The Version mapping tab of the Library Manager allows you to edit the version mapping for forward compatible libraries (FCL).
The Version mapping tab consists of two tables:
oThe upper table lists the forward compatible libraries that are included in the EcoStruxure Machine Expert project.
It also lists legacy libraries if a newer, forward compatible version of these libraries exists. Legacy libraries are libraries that have been created with a SoMachine version 3.1 or lower and that are not yet forward compatible. You can recognize these libraries by the entry Legacy in the Configured version column of the table.
It also lists legacy libraries if a newer, forward compatible version of these libraries exists. Legacy libraries are not yet forward compatible. You can recognize these libraries by the entry Legacy in the Configured version column of the table.
oThe lower part of the table provides further information on the library selected in the upper table. It shows dependencies on other forward compatible libraries and device descriptions.
Changing the Version of a Library
The Version mapping tab of the Library Manager allows you to edit the version mapping of the libraries in different ways:
oYou can automatically perform the version mapping for the libraries listed in the table by clicking the Automatic button. This has the following effects:
oThe forward compatible libraries are updated to the newest forward compatible library version available.
oThe legacy libraries are changed into forward compatible libraries and are updated to the newest forward compatible library version available.
oYou can perform the version mapping for one specific library manually. To achieve this, right-click the library and execute the command Edit version mapping (selected library). Then you can select the dedicated version number to be used for this library.
oAlternatively, you can click the Configured version column to open a list displaying the available versions. Select the desired version from the list.
Library with Unresolved Dependencies
FCL libraries with unresolved dependencies are displayed with a red background in the upper table. Select this library to display further information about required dependencies and compatible versions in the lower table. Unresolved dependencies are marked red in the lower table. For example, if no compatible device version is used in the project, then the line Accepted device description is marked red. If a required library dependency is missing, then the line Required forward compatible libraries and the unfulfilled library dependency are marked red.
If a device is listed in the device dependencies details table as compatible, but is not installed in the version of EcoStruxure Machine Expert that you are using, then the text Unsupported device is displayed in the line, together with the device ID.
