Working With Projects in the Multiproject
16.7 Multiproject-Oriented Network View
The multiproject-oriented network view provides an overview of all stations in a
multiproject with the connections to their respective subnets.
Cross-project subnets are only shown in this view in context (i.e. like a subnet).
The name of the displayed cross-project subnet is the name of the subnet group.
You can print out the multiproject-oriented network view, and you can download to
all stations from this view. However, you cannot edit or save projects in this view.
Requirements
• This function can only be started from a project that is part of a multiproject.
• All changes made to projects in the multiproject must be saved. If necessary,
you will be prompted to do so.
• All project in the multiproject must be accessible (this is relevant for distributed
projects).
• Projects in a multiproject must not be write-protected (read-only).
• No connection status must be activated in an opened project (from which
multiproject-oriented network view is supposed to be started).
Procedure
1. In the network view, select a project with the View > Multiproject-Oriented
Network View menu command.
After this, the menu command is enabled with a check mark.
2. Position the objects as you like. You can also print out the multiproject-oriented
network view.
3. From this view, you can download to all stations in the multiproject (command:
PLC > Download ...)
4. To return to the "normal" network view of the project, select the View >
Multiproject-Oriented Network View menu command once again.
When you close the project, all positions of the object are automatically saved as
well.
