SISTEMA Newsletter 02-2025

Dear Sir or Madam

We are pleased to make SISTEMA version 3.0.4 Build 5 of our free software available for download!

This release fixes several known issues in version 3, including:

• Infinite loop in summaries: In certain cases, the automatic summary function would get stuck in an infinite loop and generate a document with the maximum page count of 5,000.
• Crashes in the documentation field: In rare cases, working in the documentation field would cause a crash – without any warning or error message.
• Entry in documentation field not being saved: If a documentation field was edited directly using the pencil icon without selecting the field itself, the entry was not saved.
• Version query displayed incorrect data: The version check tool displayed incorrect information.

You can download SISTEMA 3.0.4 Build 5 from our SISTEMA homepage.

SISTEMA 2.x projects are compatible and can be opened with SISTEMA version 3.0. The SISTEMA 3.0 file format is adapted during this process and is not backwards compatible afterwards. Details of the main new features in SISTEMA 3.0 can be found on our SISTEMA homepage in the document Innovations in SISTEMA 3.0 (PDF, 944 kB, accessible) .

All changes, adjustments and fixed errors are described in the readme file. The readme is displayed in SISTEMA by clicking on the "Projects" folder in the tree view of the navigation window.

Alternatively, you can also view the Version history (PDF, 326 kB, accessible) document on our SISTEMA homepage.

The new edition of the IFA Report “Functional safety of machine controls” has been revised to reflect the latest version of the standard and it is published as IFA Report 1/2025. You can find the updated report and further information on our well-known page for DIN EN ISO 13849 website. Please note: the report is currently available in German only; an English version will follow as soon as possible.
