Note on the Structure of the Project Path
The project path is the physical path in the file system.
The complete logical path has the following structure:
[View ID,online ID]:project name\{object name\}*\ object name
Example: /o 1.8:MyConfig\SIMATIC 400(1)\CPU416-1\S7-Program(1)\Blocks\FB1
The path of network drives must be specified in UNC notation (= Universal Naming Convention, in
other words \\<servername>\<share>\...).
Example: \\<servername>\<share>\SIEMENS\STEP7\S7proj\MyConfig\MyConfig.s7p /keep
Note on the Structure of the Logical Path
The complete logical path and the Object ID can only be created using the copy and paste
functions.
However, it is also possible to specify the path which can be read by the user. In the example
above, that would be:
/o "MyConfig\SIMATIC 400(1)\CPU416-1\S7-Program(1)\Blocks\FB1". By adding /onl or /off the
user can specify whether the path is valid in the online or offline window. You do not need to
specify this if you use the copy and paste functions.
Important: If the path contains blanks, it must be placed within quotation marks.
