About the Resolve Conflict dialog box

For Siemens S7 Controllers (STEP7), the
Resolve Conflict
dialog box can be shown because conflicts occur.
Conflicts can occur if:
  • a selected block already exists in the Configuration Data binder.
  • the code timestamp of a block in the Backup Data binder is different than the one in the Configuration Data binder.
  • a block's data is different than that block's data in the Configuration Data binder.
  • the interface timestamp of a block in the Backup Data binder is different than the one in the Configuration Data binder.
    TIP:
    No distinction is made between these different types of conflicts when you select
    Yes to All
     or
    No to All
     in the
    Resolve Conflicts
     dialog box. If you select Yes to All, all blocks of that type will be copied regardless of the type of conflict. If you select
    No to All
    , no blocks of that type will be copied even if they have a different type of conflict than the block indicated.

One of the blocks selected to be copied to Configuration Data was OB1. After selecting blocks and clicking

 on the

 page of the wizard, the following message is shown.
Resolve_Conflict_1
After clicking
Yes
 on this message, the following message is shown.
Resolve_Conflict_2
Clicking
Yes to All
 copies all OB blocks that were selected on the second page of the wizard. If other OB blocks had different types of conflicts (such as different data), they are included in the copy without any further messages. In this example, the next page of the wizard is shown as shown with no messages about a conflict with OB1.
