Topic: DMD0343 Do-more Technology Versions |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Do-more Technology version defines a set of features and a level of functionality that are available for use in a Do-more project. A particular Do-more Technology version is made available through a combination of the Do-more Designer programming software and the Do-more CPU firmware. Features that change the Do-more Technology version typically require changes to both the programming software and to the CPU firmware. While editing a project during an online session, Do-more Designer will use Program Check rules to make sure that any feature or functional component that is added to the project is available in the current firmware in the connected CPU.
Press the F1 key at any time to open the Help topic which contains the revision history of the Do-more Technology Versions.
Do-more Designer
is the Do-more Technology version of the currently running Do-more Designer
programming software. Disk Project
is the Do-more Technology version that was in use when the project was
saved to disk. PLC Project is the Do-more Technology version that was in use when the project was
saved to the CPU. Offline
will appear when there is no online session. PLC OS is the Do-more Technology version supported by the firmware of the currently connected CPU. Offline will appear when there is no online session.
