Application Engineering Guidelines
Commissioning and Station Copier Usage
Before a controller can be used for the first time after initial installation or upgrade, it must be commissioned by loading
the following components from the PC (localhost) into the controller (remote host):
•
Niagara software
•
License
•
Application / station
When changes will be done later to the application on the PC, the station can be copied into the controller by using the
Station Copier function. In this case, a new commissioning is not necessary.
For detailed description, please refer to the CIPer Model 50 Controller User Guide: 31-00198-01.
Final Step after Application Engineering
IMPORTANT!
It is strongly recommended to swap out the application in any case after finishing the engineering in online or offline
mode.
Swapping out the application avoids additional communication between Spyder Model 5 Engineering Tool and controller
and reduces bus traffic.
For details about Swapping, please refer to the “
Memory and Folder Usage
It is recommended to monitor the memory usage on the Control Manager level and to avoid to exceed the limit of 80 %.
To keep the memory usage as low as possible, it is recommended to optimize application engineering by keeping the
number of folders as low as possible and the number of added function blocks per folder as high as possible in relation
to the required result of the logic.
The max. number of function blocks per folder is 150. If you want to use more than 150 function blocks, please split
them into two or more folders.
