the ALARMS library to 1.111 or later, you must update the alarm function blocks in
your project to use the new and changed parameters. You will be unable to build your application until you
have updated your project accordingly.
Note The Alarms library is not automatically included with TriStation 1131 sample projects or newly
created projects. You must add this library to a project manually. For instructions, see the TriStation
1131 Developer’s Guide.

Using the ALARMS3 Library

The ALARMS3 library, released with TriStation 1131 4.12.0, is the updated library for process alarms. It is
required for Triconex controllers that are used with Safety View Alarm and Bypass Management (ABM)
1.1.0 and later.
The ALARMS3 library can be used with TriStation 1131 4.0 and later. You can add this library to your
project when your project is in the Download Changes state.
If you upgrade the existing ALARMS library to the ALARMS3 library, you can replace any existing alarm
function blocks in your project with the alarm function blocks from the ALARMS3 library.
Note The ALARMS and ALARMS3 libraries are not automatically included with TriStation 1131 sample
projects or newly created projects. You must add one of these libraries to a project manually. You
can add both these libraries to the same project, if required. For instructions, see the TriStation 1131
Developer’s Guide.

4.11.0—4.17.0 TriStation 1131 reports can no longer be exported to the tab-separated text (.ttx) format,
due to the integration of the SAP Crystal Reports 13.0 viewer in TriStation 1131.
As a workaround, export the desired report to one of the available Microsoft Excel
formats, and then use Excel to export the report to the tab-delimited text (.txt) format.
For more information about generating and exporting reports, see the TriStation 1131
Developer’s Guide.
4.16.0 You cannot drag-and-drop multiple tagnames from the TriStation 1131 Tagname Editor
to test steps in Triconex Safety Validator, or to a spreadsheet (.xls) or text file (.txt).
For information about a workaround procedure, please contact Global Customer
Support (see Contacting Technical Support on page 2).
For more information about methods for copying tagnames to Triconex Safety
Validator, see “Copying Tagnames from the Tagname Editor” in the TriStation 1131
Developer’s Guide and “Adding Tagnames to Steps” in the Triconex Safety Validator User’s
Guide.
For projects with a target system version of Tricon 11.2.x, you cannot perform a
Download Changes operation after doing any of the following:
• Increasing the number of allocated Peer-to-Peer Send blocks.
• Increasing the number of allocated input or output (I/O) points.
• Configuring one or more SOE blocks in the application for the first time.
These features have been disabled for Tricon 11.2.x projects in TriStation 1131 4.16.0 to
ensure that the issue described in PAN #30 will not occur. Making any of the above
changes will require you to perform a Download All operation.
For more information, see PAN #30 - Possible Memory Corruption Following a Download
Changes Operation That Changes the Number of I/O Points, Peer-to-Peer Blocks, or SOE
Blocks, available on the Global Customer Support website.
For projects with a target system version of Tricon 11.3.x, you cannot configure Tricon
CX I/O modules and non-CX I/O modules in the same system.
• If the Main Processor in your Main Chassis is a Model 3009, only non-CX I/O
modules can be installed and configured in your system.
• If the Main Processor in your Main Chassis is a Model 3009X, only CX I/O modules
can be installed and configured in your system.
Tricon CX I/O modules are identified by an ‘X’ at the end of the module’s Model
number. For example, the Model 3626X Supervised Digital Output module is a Tricon
CX I/O module. The Model 3625 Digital Output module is a non-CX I/O module.
For more information about compatible I/O modules, see the Product Release Notice for
your Tricon system version, available on the Global Customer Support website.
