4–4 Configuring the Modules
Publication 1771Ć6.4.5 - January 1997
Once you have made your desired selections on the Module
Configuration screen, you must download these parameter values.
To do so:
1. From the
Module menu, select Download.
Accessing the Download function
You may also access the Download function by pressing
CTRL + D.
The Download dialog box appears.
If you choose: Then:
Download to PLC the configuration values are downloaded to the PLC
data table block. From there, the ladder logic
blockĆtransfers them to the TCM module.
Save to the disk file the configuration values are downloaded to the disk
file, from where they can be uploaded as needed.
2. Select either or both and click on
OK.
The values are then downloaded, the dialog box closes, and the
right-hand section of the status bar at the bottom of the window is
updated to show the values were downloaded.
Some screens have both Loop and Module menus. On these
screens, when you select upload or download from the Loop
menu, the only data transferred is that for the loop on which the
screen was opened. When you select upload or download from
the Module menu, the data for all eight loops of the module are
transferred. This is useful, for example, to upload an entire
module from the PLC processor and then save it to the disk file,
without having to go to eight separate screens and perform eight
separate uploads and downloads. Because this command, if used
improperly, can alter data you did not intend to alter, you are
prompted for confirmation when you attempt to perform a
module download.
