2.14 Notes and tips
Own project directory
Store each ADDM project in its own directory.
This directory must be created with the Explorer before creating an ADDM project.
Note
The location of the ADDM project can only be selected when it is saved for the
first time. Thereafter, the projects can only be transferred to other drives with the
"Copy Project/Part Project" function.
The project data of A&D DataManagement, the STEP7 projects and other data
should each be stored in its own subdirectory:
All data are copied when copying the whole Project name directory. ADDM updates
the drive at every program start, and finds the data. If the structure and data are
stored separately, there is a danger that a part of the data will be forgotten when
copying or that the directory names stored in ADDM will no longer match the
current names.
• S7 projects and ADDM projects should lie on the same drive.
• Error loading the MCU172A
This can occur if the previously edited MCU was not measured in mm, and
you load rotary axes in degree or axes in inch.
The blocks are nevertheless read in without error if you acknowledge the
message with "OK". The new system of units is activated after restarting
the MCU, and the error messages are deleted.
• Special characters in project and directory names
These are not permitted. The DOS conventions must be observed when
using another program developed under MS DOS to access structures
created by A&D DataManagement.
• Write access
ADDM writes to the current drive during operation.
• Deleting components
This is done in ADDM by moving the items concerned to the WINDOWS
"Recycle" bin. The data can thus be restored if necessary.
Caution
Be very careful when deleting components! Restoring from the Recycle bin alone
does not yet make the data stocks available in ADDM again.
