1.2. Validator #2 – TIC Code Cross Reference Checker
This Validator performs the same task as Validator #1 to produce a graphical display of variable usage
and program dependencies that the applications developer can use to aid program verification and re-
test. The Validator differs from Validator #1 in that it derives the dependency information from the
downloadable TIC code and application symbols database files generated by the IEC1131 TOOLSET
when an application is successfully compiled. By deriving the information from a different source, the
applications developer is able to perform an additional consistency check on the IEC1131 TOOLSET
and Validators themselves by comparing the results of each.
1.2.1. Using Validator #2
The TIC Code Cross Reference Checker (Validator #2) can be run as a stand alone application or by
selecting TIC Dependency Checker' from the IEC1131 TOOLSET 'Tools' menu.
1.3. Validator #3 – TIC Code Processor
This Validator is used to compare the compiled TIC code produced by the IEC1131 TOOLSET
compiler for two different application databases. Its intended use is to identify differences between
versions of the same application.
The output from the Validator enables the applications programmer to identify programs that have
changed as a result of amending an application, and to also identify any unexpected changes to
programs that may have been introduced by the IEC1131 TOOLSET itself.
To use this Validator it is recommended that the IEC1131 TOOLSET 'Projects' manager is used to
copy the project to be amended to a new project before any changes are applied to it. The required
changes can be then be applied to the existing project. Both the modified and copied projects can then
be compiled to produce the database files required by the Validator.
Run the validator by either selecting the 'TIC Difference Checker’ option from the IEC1131 TOOLSET
'Tools' menu, or as a stand alone application. Select the copied and modified application directories
for comparison, if all the required database files are available then programs from each application are
compared.
1.3.1. Using Validator #3
The TIC Code Processor (Validator #3) can be run as a stand alone application or by selecting 'TIC
Difference Checker’ from the IEC1131 TOOLSET 'Tools' menu.
