Project Menu

Command Toolbar button Keyboard shortcut Description

Rebuild - - Compiles the entire project without an automatically following transfer to the controller (and the Safety PLC, if included). You can use this command, for example, after editing the project or eliminating any errors the compiler reported during code development, or if changes have been made in a referenced user library.
If a Safety PLC is included, the command rebuilds both the standard and the safety-related project parts.
The 'IEC 61131-3' node additionally provides its own 'Rebuild...' context menu command in the PLANT which rebuilds the standard project part separately.
Refer to the topic "Rebuilding the Project (without Writing) ‣ Rebuilding the Project (without Writing)
×‣ Rebuilding the Safety-Related Project (without Writing)
×" for details.

Change Password - - Opens the 'Project Password Definition' for changing the Safety-related Area password. Refer to the topic "Safety-Related Area with Password Protection" for details.

Change Language Profile - - Opens the 'Language Profile Selection' dialog where you can specify the safety-related functional language range (and this way the applicable standard) to be used in the project.
Functional language range in SNOLD: LVL or FVL.

Compared to the functional range of standard FBD/LD, some restrictions apply in SNOLD regarding the available language objects. Which restrictions these are depends on your application and the applicable safety requirements. Depending on the applicable safety regulations and standards, PLCnext Engineer supports a Limited Variability Language (LVL) or a Full Variability Language (FVL). FVL comprises more language objects and possibilities as LVL. Jumps, for example, are only available in an FVL.

Compare Projects - - Compares the loaded project with a solution stored on your computer.
Starts the Project Comparison tool integrated in PLCnext Engineer.

Compare Online Project - - Compares the project loaded in PLCnext Engineer with the project that was last written to the controller.
Starts the Project Comparison tool integrated in PLCnext Engineer.
