6.12 Online multiuser mode
6.12.1 Overview
Thanks to the new Project comparison, Device upload and Download with supplementary data
functions, several users can exchange project data that has been modified via the target
device, online. This allows them to synchronize the status of their own SIMOTION project with
that of another one, thereby updating it.
In online multiuser mode, it is possible for two users to work online on the same
SIMOTION device. The following functions can be performed:
● Read and control system variables and configuration data
● Execute measuring functions and axis control panel
● Upload configuration data
● Upload programs or technology objects and other settings (e.g. execution system)
● Edit and download programs (following prior alignment, if applicable)
● Download individual program sources (possible even when other sources are inconsistent)
