Overview
versiondog
versiondog is the enterprise solution developed by market
leader AUVESY for an integrated software and data manage-
ment system in the automated production industry. versiondog
creates versions and automatic backups to save and manage
your planning data. Thanks to its vendor neutrality, the system
provides the most comprehensive depth of integration and the
largest range of supported devices and editors.
With the SINUMERIK 840D sl integration, versiondog is offering
a Siemens-certified method for the automated generation of
ARC archives. This system makes it especially easy to trace
changes and to produce a reliable backup when needed for
disaster recovery.

Function
•
Version checks and versioning of revised software releases
are made easy by backing up software versions. versiondog
offers support by providing a menu-assisted documentation
process. This solution saves an immense amount of time and
makes the daily working routine so much easier.
•
versiondog provides configurable archiving functions for PLC,
CNC and compensation data, compile cycles, HMI data, drive
data and data from CompactFlash cards. The system also
provides a tool for converting a PLC series commissioning file
into a SIMATIC S7 project.
•
versiondog supports simultaneous archiving of multiple
control systems and allows control data from these systems to
be archived while they are in operation. Monitoring of consis-
tency conditions during archiving is available as an option.
versiondog also offers a data backup strategy for 24-7
production processes.
•
Any versions selected by the user can be compared with one
another at the push of a button (SmartCompare) so that errors
can be located or analyzed quickly. Furthermore, a detailed
comparison of the SIMATIC S7 project with differences repre-
sented in graphic, tabulated or text form is available in
versiondog. Changes to a new production data record are
also presented clearly. It is then, for example, easy to trace
directly all the modifications made by a colleague.
•
Automatic backup jobs show each change made to the last
valid version and make it easy to distinguish between
desirable and undesirable modifications at a glance. This
solution is extremely reliable by comparison with other
systems which involve internal or even external modification of
production-relevant data records.
•
A history that includes all changes to a production plant can
be called at any time so that the parameter records pertaining
to a particular production cycle are easy to track. Detailed
documentation of this change history can be generated at any
time at the push of a button.
•
The availability of all versions means that any project status
can be restored quickly and conveniently after a system failure
(disaster recovery).
