Ignoring blocks created by the SCL compiler

Info

Blocks created can be identified by their author. If the author is ES_MAP, then the block was created with the SCL compiler. You can configure octoplant so that blocks created by the SCL compiler are compared or ignored.

  1. Open the AdminClient.
  2. Select the INI files menu. The Edit ini file dialog is displayed.
  3. Select the Compare\Classes.ini file.
  4. Click on Edit.
  5. Search for the [SimaticS7] section. If this section does not exist in the INI file, create it at the end of the file.

  6. Set the key with the corresponding value:

    36802=Y: The blocks generated by the SCL compiler are ignored

    36802=N: The blocks generated by the SCL compiler are not ignored (default setting).

    Example:

    [SimaticS7]
36802=Y

  7. Save the file.
