Configuring the comparison for Siemens SINUMERIK Operate

You can configure for individual jobs, which files are to be compared during job execution (e.g. if your SINUMERIK component contains an S7 project).

  1. Open the Comparison configuration dialog.

    Figure: Comparison configuration dialog

  2. If there are several projects in a component, select the corresponding project from the dropdown menu.

  3. Define rules for handling Files and Variables.

    • Enter the name of the file for which you want to make changes.
    • Enter the variables that are not to be taken into account during comparison. You can use placeholders.
    • If your 840D component contains an S7 project and you want to compare this separately, you must exclude the folder /PLC/* from the comparison.

  4. Select OK to confirm.

  5. Select the Comparison configuration for SIMATIC S7 button and specify which blocks should not be compared.

    This button is only available if you have selected the PLC and With S7 comparison checkboxes under Backup.
