Shared commissioning of projects
Team Engineering
In Team Engineering several users from various engineering systems work on a project at
the same time and access one ET 200SP CPU.
The users can edit separate parts of a master project independently of one another at the
same time. The changes of the other editors are displayed in a synchronization dialog during
the loading of the configuration in the CPU and synchronized automatically, if possible.
Certain online functions can also be executed at the same time from several engineering
systems on a shared CPU, such as:
●
Monitoring blocks on the CPU
●
Modifying blocks on the CPU
●
Trace functions
You can find detailed information on the topic of Team Engineering in the STEP 7 online
help.
10.11
Backing up and restoring the CPU configuration
10.11.1
Overview
Backup from online device
You will make a number of changes to your plant over time, for example, add new devices,
replace existing devices or adapt the user program. If these changes result in undesirable
behavior, you can restore the plant to an earlier state. Before you load a changed
configuration to the CPU, first use the option "Backup from online device" to create a
complete backup of the current device status.
Upload from device (software)
With the option "Upload from device (software)", you load the software project data from the
CPU to an existing CPU in the project.
Upload device as new station
If you are operating a new programming device/PC in the plant, the STEP 7 project that was
used to create the plant configuration might not be available. In this case you can use the
option "Upload device as new station" to load the device's data into a project in your PG/PC.
Snapshot of the monitor values
You can use the option "Snapshot of the monitor values" to backup the current values of the
data block, in order to be able to restore the current values if necessary at a later date.
