6.3.3 'File' 'Open'
Symbol:
With this command you open an already existing project. If a project has already been
opened and changed, then »PLC Designer« asks whether this project should be saved
or not.
The dialog box for opening a file appears, and a project file with the extension "*.pro"
or a library file with the extension "*.lib" must be chosen. This file must already exist.
It is not possible to create a project with the command "Open".
Dialog box for opening a file
Open a project from the PLC
To upload a project file from the PLC, press PLC at Open project from PLC. You will
obtain, as next, the dialog Communication parameters (see menu 'Online'
'Communication parameters') for setting the transmission parameters when no
connection exists yet to the PLC. Once an on-line connection has been created, the
system checks whether the same named project files already exist in the directory on
your computer hard disc. When this is the case you receive the dialogue Load the
project from the controller where you can decide whether the local files should be
replaced by those being used by the controller. (This sequence is the reverse of the
sequence of 'Online' 'Load source code', with which the project source file is stored in
the controller. Do not confuse with 'Create Boot project'!)
