→Fingerprint

A fingerprint is the mapping of a bigger data block to a much shorter character string and serves to identify this data block.
For instance, logi.CAD 3 compares the fingerprint for the application gramming created in logi.CAD 3 with the fingerprint for the application loaded on the →PLC. This enables you to detect whether the applications are identical or different (see under "Viewing state information on PLC").
