Rotronic Tracking System
Rotronic use a tracking system to monitor bugs, features, improvements and change requests. This tracking system is the basis for any software, hardware and firmware User Requirement Specification based upon the GAMP©5 validation model. Each point will be recognized with an ID (eg. RMS-XXX). A description and details are attributed to each point within the tracking system. All changes documented within the RMS Release Notes will have an ID number and a description.
| Important The Change Log/Release Notes are valid for - RMS-CONVERTER-100 (HW version) - RMS-CONVERTSW-100 (SW version) |
|---|
Version V2.2.0
Release Details
The RMS-CONVERTSW-100 is introduced and it
- is a software product that has the same aim as the RMS-CONVERTER-100, to integrate non-RMS devices into the RMS.
- acts as an translater between these devices and the RMS - by transmission of different device protocols to the RMS and back.
- can be installed on a high performance server within the customer network that decreases the risk of default / probability of failure.
Main topics of this version
- Converter solution as a software
- Integration of OPC UA interface (Converter as a UA client)

Version V1.9.0
Release Details
The main target of this firmware version has been to:
- Integrate the ALMO alarm monitor device with modbus TCP functionality. With this setup, it is possible to integrate radiation measurement into the RMS.
- Possibility to configure a proxy server on the RMS-CONVERTER-100.
Bug Fixes
| RMS-CONVERTER-5902A | Integration of Almo Panel. |
|---|---|
| RMS-CONVERTER-5707A | Configure proxy server on the converter. |
Version V1.8.0
Release Details
The main target of this firmware version has been to integrate the GUI Improvements and optimize the Modbus editor formula for scaling.
Improvement
| RMS-CONVERTER-3292A | GUI improvements |
|---|---|
Bug Fixes
| RMS-CONVERTER-3285A | Wrong modbus editor formula for scaling |
|---|---|
Version V1.7.0
Release Details
The main target of this firmware version has been to adapt the RMS-CONVERTER-100 to work within an Azure environment including a traffic manager.
New Features
| RMS-CONVERTER-569A | Under settings, a button to restart the converter has been added. |
|---|---|
| RMS-CONVERTER-571A | Comment field added for each line within the modbus map. |
Improvement
| RMS-CONVERTER-575A | DNS secondary |
|---|---|
Bug Fixes
| RMS-CONVERTER-567A | When using a special character in a modbus map, the RMS-CONVERTER blocks. |
|---|---|
| RMS-CONVERTER-570A | Increase the maximum number of readable information per device driver |
| RMS-CONVERTER-1295A | Secondary DNS server is used - wrong content get's saved to /etc/resolv.conf |
Version V1.6.0
Release Details
The main target of this firmware version has been to integrate the AirNet II Particle Counter into the Firmware.
New Features
| RMS-CONVERTER-2924 | In case of a first operation and integration into RMS via Converter, or in case of short power interrupt, the particle counter Airnet II need to be reinitiated by a modbus order, that enables/re-enables the particle counter. For that reason, a new command ‘Write single coil’ with starting address and switching status IS implemented into the Modbus editor of the Converter. Every interval this order is sent out from the converter to the particle counter. The modbus order cannot be linked to any RMS function. It works independent between particle counter and converter. |
|---|---|
Version V1.5.0
Release Details
The main target of this firmware version has been to correct existing bugs that can occur when an RMS-CONVERTER-100 and a HygroLog NT/HL-NT are integrated into a system.
New Features
| RMS-CONVERTER-2646 | In protected IT infrastructures, the use of a CA certificate could be mandatory to identify that the RMS-CONVERTER-100 is a permitted network participant. For that reason such a CA certificate can be uploaded to the RMS-Converter. |
|---|---|
Improvements
| RMS-CONVERTER-2850 | Modbus Editor – The Signed Integer as a further number format is added. |
|---|---|
Bug Fixes
| RMS-CONVERTER-2530 & 2545 | HL-NT input 7 not transmitting probe serial number. |
|---|---|
| RMS-CONVERTER-2429 | Validation issue with Battery test for HL-NT. The HL-NT units have PoE functionality. The battery levels shown on the HL-NT's are incorrect. The information about the battery level is not displayed anymore. |
| RMS-CONVERTER-2409, 2426, 2222 | Within the audit trail, the event "Probe replaced" appears without any probes being replaced. Important due to the range of HygroLog and HL devices as well as the range of docking stations, Rotronic cannot fully guaranty that this bug is corrected for the entire range of products. |
| RMS-CONVERTER-2425 | Data gaps by HL-NT devices (only data gaps on RMS, data is available on memory card). |
| RMS-CONVERTER-2575 | When the probe on a HL-NT is disconnected, it shows probe replaced (SNxxx -> 0) in the audit trail, whereas a sensor error should appear. |
| RMS-CONVERTER-2496 | Data gaps when reading out digital inputs. Note: Update to RMS Software V2.2 is necessary. |

This firmware version has been programmed to implement the Modbus TCP Editor to allow for easy integration of 3rd party devices in the RMS environment.
New Features
| RMS-2341 | Modbus Editor to integrate Modbus TPC devices (only Ethernet devices) into the RMS. |
|---|---|
Bug Fixes
| RMS-2587 | RMS-Converter causes a data gap after an RMS software restart, which is caused by an empty device list on first query (only visible as of the RMS V2.0.0). |
|---|---|
Version V1.3.0

|---|---|
| RMS-740 | HL NT audit trail message “Probe replaced SNxxxx to SN0 corrected”. |
| RMS-829 | By configuration the RMS-8ADC-L-R unit is mv, it shall be mA. Channel number from the RMS-8ADC-L-R is 0 to 7. In RMS Webservice was it 1 to 8. Corrected to 0 to 7 in RMS Webservice. |
| RMS-849 | DNS address get reset to “8.8.8.8” after reboot. |
