Requirements

  • To carry out uploads, a compatible version of the editor must be installed on the same computer on which the server or an agent is running. The use of agents is recommended for the upload of Emerson PAC Machine Edition. If you are using multiple versions of Emerson PAC Machine Edition or GE Proficy Machine Edition, you need a separate Upload agent for each version.

  • The server or agent must be running on the local system account with the Allow data exchange between service and desktop (user activity) option enabled.

  • Emerson uses the API for upload and comparison. Starting from version 101.0, to use octoplant with the Emerson API, you need the PAC Machine Edition ProPlus Development Suite license.

Restrictions

  • Changes to diagnostic logic blocks, FAT/SAT, supplemental files of a PLC target are not recognized.
