Creating jobs

In octoplant, it is possible to execute jobs according to a schedule. A job checks whether the program on the device is the same as the last version checked in or whether the latest version has been implemented on the device.

To do this, proceed as follows

1. Start the AdminClient and open the Jobs module.
2. In the Project tree, select the Schneider Modsoft component.
3. In the menu tab, click on Create or drag-and- drop the components into the Jobs section.
4. Check in the section Job configuration, if the upload type Schneider Modsoft is being displayed.
5. Make sure the desired settings are in place for the following sections: General, Notification, Upload and compare, Create a version automatically after job run. The Notification and Create a version automatically after job run sections are only displayed if the necessary settings have been implemented.
6. Configure the Schneider Modsoft Settings.
   1. Use the Project drop-down menu to select the Schneider Modsoft project. This option is only relevant if there is more than one project in the component.
   2. Use the Access path drop-down menu to select the path for communication with the device. The paths PC >[TCP/IP] >PLC and PC >[TCP/IP] >Network transition >[MODBUS+] >PLC are available for selection. The BridgedModbusPlus option is only available if you have selected the access path PC >[TCP/IP] >Network transition >[MODBUS+] >PLC.
   3. In Device, enter the IP address or name of the device.
   4. In Special options, you have option to configure a delay ranging from 0 ms to 5000ms by selecting the option Sleep between two subsequent frames (in ms). We recommend using higher values if errors or transmission errors arise.
