Connection to Plant Simulation > UpdateNetwork mode

For existing Plant Simulation Models with structure, possibly connectors and parameter and the workflow to parameterize the model network in a frontend, the main logic for transferring frontend data to the back is “UpdateNetwork” (“v_sDestinationNetworkMode” in ModelStartCtrl).

This mode is implemented to have a backend model in Plant Simulation to which a Frontend model is created.

The frontend model can be a sub-set of all the objects within the Plant Simulation root frame (according to the toolbox definition).

After receiving the data from the frontend, only the received data will be updated. So, in case of a missing frontend object in relation to the backend network, the corresponding parameter of the Plant Simulation Model will not be updated since no SimJSON input is available.

All other data will be updated corresponding to the encoded data from the Frontend project.

In case a node/object is transferred with a name not available, an error is given, also in case of inconsistent attribute definition.
