Downloading the Modified Sequencer
Once you have compiled the sequencer, you must download it to the CPU. You
can download the sequencer in the SIMATIC Manager or in the S7-Graph editor. In
the S7-Graph editor, follow the steps outlined below:
1. With the FB open, select the menu command PLC > Download or click the
Download
button. This opens the "Download" dialog.
2. Accept the defaults by clicking “OK".
3. Confirm the prompt to overwrite the existing blocks.
Include Instance DB
If you have not cleared the system default "Include Instance DB", S7-Graph checks
whether the instance DB has changed since it was last downloaded and whether it
must be updated. The option "Download with Instance DB" is clicked in the
"Download" dialog box.
Otherwise, S7-Graph does not check the instance DB and leaves you to decide
whether or not to download the instance DB again. The option "Download with
Instance DB" is not clicked in the "Download" dialog box.
Restarting the Status
To be able to monitor or control the sequencer again, restart Status by selecting
the menu command Debug > Monitor or by selecting the Monitor
button.
