Version Trail
■
Overview
SIMATIC Version Trail is a software option for engineering which,
together with the SIMATIC Logon central user administration,
can assign a version history to libraries, projects and multi-
projects.
■
Function
SIMATIC Version Trail tags the with a version ID when archiving,
and enters the following information in the version history:
• Version
•
Version name
•
Date and time
• User
• Comment
Individual versions can be retrieved from the archive, and used
further. SIMATIC Logon organizes the access protection.
Archiving and retrieval procedures can be automated on a time-
driven basis. Retrieval of block parameters from the automation
system can be coupled with the archiving procedure, but it can
also be performed independently of this on a time-driven basis
and with version assignment.
The version history managed by Version Trail can be displayed
and printed. An already completed version cannot be modified
at a later date. In conjunction with the Version Cross Manager, an
archived version can be compared with an existing project or a
second archived version.
