Overview of project comparison 1You can use the SIMOTION SCOUT/Starter function Project comparison (start using Start object comparison button) to compare objects within the same project and/or objects from different projects (online or offline) with one another. Objects are devices, programs, technology objects (TOs) or drive objects (DOs) and libraries. The project comparison is available to you under SIMOTION SCOUT and Starter. Comparing projects helps you in the event of service work on the system.

Cases may occur for example where inconsistencies are indicated when chang-ing into online mode in the project navigator, i.e. there are deviations between your project in the SCOUT and the project loaded in the target system. Possible causes for this are e.g.:

• A program has been changed

• The result of compiling a program is different

• There is a deviation on the global device variables

• The execution system has been changed

• The hardware configuration has changed

• An ST program in a library has been changed

• A piece of configuration data for an axis has been changed

The object comparison allows you to establish these differences and if necessary run a data transfer to rectify the differences. The following comparisons are pos-sible:

• Offline object with offline object from the same project

• Offline object with offline object from a different project

• Offline object with online object (not for libraries)

The first comparison partner (the reference object) is in the open project while the second partner (the comparison object) can be a comparison object in the open project, in a different project or the online partner.

Note

A comparison with online objects is only possible if there is already an online con-nection. No implicit connection is established when the comparison is started!

Overview of project comparison

1-10 © Siemens AG 2008 All Rights ReservedSIMOTION Project comparison, Edition 08/2008

The highest level for a comparison is a device, not the project. The comparison can be started via

• a SIMOTION device,

• a drive unit or

• a library.

A detailed comparison is available of the individual objects for ST programs, DOs (drive objects) and TOs (technology objects).

Note

When comparing with another project, this must be at least in SIMOTION SCOUT/Starter version 4.1. Otherwise you will first have to convert the project.

The project comparison function is also available when using devices with older firmware versions if you have edited or converted the project with SIMOTION SCOUT or Starter V4.1 SP2. The project then has to be recompiled and loaded.


General information about object comparison 2Below you will find an overview of the elements and structure of the object com-parison dialog. You can start the detailed comparison for ST programs, TOs and DOs from this dialog.

2.1 The user interface

A user interface in which the differences in the various objects have been detected was selected by way of example for the following screenshot. If working with programs, all the data from this user interface could be transferred and a detailed comparison would be possible for two programs.

2.2 Comparison icons

Below you will find an overview of the icons used in columns A and B and their status.

Please note the following:

• Columns A and B are not completed for comparison attributes. The same objects have the same attributes, i.e. they are present. The characteristic of the attributes may however be the same or different and same or different is indicated accordingly.

• If an object does not have a comparison partner, the comparison attributes cannot be seen (the objet cannot be expanded in the tree).

• Folders which do not contain any objects are not shown in the comparison tree.

Table 2-2

Icon Description

Object is present (is displayed in columns A and/or B).

Object is not present (is displayed in columns A and/or B).

Difference in at least one subordinate object or comparison attribute (is only dis-played if the folder or object is collapsed).

The comparison attribute is the same.

The comparison attribute is different.

The result of compilation does not match the source status of comparison part-ner A or B.

A same/different statement cannot be made. One possible cause of this is e.g. that the hardware configuration is being com-pared using the time stamp. If the time stamp deviates, a same/different state-ment cannot be made.

Siemens Spares




2.3 Comparison tree

The way in which the comparison tree is depicted is oriented towards the way trees are depicted in the project navigator. Depiction of the comparison attributes is added to the comparison tree. (See Overview of comparison attributes on page 4-33)

One tree is produced from the two trees/sub-trees of the comparison partners. If it has been possible to assign two of the comparison partners' objects, there is one entry in the tree, columns 'A' and 'B' feature the symbol for 'Object present'. If it has not been possible to assign any comparison partners, the symbol 'Object present' or 'Object not present' is shown in the corresponding column depending on whether it belongs to comparison partner A or comparison partner B (see example below).

Fig. 2-2 Example of merging comparison partners

If an object is only present for one comparison partner, no comparison attributes are shown in the tree. Subordinate folders and objects are shown.

If the comparison partners are different , the tree is shown expanded. This gives you a quick overview of the differences.

