  5. In the Device field, enter the IP address or the name of the device.

  6. In the Application password field, enter the password with which the user can log in to the device.

    The Application password is optional. However, if you choose to use it, you must configure the appropriate settings both in the Schneider Security Editor and in the Global settings module, as described in Using the Schneider Security Editor.

  7. In the Connection mode dropdown menu, select whether upload and comparison should be performed as before (Programming mode (backup)) or whether only a checksum comparison should be performed (Monitoring mode (checksum)).

    If you select Monitoring mode (checksum), the signatures of the controller are compared with each other. Only changes are detected and the controller is displayed as changed.

    Info

    No restore can be performed with the backup of a checksum comparison.

  8. Optional: If you also want to save the current values, select the Save data from PLC to file checkbox. The data is stored in a DTX file.
