in permanent memory.
You can download your project from the programming device to your CPU from any of the
following locations:
●
"Project tree": Right-click the program element, and then click the context-sensitive
"Download" selection.
●

You can also copy the program blocks from an online CPU or a memory card attached to
your programming device.

Add a CPU device that matches the online CPU.
2.
Expand the CPU node once so that the "Program
blocks" folder is visible.
