Setting Description
Automatic calculation of addresses Every newly added module automatically gets an address which results from
the address of the module integrated before and the size of this module. If a
module is removed from the configuration, the addresses of the subsequent
modules are adapted automatically.
The ExtrasCalculate addresses menu command serves to recalculate the
addresses starting with the currently selected node (module).
Check for overlapping addresses During the compilation of the project, a check for address overlapping is
carried out and overlapping addresses are indicated.
Save configuration files in project The data of the configuration file(s) *.cfg and device files on which the
current control configuration is based are stored in the project.

Note!
We recommend to keep the standard setting. In case of a manual address
allocation, you must ensure that each object address is non-ambiguous in the
entire control configuration.
Detailed information on this can be found in the documentation for the »PLC
Designer«.
