On top of the new window a toolbar (see below, "Working in the compare mode") is
placed at your disposal, followed by a title bar and a sub-window. The title bar as well
as the sub-window itself is subdivided into a left part representing the current project
and the right one representing the reference project. The corresponding file paths are
displayed in the title bar whereas the sub-window shows the two device trees
associated to the projects.
Therein, you see the name of identical units displayed in black with no further remarks.
Otherwise the name of an unit is displayed
• in
bold blue , if it exists in the reference project only; instead of its name a gap will
be inserted at the corresponding place in the device tree of the actual project.
• in bold green : if it exists in the actual project only; instead of its name a gap will be
inserted at the corresponding place in the device tree of the reference project.
• in bold red in both parts of the window, if their are differences in the two versions
of the unit concerning the implementation. In addition the unit name is followed
by .
• in red , if the differences of the versions are related only to properties (indicated by
subsequent to the unit name), access rights (indicated by subsequent to the
unit name) or added folders (indicated by subsequent to the unit name). In the
last case, the corresponding path of the unit concerned is displayed straight below
the sub-window as soon as you place the mouse pointer on its name in the actual
project or the reference project respectively.
In addition, each line containing a coloured entry is highlighted in grey.
Below the sub-window you find further lines displaying the options set for the
comparing as well as a short statistic showing the number of additions, deletions and
changes.
Working in the compare mode
The toolbar on top of the survey provides a set of functions to edit the comparison:
You may achieve detailed information on discrepancies of units marked in
bold red
either by a double click on their name or by a click on in top of the projects survey.
After that the survey will be superposed by a detailed view showing the contents of
the two versions opposed to each other, and the varying elements are listed in colours
according to the scheme presented above.
In case of a POU its appearance in the associated text or graphic editor will be
displayed at left for the actual project, respectively at right for the reference project.
The smallest entities compared to each other are lines (ST, IL), networks (FBD, LD) or
elements (CFC, SFC). In case of a device the variable entities like address, parameters or
the mapping are listed in a table. As described above the left part of the table shows
the current project and the right part shows the entities of the reference device. Note
that you cannot modify by hand any of the two displayed versions within this
comparison, rather accept the reference version instead of the actual one!
Press in the top left-hand corner of the window to return to the survey.
