Creating jobs

When configuring jobs, you can use theUpload boot project option in Job configuration to backup boot projects and compare data taken from the runtime. This enables you to check whether the runtime that was executed on the IPC, was produced by the boot project in the memory (see step 7). If in the TwinCAT sub-projects (located in the TwinCAT XAE), the Project Sources check box is checked, the runtimes will be included in the backup. (The upload is carried out via the Activate configuration function).
