4-2 Transferring Programs from Computer to PLC
This section describes how to transfer SFC programs from CX-Programmer to a PLC.
After creating a program, it can be transferred to a PLC system by establishing an
online connection between CX-Programmer and the PLC system.
1 Select Transfer - To PLC from the PLC menu. The Transfer Option [To PLC]
dialog is displayed. (*1)
2 Select the items you wish to transfer.
3 Click
OK . The transfer is started.
*1: Select Partial Transfer - Task Transfer to PLC from the PLC menu to transfer programs
on a task unit basis.
Tasks allocated SFC programs and ST programs, however, cannot be partially
transferred.
Note: If an SFC program or an ST program is allocated to a task for transfer to PLC using SFC
Programming Function, the program cannot be read by CX-Programmer Ver. 7.0 or
earlier.
For details on program transfer, refer to the CX-Programmer Operation Manual (Cat.
No. W446).
WARNING
Confirm the safety of the destination node before transferring a program
or changing contents of the I/O memory area.
An injury may otherwise result.
Caution
· Before switching the operating mode of the PLC, verify that there will be
no resulting adverse effects on the equipment involved.
· The operation of a user program must be thoroughly tested before use
in an actual operation. Be sure to run a program check before
transferring the program.
· Programs may be erased if program transfer is performed in the wrong
direction. Before proceeding with the transfer, be sure to check
direction.
