THE PURPOSE OF THIS FORUM IS: AUTOMATION SOLUTIONS. IF YOU ARE A PERSON INVOLVED IN SOME ASPECT OF AUTOMATION, HAVE AN APPLICATION YOU JUST CAN'T QUITE GET A HANDLE ON 
- HAVE A PRODUCT QUESTION - OR MAYBE HAVE AN ISSUE WITH SOMETHING (EVEN IF IT IS WITH US 
), IT IS POSSIBLE YOU WILL FIND THE ANSWER HERE!!
OR, IF YOU ABSOLUTELY KNOW THE ANSWER, OR EVEN THINK YOU KNOW THE ANSWER, THEN JUST POST IT! MAKE THAT REPLY!
YOU ARE PROBABLY RIGHT ON THE MARK, AND MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP SOMEBODY OUT!!

Hopefully the information presented here will help provide solutions to some of today's automation challenges. Some issues are probably old, some are probably new. Many are products of the economy, the resultant reduction in manpower, exacerbated by aging equipment crippled by decreases in maintenance budgets. The ULTIMATE goal here is that we all become more successful in our careers and chosen professions.
MAYBE THIS FORUM CAN HELP!!!

Dear Serdar,
Excellent Question!
In November 2006 Hitachi announced the release of a new series: the EHV. The EHV consists of four new processors. These new processors work in place of the standard EH-150 processors, and use the same rack, power supplies, and I/O as the EH-150.
We expect product to hit the shelves by the 2nd or 3rd quarter (2007).
These new processors bring a whole new dimension of capabilities to the EH-150 platform. Having Ethernet and USB ports on the CPU is nice, but the biggest enhancement (IMHO) is the ability to store 1MByte worth of "Comment Memory" (tag ID/label) in addition to the 512kByte program memory.
Oh yea, let us not forget to mention the 20nS Processing Speed.
The answer to your question, is "NO". ActWin will not support the EHV-Series CPUs. You will have to use what Hitachi is calling "Control Editor" software. Incidentally, this is currently what is delaying the release of the processors. Control Editor is currently only available in Japanese. As soon as it has been adapted for English, we should see the EHV hitting the streets (in Europe and North America).
At this point in time (subject to change), Actron/ActWin does not have plans to support the EHV.
Thank you for the question. I hope this answer helps!
