About Accepting and Downloading Your Changes
When you set, force, unforce, or change a variable's initial value, the
change takes effect immediately in the online program. Other
changes such as adding, deleting, or modifying a rung must be
accepted before the change takes effect. You can accept one or all
rungs that have been added, deleted, or changed. Accept changes
that you want to download to the Processor. Once any changes are
accepted, you can temporarily load them into the Processor (place
the program in test mode) or permanently download them to the
Processor (commit the changes).
Before any changes are downloaded to the Processor, either
permanently or temporarily, the changes are verified using the same
rules used for verifying offline programs. If the program does not
pass the verification process, you must correct the errors and
accept them again. An edited online program is downloaded to a
Processor only when all the accepted changes to the program have
been successfully verified. The verified changes are downloaded to
the Processor as a group, not as individual rungs. See About How
Changes Made to Online Programs are Verified" in section 5.9 for
more information.
About Accessing the Online Task Manager
You can access the Online Task Manager from the Editor, Task
Manager, or the System Configurator. The Online Task Manager and
the Editor cannot share the same communication channel. If you
need to use the Online Task Manager while editing an online ladder
program, you must place the Editor in a paused state. By pausing
the Editor, you free up the communication channel so the Online
Task Manager can use it. See section 5.3 for more information.
