SIMATIC Version Cross Manager
Comparison of versions

What details have changed from one archive version of a project to the next version? The Version Cross Manager compares objects and their attributes that are grouped hie­rarchically or can be mapped to a tree structure. The Version Cross Manager displays the differences in graphical form. This becomes necessary, for instance, after acceptance by the customer, the German Technical Inspectorate (TÜV) or FDA representatives.
