You show up at the customer site and realize that the project you have is completely different than what is in the PLC or there is no project backup at all. You can create an empty TwinCAT project and update your project from Target. 

You might be getting the warning below when you try to login which indicates there is no matching compile information.

noMatchingCompile

 

 Click No and right click on the PLC project and select 'Update PLC from Target' 

updatePLCfromTarget

 

Click okay to project is different warning. 

updateproject

 

If some of the POUs have 'warning sign' next to them, try to 'Update PLC from Target' again.

Clean the solution and build the solution. 

clean solution
build

 

Unload the project. 

unloadProject

 

Then reload the project.

reloadProject

 

You should have successfully updated your project from target after this step.
