| - | A "prototype" is a definition of a device (PLC, extension, sensor,...). It contains information about device's available inputs and outputs, which you can use in your project. The prototypes are (not often) changing in time, mainly with new HW revisions, or with introduction of a new functionality. | + | A "prototype" is a definition of a device (unit, extension, sensor,...).

| The prototype definitions are shipped with MervisIDE. When you create a new project, you will be offered the most recent version of prototype.
