Project comparison
You intend to perform servicing work on a commissioned system and have placed a project
on your PG/PC. This project is not consistent with the project on the D4x5‑2 in the system. In
order to analyze the differences, perform an object comparison via "Start object comparison".
You have the following options in terms of re-establishing consistency:
● In the object comparison, you can establish consistency for sources and technology objects
on an object-granular basis.
● Consistency can be established for the entire Control Unit by loading from the CF card via
"Target system" > "Load" > "Load CPU / drive unit to PG…."
