The table indicates the following differences if found in the two circuit programs:

  • Number of blocks

  • Block parameters

  • Additional/missing blocks

  • Connections

  • Different hardware

Editing

All options are available to you for separate editing of the two circuit programs.

Different hardware

A considerable number of messages may be output if you have configured different LOGO! devices in the circuit programs you want to compare.

In this case, match the LOGO! devices in your programs.

Note

When you compare circuit programs with internal markers, in some circumstances LOGO!Soft Comfort reports more differences than there really are.
