To verify keeper signatures:

To verify scanner signatures:
1. In
Network
menu, choose
Scanner Signature Status
2. If any scanners are invalid, download the RSNetWorx project to
the processors that indicate a scanner signature mismatch (you
may have to follow additional troubleshooting procedures in
RSNetWorx to correct the scanner signature mismatch).
Merge-Save Functionality
When you add or delete nodes or when you add, modify, or delete I/O
map table entries, only those processors on the network whose
ControlNet schedules need to change are required to be in Program
mode. This feature requires RSNetWorx for ControlNet version 1.6 or
later.
During the save operation, RSNetWorx gives you two options:
• Optimize schedule for all connections: RSNetWorx recalculates
the ControlNet schedule for all the nodes on the ControlNet
network. The new schedule is downloaded to all the processors.
The processors close all of their existing connections and then
reopen their connections according to the new schedule. This
option requires that all the processors be in Program mode.
• Merge changes into existing schedule: RSNetWorx merges the
pending changes into the current ControlNet schedule. The new
schedule is only downloaded to those processors that are affected
by the change. Only those processors that are affected by the
change have to be in Program mode. All other processors on the
network can remain in Run mode and their connections remain
open. This option is only available if the current schedule can
accommodate the pending changes and if the ControlNet network
parameters (such as NUT, maximum scheduled address,
maximum unscheduled address, or media redundancy) do not
change.
Important: Performing a download via RSNetWorx may require all
the processors to be in Program mode.
