The first service pack for ACC V24 has been released. Thanks to your feedback, we were able to make targeted improvements to the current version. We would like to thank you for your feedback and support.

The following enhancements are included in service pack 1:
  • ACC Redundancy Manager:
    The ACC Redundancy Manager makes configuring and operating a redundant ACC even easier. The manager is a central component on the ACC server that monitors and controls the redundancy.
  • Compatibility with V24 and V24 SP1 is guaranteed for the following systems:
    • WinCC OA 3.19  
    • PCS neo V4.1
    • WinCC RT Professional (TIA V19)
    • WinCC Unified (TIA V19)
  • Desigo CC V7: 
    Compatibility with V24 and V24 SP1 can be assumed.
    (Tests will be completed by April 2024)

Furthermore, additional minor bug fixes and improvements have been implemented to enhance the stability and performance of the ACC.

Contract customers were sent further information about the service pack, including a download link, in a support mailing on March 14, 2024.

If you have any questions, please contact our sales team at sales@alarmcontrolcenter.de.

We look forward to presenting the first "cloud-ready" ACC version to you soon. In the first step, this version will come with a REST interface and a smartphone and e-mail channel. The authentication processes and a security check by cirosec GmbH have already been completed. The IT security experts have checked the ACC and the interfaces for security gaps and risks and provided us with suggestions for an even more secure operation of the ACC in the cloud.  

We will finalize and implement the latest audit results and launch the first pilot project with a long-standing customer shortly. At the same time, we are continuing to work on a cloud connector that will enable all ACC agents to be used in the cloud.

We are very proud of the project's success and look forward to being able to present our first performance report to you soon.
