Configuring SDS Instructions

Chapter 4

4-32

If your configuration contains errors, the system displays an error list
that describes each error in the configuration. To correct errors:

a.

Press

[ESC]

.

The system displays the Step Directory, which now contains

[F9] - Display Err Lst

.

To view the list at any time, press

[F9]

.

b.

Reconfigure steps from the Edit Step screen as needed to correct the
errors, and repeat Steps 1, 2, and 3. Refer to the chapter entitled,
“Debugging Your DDMC32 System” for correcting step
configuration errors.

Important: If this is a new SDS instruction, or if you updated an existing
instruction (changed an address, comment, or step name), press

[F2] – Update Msg DB

(update message database).

The system flashes a

Working...

prompt, indicating that a 6200

database export file is being created. (Later, you will need to import this
file.) The processor name is used as the name of the export file with an
extension of

.SDS

.

For example, if your processor name is DRILL, the

system creates an export file DRILL.SDS. Export files are stored in the
directory:

C:\IPDS\ARCH\PLC5

or

C:\IPDS\ARCH\PLC5250

Press

[F3] - Exit

to exit the SDS instruction configuration utility.

you to save your work.

The system displays the Ladder Editor main menu. If you have other SDS
instructions to configure or edit, you can do so as described in the “Enter
or Modify SDS Instructions” section in this chapter. If not, you may exit
the program as described in the next chapter.
