Obj Curr Ć Whether the object (compiled task) is current, i.e., whether

the source date/time listed in the next column is later than

the date/time the task was last compiled; a checkmark

means yes". If the object is not current or the task has

never been compiled, this column will display NO". The

object is not current if either of the following occur after the

date/time the task was last compiled: a change in the

status of the reconstructible" check box in the task

information dialog box, or the task is edited.
Note that PC/Ladder Logic tasks and include (.INC) tasks

do not need to be compiled and that this column will

always be checked for these two types of tasks.

Source Date Ć Date and time the application task was last edited.
Description Ć Description of the task entered when the task was

created.

The status line at the bottom of the Task Manager screen is used to

display the status of the rack configuration file and the drive

parameter file (if applicable).
The fields labeled Config:" and Drive Parms:" will display Current"

if the rack configuration and drive parameter files are current and the

application tasks for the rack can be loaded to the AutoMax

Processors and UDC modules in the rack. If either of these fields

displays Not Current", one of the following conditions has occurred:

no configuration has been generated for the rack, task information

(critical flag, priority, description, etc.) has been changed after the

date/time that the configuration was last generated, or the rack

configuration itself has been changed (variable added or delete, task

added or deleted, etc.) after the date/time that the configuration was

last generated. The rack configuration, drive parameters, and

application tasks should not be loaded into the AutoMax Processors

and UDC modules in the rack until the configuration and parameter

files are generated using the Generate Configuration command

described in 8.16.3 below.
