Possible problems when working with distributed projects
The PG/PC assignment is not visible if the allocation of projects is changed and a project is opened
on a PG/PC on which it was not created.
Nonetheless, the configured PG/PC object still maintains the "assigned" status - but with the
"wrong" PG/PC.
In this case you must clear the existing assignment and then reassign the PG/PC object. Online
access to modules available within the multiproject is then possible without any problem.
Tip for working with distributed projects
If more than one of the team members wants to access the PLCs online on their PG, it would be
useful to create one "PG/PC" or "SIMATIC PC station" object in the multiproject and then set up an
assignment for each one of the PGs.
Depending on which PG has opened the project, SIMATIC Manager indicates only the object
assigned to this PG with a yellow arrow.
