Online Change for a project which is running on several PLCs:
If you want to run a project proj.pro on two identical controllers PLC1 and PLC2 (same
target system) and want to make sure that an update of the project on both
controllers can be done via online change, do the following:
• Loading and starting project on PLC1, save download information for PLC1:
Connect the PLC Designer project proj.pro to controller PLC1
(Online/Communication parameters) and load proj.pro on PLC1 (Online/Login,
Download). At the download the file proj00000001.ri will be created in the projects
directory, containing download information.
Rename proj00000001.ri, e.g. to proj00000001_PLC1.ri. This save of the file with
another file name is necessary because at a further download of proj.pro the file
proj00000001.ri on another PLC would be overwritten with new download
information and thus the information belonging to the download on PLC1 would
be lost.
Start the project on PLC1 and then log out ('Online' 'Start', 'Online' 'Logout').
• Loading and starting project on PLC2, save download information for PLC2:
Now connect to controller PLC2 (using same target as PLC1) and download proj.pro
on PLC2. Thus again a file proj00000001.ri will be created in the projects directory,
now containing the information on the currently done download.
Rename the new proj00000001.ri e.g. to proj00000001_PLC2.ri in order to store it
explicitly.
Start the project on PLC2 and log out ('Online' 'Start', 'Online' 'Logout'.
• Change project in »PLC Designer«:
In »PLC Designer« now do the modifications in proj.pro which you afterwards want
to transfer via Online Change to the program running on the both PLCs.
