Improvements to Program Editing Efficiency

When editing a program offline,
editing could not be prohibited.
Allowing ladder screen display only, and prohibiting
program editing by mistake while offline is possible.
Set the Offline Edit Mode to Read Only Mode in the
Option Dialog Box to enable this function.
When editing a program, an
operation could be reversed
(Undo), but all the edited parts
could not be selected to be
either applied (store) or
cancelled.
After temporary editing of a specific rung, the user
can select to utilize (store) or delete (cancel) the
editing results.
Select Read Only Mode Edit – Start Edit from the
Edit Menu, and then perform either of the following
steps after editing.
a) To apply the editing results, select Read Only
Mode Edit – Store from the Edit Menu. The edited

Therefore, after editing rungs and writing and
recording temporary changes, the changes can be

program editing efficiency
Improvements to Program Development in Task Units
•
Downloading by Task (Program) (CS/CJ-series CPU Unit Ver. 2.0 or Later)
Previous version (Ver. 3.3) New version (Ver. 4.0)
When downloading a program
to the PLC, only the whole
user program could be

Programs can be downloaded to CS/CJ-series PLCs

instead of the whole user program is possible.
Select Partial Transfer – Task Transfer to PLC from the

This function enhances the efficiency of program
development by multiple personnel.
Particularly, by downloading to the PLC by task

the PLC, resulting in fewer working errors.
