Version Management In Conjunction With Output Blocks - Siemens SINUMERIK 840D sl Commissioning Manual

Expanding the Operator Interface (BE1)
3 Syntax
Editor changes in the parts program produce the following response:
Number of blocks remains
unchanged
Number of blocks is reduced
Number of blocks is increased
Note
The NC code can be generated in an extra file by means of file functions and
transferred to the NC. For more information about NC code generation, see
Subsection 3.6.6 "File functions".

Version management in conjunction with OUTPUT blocks

Additional variables can be added to existing screen forms when
expanding/refining the user interface. A version identifier in parentheses is
appended to the additional variables in the definition following the variable name:
(0 = Original, is not written), 1 = Version 1,
2 = Version 2, ...
Example:
DEF var100=(R//1)
DEF var101(1)=(S//"Hello")
When writing the OUTPUT block, you can specify which variables are written, with
reference to a particular version identifier.
Example:
OUTPUT(NC1)
OUTPUT(NC1,1)
The OUTPUT block for the original version does not need a version identifier,
however you can specify it with 0. OUTPUT(NC1) is equivalent to OUTPUT(NC1,0).
Version identifier n in the OUTPUT block includes all variables of the originals 0, 1,
2, ... up to and including n.
The read-only screen form property CURVER allows the configuration to be
adapted in order to handle different versions.
(IF CURVER==1 ...)
The code is automatically generated with the newest version, even if the code was
previously recompiled with an older version.
The GC command always generates the newest version.

Condition
;Original, corresponds to Version 0
;Extension with effect from Version 1

;The variables of the original version and the
;extensions with version identifier 1 are made
;available in the OUTPUT block
On reset, CURVER is automatically set with the
version of the recompiled code.
Procedure