The comparison tree shows a snapshot. As a result of changes in the open project, the comparison status may no longer be up-to-date. You are informed of this status in the status bar: The comparison is no longer up-to-date.

Since the comparison tree is not automatically updated, you have to explicitly start the update by clicking on the Update button.

Note

You will find more information on assigning objects in the chapter Assignment of objects in object comparison, page 3-20.



2.4 Comparison attributes

In order to be able to analyze the differences when comparing objects, there are a series of comparison attributes per object type which structure an object into smaller units (comparison features) and in total contain all the object's data of rel-evance to the process.

You will already be familiar with some of the comparison attributes from the project navigator (e.g. global device variables). In addition to this, there are new attributes which can contain various pieces of data, such as the compilation result for programs, and these also contain the global and local compiler settings.

You will find an overview of the specific comparison attributes for SIMOTION, SINAMICS and MICROMASTER objects in chapter Overview of comparison attributes.

To enable the attributes to be compared as efficiently as possible, information is calculated, e.g. a check sum, which is stored along with the project or objects, and online too. If this information is not available (e.g. with the hardware configura-tion), a statement on the comparison cannot be made (indicated in the compari-son tree by ?).

You can start a detailed comparison for comparison attributes if you find differ-ences. The detailed comparison is available for

• ST programs,

• TOs (configuration data, system variables) and

• DOs (parameters).

You can compare and transfer the content of data in the detailed comparison.

Functions 33.1 Downloading additional data

To enable you to run a detailed comparison and if necessary a complete data transfer into PG/PC during an offline/online comparison, when downloading the project onto the target device, you must also save the additional data, e.g. sources, symbol information etc. This is a setting in the SIMOTION SCOUT.

Procedure

Proceed as follows:

1. Select the Options > Settings menu command. The Settings window appears.

2. Switch to the CPU-Download tab.

3. Activate Save additional data on the target device and confirm using OK.

The next time the project is downloaded to the target device, the additional data is saved on the target device. If deactivated, the additional data is deleted when next downloading to the target device.

3.2 Starting the object comparison

The object comparison is only undertaken using saved data. In contrast, the detailed comparison uses the data in the work memory of the PC/PG. The object and detailed comparisons may therefore result in different results.

You must note the following during an online comparison and a compari-son with a different project:

The comparison only uses the saved data in the open project.

During an online comparison the device you are comparing with is implicitly uploaded. The comparison is therefore made with a copy of the online data.

Note

The downloading of additional data is also available when using devices with older firmware versions if you have edited or converted the project with SIMO-TION SCOUT or Starter V4.1 SP2. The project then has to be recompiled and loaded.

Starting object comparison and selecting comparison partners

How to start the object comparison:

1. Click on the device with which you want to run the comparison in the project navigator.

2. Either start the object comparison via

− the menu bar using Options > Compare...,

− the button Start object comparison or

− the context menu for the comparable objects Compare....The following dialog appears.

Fig. 3-1 Select comparison partner dialog

The object you selected previously in the project navigator is highlighted as comparison partner A. If you had not selected an object, the first object in the list is highlighted.

3. Select comparison partner B. The following options are available:

− Object from the open project: You can select from the objects in the open project.

− Object from a saved project: First open a saved project using the button:

You can select from the objects in this project.

Note

A comparison with online objects is only possible if the objects are online. No implicit connection is established when the comparison is started!

Functions


− Object from the target system (online): (only possible in ONLINE mode and if the project is present in the target system)The object from the SCOUT or Starter is compared with the object on the target system.

4. The Start comparison button is activated once you have selected the object with which the comparison can be run. Open the object comparison using the button Start comparison.

Different versions detected (offline comparison with saved project)

If the comparison partner is in a different project, that was created with an older version of SIMOTION SCOUT, a comparison cannot be undertaken. The follow-ing note appears:

Fig. 3-2 Different comparison partner versions

In this case, first convert to the current version of SIMOTION SCOUT. Then restart the comparison.

Note

When comparing with a different project, this must at least be in SIMOTION SCOUT/Starter version 4.1. Otherwise you will first have to convert the project.

