If this option is selected, the old contents are not deleted form the disk, but only moved to a backup directory.
If required (e.g. because a certain 3rd party component or a special, user-defined EtherCAT process data
mapping was included in the old repository), it is possible to recover the old contents by adding this backup
directory as an additional repository location.
(Menu: “Tools” “Device repository…” “Edit Locations” “Add”,
or: “Tools” “Library repository…” “Edit Locations” “Add”):
Note: The recommended procedure to ensure compatibility of projects also for newer IDE versions is always
to generate a project archive. This archive file automatically contains all components (especially devices and
libraries) used in the project and is therefore the best way to migrate a project to a new version of COMBIVIS
studio.
6 Known restrictions
6.1 HSP5
KEB High speed serial protocol for F5 (HSP5) is not supported by COMBIVIS 6! Users who need to connect
to a device via HSP5 are recommended to use the KEB USB Serial Converter (part no. 0058060-0040),
which converts HSP5 to the protocol DIN66019II (serial) which is supported by COMBIVIS 6.
The registration of COMBIVIS 6 is optional and free of charge. However, we recommend to register your
