TRACE 1.13.0 Beta

TRACE 1.13.0 Beta

Free Windows desktop application to monitor, record, and replay Allen Bradley
PLC signals over EtherNet/IP, with Chain Map diagnostics, a connector pinout
reference, and a built-in simulation mode for practicing without a PLC.

What changed since 1.12.0 Beta

• Browse PLC Tags offers a member picker for structured tags, instead of
  typing one by hand. Rockwell's own TIMER, COUNTER and CONTROL always have
  the same members (PRE, ACC, EN, TT, DN, ...), so Browse now lets you pick
  one from a list, for a scalar tag or an array element alike, and sets the
  new tag up as Digital or Analog to match. For any other UDT or AOI, Browse
  now also shows its real members when it can resolve them, falling back to
  a text hint to add a member by hand only when that information genuinely
  isn't available (for example, a cached Browse result).
• Browse PLC Tags no longer gets stuck saying "No tags found." forever. A
  live query that came back with zero tags (the PLC or a bridge briefly not
  ready) used to get cached, so every later plain "Browse" click for that
  address replayed the empty result instead of asking again, with no way
  back to "Refresh from PLC". An empty result is no longer cached, so the
  next click tries again live.

Nothing else changed in TRACE itself.

TRACE is developed and distributed by Wilmer Ramirez Gutierrez, an
independent software developer, under the Siganor name.

before running it.

Before you install

• This build is unsigned, and so is Siganor Link. Windows SmartScreen will
  most likely warn that it is an "unrecognized app". That is expected for an
  unsigned build from a small independent publisher. Do not disable
  SmartScreen or Defender to get past it; if that is not acceptable to you,
  don't install. The installer also shows this notice on its own page.
• Beta for simulation and lab use. Use it on plant equipment only with the
  approval of your industrial security team. A matching SHA-256 shows the
  file is the one published here; it does not prove who published it.
• This is Beta software. Check results independently before using them to
  make decisions about equipment or production. TRACE is not a safety system
  and does not replace approved engineering procedures. Simulation mode and
  the online simulator are for practice, not for validating real behavior.
• Per-user install, no admin rights required (%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\TRACE).
  Your data lives in %LOCALAPPDATA%\TRACE and uninstalling does not touch it.
  Installing over 1.12.0 keeps your configuration.
• The installer's license page shows EULA.md. Some fields in it (Licensor
  address, governing jurisdiction, liability cap amount) are still open.
