With switchover from comparison topology to user-specified topology, the additional properties
DO activation, component activation and component number must also be specified.
With switchover to comparison topology, the data remains stored for switch-back to user-
specified topology. This data has no effect in the comparison topology.
For the deployment as user-specified topology, other necessary data is added internally and
output as binary user-specified topology file.
To deploy a user-specified topology, it is necessary to specify a CNC software version.

Generation of the comparison topology using external software

The structure and the contents of the comparison topology for a package is an open and
documented interface, the Topo XML interface. The file format is XML.
You will find more information on this in Section Interface - Topo-XML (Page 510).
Through the Topo XML interface, it is also possible to generate the comparison topology using
external software, which is integrated in the PLM process of the machine manufacturer, e.g.
EPLAN, ELCAD or similar. When required, the externally generated comparison topologies
can also be read-in in Topo as part of the production preparation for control purposes or
adaptations, before they are integrated in the project when configuring with Expert or placed
next to the package as configuration file.
A comparison configuration file, which is located in or next to the package, can also be selected
manually on the dialog of the "SINAMICS topology" during the runtime. Normally, a special