Siemens Spares


Functions


3.3 Assignment of objects in object comparison

The objects of the two comparison partners must be assigned to one another. The comparison types and comparison categories are needed for this:

Every object and every folder has just one comparison type and can be assigned to one comparison category. For example, two SIMOTION devices (e.g. C230 and D435) belong to the same category, but have different comparison types. A comparison category may therefore contain objects with different comparison types.

A distinction is made between the following cases when assigning objects:

• Manual assignment when selecting the comparison objects

• Automatic assignment of the subordinate objects

3.3.1 Manual selection of comparison objects

The comparison objects you have selected represent the roots in the comparison tree. The objects must at least belong to the same comparison category while the comparison type may differ.

If the names are different, e.g. CPU_1 is being compared with CPU_2, both names are shown in the root node of the comparison tree.

If the object types are different, a difference is marked and attempts are made to assign the lower level objects.

3.3.2 Automatic assignment of the subordinate comparison objects

During automatic assignment, all objects below the root are assigned taking their position in the tree into account. For example, axis 1 and axis 2 are assigned in the comparison. During automatic assignment of the subordinate objects attempts are made to assign the probes under axis 1 to the probes under axis 2 provided that they are of the same comparison type.

During a specific object to object assignment, a distinction is made between TOs/DOs and other objects:

Assignment of TOs/DOs using object addresses

TOs/DOs are assigned using their object address. In this case, the object address appears after the name: <Name>(<object address>). Since the name of the object may differ in this case, both names are shown in the event of deviation.

Note

When switching into ONLINE mode, TOs/DOs for the consistency display in the project navigator are also assigned using the object address.

Functions


When assigning using the object address, cases may arise where e.g. a probe under axis A1 has the same object address as the probe under axis A2 in the comparison project:

Fig. 3-3 Example of assignment when the object addresses differ

Since the object addresses are issued automatically, this may occur if the objects are created e.g. in a different order or using script.

But this assignment is not desirable as it would result in incorrect object assign-ment. The object address is therefore only taken into account within the same hierarchy level during assignment but not over hierarchy levels.

If necessary, you can change the object addresses of TOs yourself. This allows you to enforce correct assignment of the object address for TOs later on.

Assignment of other objects using names

Other objects, i.e. all objects outside the TOs/DOs, are assigned using their names.

Note

We would recommend always explicitly issuing the object address for TOs (See Changing the object address on page 3-22). You cannot change the address of DOs!

Note

If objects are not automatically assigned despite having the same name and are therefore positioned one above the other in the comparison tree, the comparison type is different.

Siemens Spares


Functions


3.3.3 Changing the object address

Procedure

To change the object address:

1. Select the appropriate TO in the project navigator.

2. In the context menu, open Properties....

3. Click on the Object address tab.

4. Change the object address in the New address field.

5. Click on the Assign button and confirm with OK.

Functions


3.4 Detailed comparison

3.4.1 Starting the detailed comparison

Requirement

The detailed comparison for ST programs, TOs and DOs can be started from the comparison tree by clicking on the

button.

You can only start the detailed comparison if

• you have found differences or

• if the additional data required is available for the online comparison.

In the detailed comparison, the corresponding content are shown next to one another, the differences marked and the transfer of changes from the comparison object into the reference object made possible if required.

Procedure

1. First run an object comparison on the device you want. (See Starting the object comparison on page 3-17)

2. The Start detailed comparison button is shown in the Status column for objects for which a detailed comparison can be run.

Fig. 3-4 Example of detailed comparison for two ST programs

3. Click on the Start detailed comparison button to compare the ST programs or DOs/TOs. The corresponding editors are opened next to one another in the view and the differences marked.

3.4.2 ST detailed comparison

The ST detailed comparison allows you to run a textual comparison on ST sources. The compared sources are shown next to one another and the differ-ences marked in color. Missing lines (marked in gray) are added so that identical lines can be shown synchronized.

You can transfer the differences line by line. You have to open the ST editor for editing. You cannot edit in the detailed comparison.

3.5 Data transfer

You can use the "Data transfer" function in the object comparison to transfer the data of the comparison object (B) into the open project (A). You can transfer indi-vidual data working from the detail comparison. You can run a complete online calibration from B to A using the function Download into PG/PC or from A to B using Download to target device.

