DoMore Compare PLC Programs

[willpoll]

Sorry if this has been covered somewhere but is there a way to output the comparison between the disk program and the PLC program to a file?

I updated a program several months ago, but never downloaded it to the PLC and can't recall all the changes I made, and now that I need to add additional functions I don't want to build on the old version, if the newer version improved something.

Thanks!

Your best bet is to open 2 Designer instances, one with the PLC project (opened via the COMM LINK), and one with the DISK project.  You will need to do a PLC->Disconnect on the ONLINE one so that the DISK one can re-use the link (or if it's Ethernet, create a NEW LINK and use the NEW link when opening the PLC project).

Then use the PROGRAM Designer's COMPARE on the DISK project to navigate the differences, and copy/paste/whatever those into the PLC Designer.

You will want to do a SAVE-AS to disk of your PLC project and call it something <original name>_ONLINE_EDITED.dmd
