Check Block Consistency Tools
The check block consistency tools are used to check the interface conflicts within a data block, function block, and user-defined blocks.
Let’s learn how to check and use the check block consistency tool with some programming block.
Step 1:
Open Simatic manager. Open an existing project or create a new one.
Here I will show you blocks of the plant programming and will check faulty block using block consistency tools.
Step 2:
In the block section, do right click and select check block consistency tools as shown in the below window.
Step 3:
Click on tools that will open up a new window.
Step 4:
Now, click on the icon as shown in the below window. Which will only show the conflict block with a red sign or yellow sign.
The red sign indicates blocks that are not compiled and the yellow exclamation mark shows the conflict in the block.
Step 5:
To know what symbol indicates, simply choose any block and press “F1” to know the symbol and its meaning.
Step 6:
To solve the problem, click on the “Compile All’ icon as shown in the below window.
Now, close the tools and open it again and conflicts are solved.
