Figure 15.7 On-Line Function Block Variables

The change to the constant is made temporarily in the run-
time program, not in the LogicPro program. The new constant
value is valid while the program is running in the controller.
If for any reason the controller’s program is terminated and re-
started, LogicPro restores the original constant values. The
user will need to repeat the On-Line constant change proce-
dure.

To keep the new constant value, it is strongly recommended
that you update the constant value in the LogicPro program
and download it again. This will make the new constant value
permanent.

To update the constant value in the LogicPro program, follow
these steps:

1.

Open the program.

2.

Make the change.

3.

Save the program to disk.

4.

Compile.

5.

Download again.
