14.3.1 Utility Tasks
Tasks designated as utility tasks when added to the rack are usually
used for testing purposes and not for application control. Utility tasks
can only be loaded into AutoMax Processor modules. They cannot
be loaded onto UDC modules.
The object code file for such tasks can be loaded onto the rack just
like the object code for other tasks. Utility tasks must be loaded
individually.
To load a utility task, enter the name of the task at the filename
prompt. You will then be prompted for the slot number of the
Processor on which the task is to be loaded (0Ć4), and the task
priority (4Ć11). Note that this information was already entered when
the task was added. It is required here as well.
14.4 Saving Tasks from the Rack
You can save tasks from any AutoMax Processor or UDC module in
the network to the default path through the single connection at the
leftmost Processor. You must obtain task access for the tasks you
want to save from the rack.
Entering S" for Save at the Transfer menu brings up a list of tasks
that may be saved from the rack. This list contains all tasks in the
rack, whether they are running or stopped, including utility tasks.
Tasks can be saved either individually by entering the task name, or
all (all tasks listed on the screen) at one time by entering the name of
the rack configuration file and the /All option described in section
14.4.1.
You have three other options when saving tasks from the rack:
/Tunable, /Include, and /Log. These options, as well as /All, are
described below in more detail.
Note that you can only save tasks from the rack if you elected to
make them reconstructible when you compiled the task originally.
Ladder Logic tasks are always reconstructible. Note carefully that
your path must be the path in which the configuration and
application task files for the rack to which you are connected are
stored. Otherwise, it is possible to write over files in the current path.
If your path is incorrect, any task you save back from the Processor
cannot be used until you add it to the rack using the Task Manager.
14.4.1 Save Option: /All
You can save all the reconstructible tasks in the rack, including utility
tasks, using the /All option. Enter the name of the configuration task
(_CONF.CNF) at the filename prompt and then /All at the option
prompt.
