Recalculation of Module addresses, 'Extras' 'Calculate addresses'
If the option "Calculate addresses" is activated in the dialog 'Settings' of the PLC
configuration editor , then the command 'Extras' 'Calculate addresses' will start to
recalculate the addresses of the modules. All modules starting with the one, which is
currently selected in the configuration tree, will be regarded.
Add configuration file
Use this command in the 'Extras' menu to add a further file to the configuration files
of the project. These are the files which are found in the directory path(es) specified in
the project options, category 'Directories', input field 'Configuration files'.
The dialog Select configuration file will be opened, where you can set a filter for CAN-
(*.eds,*. dcf), Profibus- (gsd*.*), configuration- (*.cfg)-files or all files (*.*). After having
selected the desired file a check will be done, whether the file is already found in one
of the defined directories for configuration files. In this case an appropriate message
will appear and the file cannot be added. If a cfg-file is selected, in each case an dialog
will open where you get information on what to do.
If the file can be added, the dialog Select configuration directory, where all
configuration directories currently defined for the project will appear in a selection
list. Choose the directory where the file whereto the file should be copied. After
having confirmed this selection by pressing button OK, the dialog will close and the
file immediately will be available in the PLC configuration.
Return to standard configuration, 'Extras' 'Standard configuration'
The command 'Extras' 'Standardconfiguration' can be used to restore the original PLC
configuration, which is defined by the configuration file *.cfg and saved in the project.

Stop!
In the configuration file *.cfg it might be defined that the standard configuration
should be restored at each reopening of the project. In this case all adaptations of
the configuration done by the user will get lost !
Converting of old PLC configurations, 'Extras' 'Convert'
This command is available in the menu 'Extras' if you open a project containing a PLC
configuration, which was created with an older »PLC Designer« version than V2.2.
If all needed configuration files are available (Attention: Information of the *.con-file
now must be available in a *.cfg configuration file!), the command 'Convert' will
transfer the existing configuration into the format of the actual PLC configuration. A
dialog will open which asks "Convert the configuration to the new format ? Attention:
Undo is not possible !"
