Compress and D/L project
When enabled the complete project is compressed and downloaded to the controller whenever the download
command is executed. This powerful feature backs up all aspects of the project including any non-Premier ports
and custom graphics. It is very similar to the routine of the “Backup/Restore” utility described in section 8 except
the compressed file is stored in non-volatile memory in the controller instead of on the OIS hard disk or network.
This option allows any S 3 station to later “upload” the complete project for editing or display without needing an
original copy. If this option is not selected it will be impossible for an S 3 station without the original project file to
view, edit or troubleshoot the program in the controller. An attached S 3 station will be able to determine the LON
makeup and provide LON and device diagnostics, but access to the controller program will not be available.
Note
this option adds time to the build and download and is not required for proper operation of the program.
In practice this option is usually disabled until the user program and entire project are complete, tested and
ready for service.
Un-terminated line warnings
With this checked a warning will be generated when a missing pin is present on a function block. The warning
is placed in the “Error/Warnings Viewer”. If unchecked, the warning will not be visible in the “Error/Warnings
Viewer”.
Controller Menu
This menu provides access to a variety of memory management functions for internal program variables and for the
configuration of the Allen Bradley and Modbus tables used by outside systems to access the controllers data.
Global Memory
Global memory is typically used to exchange data with external
devices such as Modbus or Allen-Bradley PLC’s. This menu item
opens the “Global Memory Editor...” which allows for the creation
of and displays information on the five types of global memory. It
also allows for the adjustment of memory allocations.
The dialog box is “tabbed” allowing for the selection of the
memory type to be displayed/edited. In the example to the right,
“Boolean” is selected and there are three points created.
To create a global memory point, put the editing cursor
in the “Tagname” field and enter a tagname, then if
desired enter a long name in the “Description” field.
