Corrected from: PLC Designer V3.12
Response of the new version:
Irrespective of the use of the L_Util_Retain function block, the RETAIN data is reset to its initialisation values when downloading projects.
What happens?
After downloading a project, the RETAIN data is not reset to its initial values but maintains the values available before the project download.
When does this behaviour occur?
The above-described behaviour occurs when using the L_Util_Retain function block from the L_Util library in a project to safe the RETAIN data additionally on an SD card (e.g. for device replacement).
Which products are affected?
