11.6 Particularities of the user motor catalogue
The contents of the user motor catalogue can be defined individually. The user motor catalogue can
be compared with an empty folder in which self-defined motor types can be saved. These self-
defined motor types are suitable for cross-project purposes.
When a user motor is integrated in the »Engineer« project, a complete copy of the catalogue
element is created. Therefore, the project is not dependent on the user motor catalogue. If the
project is passed on to another user, this user can open it without the necessity of passing on the
user motor from the user motor catalogue as well.
Versioning
The user motor catalogue is not versioned.
The user motor catalogue is only available once on the computer. If several »Engineer« versions are
installed in parallel on the computer, the user motor catalogue can be used by all users.

Element version Function
Single-existing catalogues • In the case of single-existing catalogues, each catalogue version supplied
contains all element versions. Thus, the latest catalogue version can be
used.
• The catalogue version remains downwards compatible to existing
projects and devices.
• Catalogue packages which contain these type of catalogues are only
installed in one version.
• This procedure is used for device and device module catalogues.
Multiple-existing catalogues • In the case of multiple-existing catalogues each catalogue version
supplied only contains the latest element versions. In order to ensure
compatibility to existing projects, catalogue packages which contain
such catalogues, are installed in parallel in several versions.
Multiple-existing catalogues are used for application and function block
catalogues. Such catalogues affect existing »Engineer« projects if you
change them to a new catalogue version.
