Version Cross Manager
■
Overview
The SIMATIC Version Cross Manager is a user-friendly tool for
determining the differences between various versions of
individual projects or multi-projects by:
•
Tracing missing, additional or differing objects by comparing
hardware configuration, communication, plant hierarchy,
CFC/SFC plans, SFC details, block types, messages,
global tags, signals and run sequences
•
Graphic display of comparison results in a combination of tree
and tabular formats
•
Clear hierarchical structuring according to the technological
hierarchy of the plant
•
Color-coded identification of the differences
Note:
As the function "Control module adjustment" is based on a basic
functionality of the Version Cross Manager (VXM), you need a
VXM license to use this function. In the absence of a license, a
message appears telling you to install Version Cross Manager.
This is not actually necessary, all you need to install is a valid
VXM license that will enable the relevant functionality on the en-
gineering station.
