Transfer an IO Table to a PLC
The Transfer to PLC option loads the CX-Server IO Table into the Registered Table: this is only available to
C2000, CV and CS1-series PLCs. The table can be transferred to the PLC at any time (when the PLC is online) but
the operation can be delayed until other configuration settings have been made and then the complete
configuration can be transferred to the PLC via the PLC Setup component. Use the following procedure to transfer
an IO Table to the PLC.
1, 2, 3… 1. Ensure the PLC is online before activating the IO Table component.
2. Select Transfer to PLC from the Options menu to transfer an IO Table to the PLC.
Note: If the PLC Setup area is either written to the PLC or to the IO Table area the PLC may
need to be powered down and powered up in order for settings take effect. If the
settings need to be changed without switching off the PLC, write the PLC Setup data
first, then either generate or write the IO Table. Refer to
Chapter 4 - PLC Setup
Component.
Comparing an IO Table
The Registered IO Table can be compared with the CX-Server IO Table and displays any differences. This option
is helpful to confirm that a table that has been set up in CX-Server and has been transferred to the PLC, agrees with
how the hardware is set up. Use the following procedure to compare a Registered IO Table with the CX-Server IO
Table.
1, 2, 3… 1. Ensure the PLC is online before activating the IO Table component.
2. Select Compare with PLC from the Options menu.
Any differences (if any) are displayed in the IO Table component.
Starting Specialized Support Tools
Starting Specialized Programming Support Tools (Supported When Support Tools Were Installed from CX-One)
When the CX-Programmer and other Programming Support Tools have been installed from the CX-One, the
Programming Support Tool specific to a particular Unit (Special I/O Unit or CPU Bus Unit) can be started directly
from the CS/CJ/CP I/O Table Window by right-clicking the desired Unit in the I/O table and selecting
Start
Special Application from the pop-up menu.
♦
If the Unit is right-clicked in the I/O table and Start Special Application - Start with Settings Inherited is
selected, the PLC model information, Unit model, and online/offline status information will be passed to the
Programming Support Tool automatically when it starts.
♦ If the Unit is right-clicked in the I/O table and Start Special Application - Start Only is selected, the
Programming Support Tool will be started in the same way as it is from the Windows Start Menu.
The following diagram shows how each Programming Tool can be started and how the I/O Table Window can be
opened from the Programming Tool.
