Overview

When system monitoring is active, you can see whether a module or device of the system project is incompatible with or different from the physical module or device that is configured with the same IP address.

An incompatibility or identification mismatch is indicated by an icon on the representation of the object in physical views and you cannot deploy to it nor load data from a device. A dialog box opens when you attempt to do so.

For more information on M580 CPU module compatibility, refer to the topics describing PC to PAC transfer and CPU application compatibility.

NOTE: The incompatibility or identification mismatch is detected also when system monitoring is inactive but no icon indicates it.

Identification Mismatch Icon

The icon that indicates an incompatibility or identification mismatch is the same as the yellow triangle icon indicating a not operational device.

The tooltip indicates Device different.

Detection Method and Supported Devices

The diagnostic engine that runs on the computer acting as Control Expert server sends a Modbus request with function code 43, subcode 14 to objects by using the IP address of their embedded interface.

The compatibility or identification mismatch detection functionality is supported only for modules and devices that respond with a ProductCode (product code) value that is identical to their Part Number as it appears in the Schneider Electric catalog.

For example, the functionality is supported for an M580 CPU module because the returned ProductCode value and its Part Number are both equal to, for example,BMEP582040.
