Hello,
I have several PLC projects with elaborate hardware configurations and now at field commissioning I see that some of the order numbers are not exactly what is in the hardware configuration (example - "6ES7 151-1AA05-0AB0" vs "6ES7 151-1AA06-0AB0"). I would like to change the order number, but it seems it cannot be changed without creating a new module of the right type and then repopulating all the information. This is especially painful because some of these modules have elaborate configurations, which can be copy and pasted, but the I/Q addresses cannot be replicated without first deleting the original, in which case you can no longer paste it.
So right now I'm looking at it and it seems like it'll be a nightmare to correct all the instances of wrong order number. I'm thinking there's got to be a better way?
