PL7 DIF application comparison software
PL7 DIF application comparison software for Premium platforms is an optional
program which complements the PL7 Pro programming software. It is used to
compare two PL7 applications generated by PL7 Pro and automatically provide an
exhaustive list of all the differences between them.
The PL7 DIF program increases productivity in the main life phases of a control
system based on a Premium platform:
b Application development and debugging.
b Starting up installations and processes.
b Operation and maintenance of installations and processes.
PL7 DIF software is an efficient tool for handling PL7 applications for:
b Control system design offices.
b Operation and maintenance managers.
b Installers and systems integrators.
The PL7 DIF software can be used in one of two modes:
b Interactive mode, when the comparison is launched by an operator command
(double-click on the PL7Diff software icon).
b “Batch” mode, when it is launched by a previously established call command.
These comparison commands locate all the differences between two applications in
terms of:
b The hardware configuration.
b The application access protection.
b The software structure with the section validation conditions.
b The application program regardless of the language(s) used.
b The function modules.
b The code for the DFB user function blocks.
b All the variables.
The result of the comparison between the two applications can be:
b Displayed.
b Printed.
b Saved in .txt format in a differences list.
The end of the comparison operation is signalled by the appearance of the
application browser with its three tabs.
1 Identification tab for accessing the characteristics of the two applications being
compared. The differences are marked by the sign #.
2 Browser tab for accessing the application multilevel tree structure.
3 List tab for accessing:
v Printing the comparison list,
v Creating the comparison file.
