5.3 Adapting a project (Upgrading the project / Replacing the SIMOTION controller)
SIMOTION D410
174 Commissioning Manual, 02/2012
Procedure
The backup of the user data must be performed before the upgrade of the SCOUT project.
This is possible for a version upgrade with the "old" SCOUT version or the "new" SCOUT
version.
The following is a description of the procedure with a "new" SCOUT.
1. Open the project.
When opening the project a window appears with a message that the project to be
opened was created with another SCOUT version, as well as a prompt as to whether the
upgrade should be performed.
Figure 5-4 Prompt as to whether the project should be upgraded
2. Confirm the prompt with "OK". The project is upgraded.
3. After the conversion another prompt appears as to whether the project should be opened
write-protected. Confirm this prompt with "Yes" (open write-protected).
Figure 5-5 Prompt as to whether the project should be opened as write-protected
Open write-protected means: The project remains consistent. The data is the same in the
controller and in the project. Diagnostic functions (status, trace, etc.) can be executed
directly. The project does not have to be loaded to the controller first.
Go online on the SIMOTION device (in STOP operating mode) and execute the Save
variables SCOUT function. The retain variables (interface and implementation) and also
the user files (saved with _saveUnitDataSet or _exportUnitDataSet) are saved to the
PG/PC.
The project must then be closed.
If you are using another PC or PG than that configured for the controller, an online
connection is not possible. Update the PG/PC assignment for this.
You can go directly to the PG/PC assignment via the
button.
The SCOUT project can then be reopened write-protected. The online connection is now
possible.
