Working in online multiuser mode
Online consistency
As of V4.4, the online consistency flags are updated event-driven. As soon as a change takes
place, SCOUT/STARTER is informed and the flags are updated. You can then no longer debug
changed sources. The following requirements apply:
● SIMOTION controllers, as of V4.2
● SINAMICS drives, as of V2.6
● Only structural changes (genuine inconsistency) are taken into account in the case of
SINAMICS drives.
Online multiuser mode
When several users work simultaneously, this can result in the following overlaps, for example:
● A user creates a program that is not known on the second computer.
● A user changes the execution system. The change is not known on the second computer.
To accept the changes of other users in your own project, various additional functions have
been implemented in SIMOTION SCOUT:
● Download a number of programs: This makes it possible to load only those programs to a
controller that are currently being edited, e.g. by a specific user.
● You can see changes to the execution system in the project comparison. You can then
upload the changes via the detailed comparison.
Upload the source of another user
If another user has loaded a source to the controller that is part of your project, you cannot
load this to the local SCOUT via the project comparison. To upload the source, proceed as
follows:
1. Create an empty source with the same name in your project.
2. Perform an online/offline project comparison. An inconsistency is displayed in the
comparison for the empty source.
3. Then change to the detailed comparison. The inconsistent source is displayed there.
4. Load the source to your project. By doing this, you make sure that you have a consistent
project.
Avoid inconsistencies by loading via HW Config
The matching of the data by uploading to PG is supported only for SCOUT data. Furthermore,
changes can be made to the hardware configuration, e.g. changes to addresses of the X142
interface. These changes must be replicated explicitly in the hardware configuration.
