Note
Project data can generate high data traffic. Especially in RUN mode with read/write access
to the CPU, this can lead to waiting periods of several minutes.
Sample application
When you assign more than one member of your service and maintenance department to
perform maintenance tasks on a SIMATIC PLC, it may prove difficult to provide quick access
to current configuration data to each staff member.
However, CPU configuration data available locally on any CPU that is to be serviced can be
accessed by any member of the service department. They can edit these data and then
release the updated version to all other personnel.
