Download to module
To load the configuration into the PLC select the following menu item Target system > Load
in module.
The dialog box for loading the configuration now displayed offers the following options:
●
Set the PLC to the operating status STOP. See note below.
●
Compress the memory if not enough contiguous free memory is available
●
Reset PLC to operating status RUN
Note
When the PLC program is loaded in the RUN operating status, each block loaded
becomes active immediately. This can result in inconsistencies when executing the active
PLC program. You are therefore advised to place the PLC in the STOP mode before
loading the configuration.
Initiate NC Reset
The STOP mode of the PLC which is taken by the PLC for a short time on loading is
interpreted by the NC as a PLC failure with an appropriate alarm response.
Once the configuration has been loaded you must therefore initiate an "NC Reset", for
example, via the "840Di-Startup" user interface. In "840Di-Startup" select menu command
Window > Diagnosis > NC/PLC:
Dialog
Dialog: NC/PLC Diagnosis
Group NC
Button: "NC Reset"