Rules for data transfers in the object comparison

Rules applicable to the transfer:

• When you transfer an object, the content of the object is transferred in full from the comparison object (e.g. compiler settings too) and overwrites the data in the reference object. In other words, changes that you undertook in the refer-ence project may be lost!

• If the comparison partner is in the target system, the corresponding informa-tion must be available online. If this is not the case (e.g. if there is no intercon-nection information for DCC plans, or if the sources of ST programs have not been downloaded to the target device), the transfer is not possible.

• DOs cannot be transferred.

• A TO/program can be transferred into an existing TO/program. TOs/programs cannot on the other hand be created, e.g. in cases where there is not a TO in A, but there is one in B.

• TOs/DOs cannot be deleted by transferring them, e.g. if there is a TO/DO in A, but not in B.

• Know how-protected objects are transferred. Objects open in an editor are closed.

• When entire objects are transferred, the object address is also transferred (see duplicate assignment of an object address).

• If an object cannot be transferred because it is not present in the open project, you can create an "empty" object with the same object address (for TOs) or with the same name (for programs) and then repeat the data transfer. TOs or a program entry in the execution system then still has to be linked by hand.

• If you do not want to transfer entire objects but just individual pieces of data from an object, you can only do this in the detail comparison. Here you can for example transfer one particular change to an ST program (see detailed com-parison).

Note

In the event of errors when downloading to the PG, note the information on the detail view in the object comparison tab.

Procedure for data transfer

To transfer data, proceed as follows:

1. Place a check mark in the check box (see diagram below) for the object you want to transfer.

Fig. 3-8 Selection and transfer of objects

2. Start the transfer by clicking on the button Data transfer and confirm the fol-lowing dialog with OK.

Fig. 3-9 Data transfer dialog

Once transferred, the check box is replaced by a check mark. The result of the comparison in the object comparison is then no longer up-to-date. This is indi-cated in the status bar at the end of the view.

Fig. 3-10 View following transfer

Functions


Duplicate assignment of an object address

When transferring entire objects, the object address is also transferred. Since the object address in the address space of a SIMOTION device must be unique, address conflicts may result. A transfer which would result in a duplicate assign-ment is not carried out. The object affected by the address conflict is entered in the log in the detailed view.

Change the object address as required.

Overview of comparison attributes 4Below you will find an overview of the comparison attributes for SIMOTION, SINAMICS and MICROMASTER objects.

The comparison attributes are made up of several comparison features. There are various reasons for a difference in comparison attributes. A difference in the compilation result may e.g. result from program changes (source code) and/or a change to the compiler settings. The tables below describe the comparison attributes for the individual object types. They should help you to be able to quickly establish the causes in the event of a difference if a detailed comparison is not available.

We recommend the following procedure for efficiently finding the reason for a dif-ference to a comparison attribute:

• If necessary compile the project if the compilation result is no longer up-to-date

• Start detailed comparison, if available

• Search for description of comparison attribute in the object table

• Check the comparison features

To be able to check the comparison features (e.g. the compiler settings) during an online comparison, create a new project with a SIMOTION device and down-load the target devices into the PG for this new SIMOTION device. The additional data must have already been downloaded.

When comparing with a different project, we would recommend opening this in a second SCOUT/Starter.

Overview of comparison attributes


4.1 SIMOTION objects

SIMOTION device

Table 4-1 Comparison attributes of a SIMOTION device

Comparison attributes of a SIMOTION device

Comparison features which are included in the com-parison attribute

Execution system The configuration of the execution system:• The assignment of programs to the tasks• Configuration of tasks in the "Task configuration" tab• System cycle settings using the function "Set system

cycles..." (Servo, Ipo, Ipo_2, TControl)

Execution system - compila-tion result

The part which results from the project's compilation pro-cess. The compilation result includes:• The configuration of the execution system (see above) • The technology packages used

I/O variables • Configuration of I/O variables Note: Structural changes to the I/O variables are also included in the "HMI relevant data" comparison attribute.

Global device variables • Configuration global device variables Note: Structural changes to the global device variables are also included in the "HMI relevant data" comparison attribute.

