Scan over existing Configuration
Attention
Change of the configuration after comparison
With this scan (TwinCAT2.11 or 3.1) only the device properties vendor (manufacturer), de-
vice name and revision are compared at present! A ‘ChangeTo’ or ‘Copy’ should only be
carried out with care, taking into consideration the Beckhoff IO compatibility rule (see
above). The device configuration is then replaced by the revision found; this can affect the
supported process data and functions.
If a scan is initiated for an existing configuration, the actual I/O environment may match the configuration
exactly or it may differ. This enables the configuration to be compared.

If differences are detected, they are shown in the correction dialog, so that the user can modify the
configuration as required.

It is advisable to tick the “Extended Information” check box to reveal differences in the revision.
