Uploading Run-Time Configuration Changes for Auto Assigned Objects

If changes are made during run time to an auto assigned I/O reference, you can upload these changes as overrides to the original assignments. Invalid changes are ignored, and an error message is sent to the OCMC Logger.

• Run-time changes to scan groups or DI objects are saved as Device.ScanGroup overrides.

• Run-time changes to objects or attributes are saved as Object.Attribute overrides.

When you look at the object in the IO Devices view, you will see that the original I/O auto assignment setting is retained and the object remains auto assigned to its original DI object and scan group.

The changes uploaded from run time will appear in the Resulting References column of the Mapping view. The same information from run time will appear when you examine the object’s I/O attributes in the Object Editor. These changes are preserved across subsequent redeployments.

To upload run-time configuration changes

1. From the Model or Derivation view, select the object(s) with run-time changes you want to preserve.

2. Click Upload Runtime Changes from the Object menu. The Upload Runtime Changes dialog box will appear and provide status of the upload process.
