Editing Part Programs Off Line

Use the configured screen or text editor to edit part programs. The
editor must be compatible with the ODS operating system. The
editor must be configured using the Text Editor Setup option of the
F5-Configuration menu at the main menu line. For details on how to
use a specific screen or text editor, such as ending an edit session,
displaying a program, etc., see the documentation provided with the
screen or text editor.
Details on programming blocks of the 9/Series control are found in
the programming manual.
Important: The end of block statements, “;” used to separate blocks
on the control, should not be entered with the screen or text editor.
The control automatically inserts the end of block statements “;” at
the end of each line when the program is downloaded to the control.
The following sections require that the workstation be connected to the
control or storage device. Connect the workstation to the control or
storage device with the RS-232 serial interface cable. See your integration
manual for specific cable information.
Use the interface cable to connect the RS-232 interface port on the rear of
the workstation to port B on the control or to the RS-232 port on the
storage device. For information about connecting the workstation to a
storage device, see your integration manual.
When downloading to a control with a standard MTB panel, which has a
serial communication port located on the front left side of the panel,
connect the serial interface cable to the serial communication port. This
port is connected to port B on the control.
You must configure port B for serial communication. The serial
communication parameters of this port must correspond to the serial
communication parameters of the workstation or storage device.
To display the serial communication parameters of port B, press the
{SYSTEM SUPORT} softkey on the operator panel, then the {DEVICE
SETUP} softkey.
If the port A parameters are displayed, use the left or right arrows on the
operator panel to change the display from port A to port B parameters.
Make sure the DEVICE configured on this screen for port B is ODS. If it
is not configured for ODS, see chapter 9 for details on configuring
communication parameters. Once the DEVICE type of ODS is configured,
the default parameters should work for most PC applications.
