Configuring SDS Instructions

5. Type:
copy disk drive:\IPDS\ARCH\PLC5\name of file.SLS hard drive:\IPDS\ARCH\PLC5\name of file.SLS
and press [ENTER].
For example,
copy A:\IPDS\ARCH\PLC5\DRILL.SLS C:\IPDS\ARCH\PLC5\DRILL.SLS
and press [ENTER].
The system now copies the SDS configuration file to your disk.
Copying an Existing SDS Configuration from a File
Important: To copy an existing SDS configuration from a file into
another instruction, the number and order of inputs in the saved
configuration must match exactly the number and order of inputs in the
new SDS into which it is being copied.
If they do not match, an error is reported when you accept the edits. You
see a message telling you to clear the step (you cannot edit invalid steps).
The PLC-5/250 allows 32 bits for the timer preset value; the PLC-5 allows
only 16. If you are copying a PLC-5/250 configuration into a PLC-5
configuration, timer preset accuracy is limited to 16 bits. The other 16 bits
are not lost by the PLC-5, they are just not used.
