select Connect to PLC, you can use the previously saved
communication port or select a new communication port by clicking
the Setup button. If you select Connect to PLC, you can check other
options such as:
•
Transfer Logic to PLC. Transfers all blocks and data areas
to the PLC, and loads documentation.
NOTE
To avoid overwriting the online ladder with the version stored on
file and associating documentation with the online ladder; do not select
Transfer Logic to PLC.
•
Read All NOPs. Reads 30 consecutive NOP instructions
and assumes the end of program logic. This can
substantially increase the time to connect online to a 520,
525, 530, 535, 560, or 565 controller when selected.
NOTE
If you select Read All NOPS and have more than 30 NOP
instructions separating user logic, all logic past the 30 NOPS will not be
read.
