I don't recommend an object - only if you have this combination several times and if there is an "organization" for the support of this object (e.g. object is created and maintained by plant TEF). The project specific solution looks like this in Control plus Studio or OES: If you want to make copy & paste between projects/stations easier, you can create it as an subtree: Of course you should create three commands for the three positions , manual functions and an HMI with all inputs/outputs on the CommandHandler (ThreeBasMoveSolution/TwoBasMoveSolution). In case of ThreeBasMoveSolution the manual functions of the S1-S3 BasMove do not help the operators/service. Therefore you could hide them in the HMI: Hiding objects should be used rarely because you are hiding functionality. You should not only focus on the common operators, but also on the service/maintenance team and maybe even re-construction/re-use of the machine. In case of TwoBasMoveSolution it can be very helpful for the service team to move the cylinders separately, e.g. cylinder, valve or cables are defect and must be replaced and tested. HMI (/software) matching the real hardware is the advantage of the solution with only two BasMoves. ... View more

1) Like the previous responses told already: never decrease a version number, only increase. Decreasing only makes chaos in the applications 😀 Nobody cares if the version numbers in the version history have some gaps. 2) Remove this checkbox to not update the dependencies. Maybe this helps. To update existing/running machines, this checkbox must always be removed to have full control over the update process. Unfortunately the checkbox setting is not saved. 3) Create your Std with ObjectVersions.xml: Select import, then chose an ObjectVersions.xml file:   ... View more

Which TwinCAT version did you use in your case? I can acknowledge that the boot project is missing (or not the latest one) with TwinCAT 3.1.4022 when this dialog appears: "The application 'Port_851' is currently in RUN mode on the PLC. However, do you want to download the latest code changes?" With TwinCAT 4020.28 and 4024 I can't remember any case with missing or old boot project. Further feedback/experiences are welcome. ...
