Only with the New Online option does the Do-more PLC assume that you are creating a new
project from scratch. With any other method, such as PLC > Connect, the software will compare
the project in the controller with the offline version you have open. If there are any differences,
this warning window will appear detailing the options available for continuing:
1. Go Online and view the DISK project - This option
will go online with the PLC but display the project
from disk. Status displays may show incorrect
information. If the memory configuration in the diskbased project contains elements that are incompatible
with the memory configuration currently in the
Do-more PLC the message box seen here will be
displayed.
2. Go Online and view the PLC project – The project from the PLC will be opened by Do-more!
Designer.
3. Cancel, and return to Offline – This option will cancel the connection attempt and return to the
offline project.
4. Compare Programs... – If you are unsure as to why the two projects are different, then this option
will do a comparison of the projects and detail the differences found. An example comparison is
seen below.
