New B&R’s APROL functions prevent unwanted changes

The new CaeBackup/CaeRestore options
for B&R’s APROL process control system ensure even better security when
using standardised libraries. Users can lock these libraries in the target
database. This prevents unwanted changes to libraries when the engineering data
is transferred. Both intentional and accidental changes are prevented.

In order to ensure and check the
consistency of exchange between individual projects and libraries, all versions
of project parts now include a checksum. During database optimisation, the
checksums of all versions of the project parts are checked and corrected if
necessary. CAE warnings are generated in the event of defective or invalid
checksums in the database. This allows the user to reliably detect changes and
initiate any necessary corrective measures.    

The CaeBackup/CaeRestore options for
the APROL process control system automatically prevent unwanted changes.
