This feature simplifies replacing and cloning modules. The configuration between the currently connected module and the current board file are compared at the following times:
When a board file is opened while a module is connected.
When a new module is connected to RMCWin.
The following items are compared:
All physical hardware (e.g. PROFIBUS-DP, RMC100 CPU, and two MDTs).
All hardware configuration options. This includes all options editable from the RMC Configuration dialog box and none of the axis parameters. Examples of hardware configuration options include PROFIBUS-DP station address, analog channel assignments, and MDT blanking period settings.
Note: The parameters, event step table, input-to-event table, motion profile table, and status map tables in the module are not compared.
If there is a conflict when a new connection is made with an RMC, then the current board file is closed. The user is given the option of saving any changes, if there were changes. The data is then read from the RMC into an untitled board file. You may then either use the newly created board file or attempt opening another board file.
If the conflict occurs when you are already connected to an RMC and attempt to open a board file, then the Resolve Configuration Conflict dialog box is displayed. See Resolve Configuration Conflict Dialog Box for details.
To disable this feature:
On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Preferences tab.
Select the Ignore configuration conflicts check box.
