Hello
I have a question about integrating an offline project for testing(PLC with same IP address as online), same type PLC and some exact tags and new tags of course, into an online PLC(same IP address as offline). In all of your experience and opinion what would be the best way to go about this?
These are the differences
Online(Currently running machine)PLC
Controller name "PLC"
Has Main Control
MAIN
In
Gauge
Out
Offline project(same IP)
Controller name "PLC"
Has MAIN control
(no In)
(no Gauge)
RobotMainControl
Robot1Unload
Robot2Unload
Out (most tags remained some are new)
So I still need the In and Gauge subprograms. So would it be just as easy to copy and paste the 3 new robot programs(from offline) into the current running PLC controller. And I would have to create all these new tags again? Of can you just copy and paste the tags into the tag data base and therefore not have to create them all? And as for Scope if I already have them under PLC scope would it still recognize that PLC scope even though if was from a different processor? Just curious.....Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