HW config (time stamp com-parison)

Comparison of the hardware configuration is based solely on a time stamp comparison. The time stamp of the last change is used. A comparison undertaken on this basis only allows a same statement to be made if the time stamp is the same. If the time stamp is different, the hard-ware configuration may be the same or different. This is the case e.g. if the last change has been reversed. STEP7 SIMATIC manager offers a block comparison for such cases.

Offline comparisonThe comparison is undertaken as described above.

Online comparison (devices which have been down-loaded with a SCOUT/STARTER version <= V4.1 SP2)The comparison result is always uncertain (=?) because the time stamp is not available online.The statement is that the hardware configuration is not included in the comparison. Displaying this attribute avoids the SIMOTION device being displayed as incon-sistent in the project navigator, but everything is the same in the object comparison (the only difference is in the HW config).



HW config (system integra-tion)

The data from the hardware configuration which is included in the SIMOTION configuration:• I/O addressing (in HW config)• DP cycle (bus cycle)• Equidistant bus cycle

Devices which have been downloaded with a SCOUT/STARTER version <= V4.0:Comparison attribute is only available offline.

Device settings • Device name• Behavior of dynamic data during STOP/RUN transition• Fast I/O configuration (onboard I/Os, TM15/TM17 high

feature)Devices which have been downloaded with a SCOUT/STARTER version <= V4.0:This comparison attribute is not present.

System variables • Configuration of system variables in the SIMOTION device

TO interconnections • Interconnections of TOs on the target device

HMI relevant data Records the structural set-up (data type of variables, number of variables) of the data which an HMI system can access. If the set-up changes, the HMI configuration must be updated. Data included:• Structure information of I/O variables • Structure information of global device variables

For every library used:Compilation result <Lib-name>

• Compilation result of the specific device versionThis comparison attribute is only shown if a library is used.A library comparison can be undertaken for a detailed comparison.

Technology objects (TO)

Sources

The following overview applies to ST, KOP, FUP and MCC.

Table 4-2 Comparison attributes of a TO

Comparison attributes of a technology object (TOs)


Configuration Contains the configuration of a TO, consisting of• The configuration setting (linear/rotary axis; TO acti-

vated/deactivated) • All configuration data (see list of experts) • Indirect influence of unit configuration 1

1 The unit and value of a technological parameter are always viewed separately and not the result-ant parameter. That means: If a unit configuration is changed, the configuration data and systemvariables will be different to the original setting, even if the values in the new unit have been con-verted and the result parameter is the same.A linear axis/pressure uses different physical parameters to a linear axis/force; even if the numer-ical values are the same, these different parameters will result in a difference.

System variables • The system variable of the TO• Indirect influence of unit configuration and configuration

settings 1

Units • Configuration of unitsThis comparison attribute is not present in cam discs.

Alarm configuration • Configuration of TO alarms (see TechnologicalFault-Task)

HMI relevant data Records the structural set-up (data type of variables, number of variables) of the data which an HMI system can access. If the set-up changes, the HMI configuration must be updated. Data included:• The configuration data• The object address (see TO properties)• Indirect influence of unit configuration and configuration

settings 1

For TO cam disc only:Configuration data

• Configuration data of cam disc (e.g. support points, interpolation, scaling)

Source code • The source text (based on ASCII)



Compilation result The compilation result for a source includes:• The source text of relevance to execution, i.e. every-

thing apart from comments and formats• The compiler settings (local and global)• The compiler version (e.g. compilation with new

SCOUT)• External references − Interfaces of other sources used− Interfaces of libraries used− Global device variables used− I/O variables used− TOs used− Tasks used in the task control commands− Message configuration (the numbers assigned to

symbols) If a different number has been assigned to a symbol of an alarmS configuration and this symbol has been used in this program, then the source code is the same in both cases but the compilation result is dif-ferent. If you need to work out online which number has been used for a symbol, you upload a device into an empty project. There you can look into the mes-sage configuration (the symbols and the assigned numbers are entered there during the upload)

HMI relevant data Records the structural set-up (data type of variables, number of variables) of the data which an HMI system can access. If the set-up changes, the HMI configuration must be updated. Data included:

Offline comparison• VAR_GLOBAL variables of the source• The object address (see source properties)

Online comparison• At the moment the comparison attribute does not pro-

duce a meaningful result.
