Raylux 0.24.3: device edits and deletes reach the gateway

Two device-connection faults found in real use against an Allen-Bradley ControlLogix.

Deleting a device now stops it

Deleting removed the device from the configuration and nothing else. It kept running, kept retrying and kept reporting its connection error on screen until the gateway was restarted.

Editing a device now reaches the wire

Correcting an address, backplane path or PLC type saved to the configuration and changed nothing on the running device. The response said "saved", so a correct fix looked like a fix that had not worked.

The most common case is an Allen-Bradley path — with the Ethernet module in slot 2 and the processor in slot 0 the path is still 1,0, because it routes from the module to the controller. That value was most likely right all along and simply never reached the driver.

Edits now apply immediately. If the new settings cannot be used — clearing a required address, say — the device stops and the response says so, rather than claiming success over a dead device.

• Creating a project from Studio no longer rewrites the entire gateway configuration, and reusing an existing project name is refused instead of silently replacing that project and all its screens.
