Compiling and downloading

9.1 Compiling the user program
The charts are reproduced in functions (FC) and data blocks (DB) when compiling the user
program. The program is also checked for consistency, errors and warnings.
A one-off compilation of the overall program is required at the start. Following this a compilation
of the changes will suffice.
When compiling in PCS 7 it is important that the "Generate module drivers" option is always
selected where HW Config of the AS has been changed beforehand.
Note
As of PCS 7 V7.0, the two options "Make textual interconnections" and "Delete Empty Runtime
Groups" are no longer available in the compilation dialog; they appear in the CFC editor
instead. The sampling times are updated during every compilation.
