If a device is opened twice, for example, by opening the higher-level network and by opening
it directly, this menu command is grayed out in the second window and can only be accessed
in the window that was opened first.
Note
Before uploading to PG/PC from remote I/Os, you need to add a corresponding number of
empty modules below the head module in the configuration.
Errors and messages
During the loading, all errors and messages are shown immediately. Any errors occurring in
a device do not cause the entire action to be aborted; they only apply to the device that is
currently being processed. Errors and other messages are saved and can be displayed at a
later time.
Suppressing message dialogs
You can suppress message dialogs during the loading. Select the "Execute 'Load' without info
dialogs" check box. You can find additional information using the Options > SIMATIC PDM >
Settings > The "Load" tab (Page 213) menu command.
