Sync Config
Note that this functionality is only available for PROFINET IO bus systems!
The command (category Devices) provides a comfortable way to synchronize the
configuration settings of a PROFINET slave device, defined within the project, with
those defined on a corresponding device (same device id and vendor id) in the
connected hardware. That means that the local settings will be overwritten with the
hardware settings.
Perform the following steps: Set the appropriate communication path. Then in offline
mode select the PROFINET slave in the device tree and use command "Sync Config"
from the context menu. The Scan Devices dialog will open and a search for matching
devices on the hardware will be executed. The found devices will be listed. You can
fade out those, which are already used within the project (identified by their station
name), by activating option Hide used devices. You can restart the scan process by
button Scan Devices.
Abb. 99 Dialog "Scan Devices" for offline configuration synchronization, example
To overwrite the configuration settings of the device in the project with those from
the hardware device, select the desired device in the list and use button Copy to
project. Possibly added subdevices will not be removed by this action.
