If the information is imported to link with a library, the library will be loaded and
appended to the end of the list in the library manager. If the library was already
loaded into the project, it will not be reloaded. If, however, the export file that is being
imported shows a different storage time for the library, the library name is marked
with a "*" in the library manager (e.g. standard.lib*30.3.99 11:30:14), similar to the
loading of a project. If the library can not be found, then an information dialog
appears: "Cannot find library {<path>\}<name> <date> <time>", as when a project is
loaded.
In the message window the import is registered.
6.3.24 'Project' 'Siemens Import'
In the submenu "Siemens Import" you find the commands for importing POUs and
variables from Siemens-STEP5 files.
The following commands are available:
• "Import from SEQ symbol file"
• "Import from S5 file"
6.3.25 'Project' 'Compare'
This command is used to compare two projects or to compare the actual version of
one project with that which was saved last.
Overview:
Definitions: actual project: Project, which you are currently working on.
reference project: Project, which should be compared with the actual project.
compare mode: in this mode the project will be displayed after the command 'Project'
'Compare' has been executed.
unit: Smallest unit which can be compared. Can be a line (declaration
editor, ST editor, IL editor), a network (FBD editor, LD editor) or a
element/POU (CFC editor, SFC editor).
In compare mode the actual project and the reference project will be presented in a
bipartited window. The names of the POUs, for which differences have been found,
are marked by color. For editor POUs also the content of the POUs is displayed in a vis-
a-vis way. The results and the way of presenting in compare mode depend on: 1. what
filters have been activated for the compare run, affecting the consideration of
whitespaces and comments during comparison; 2. whether modification within lines
or networks or elements are evaluated as a completely new inserting of a POU or not.
