Process Configuration and Operation Software for Windows

For the purposes of this example, we assume that you are using
6200 software, installed in the IPDS directory, and that you are
naming your application USER. We also assume that USER does
not already exist; if you have a PLC application named user, you
should choose another name to use with this example.

Select the AF5 format button, and type the name of the user
application file:

C:\IPDS\ARCH\PLC5\USER

4. Click on

Since USER is a new application, there is no Export activity to
perform. The Library Manager will simply create a new PC5 file
called USER.PC5, and then import this file into AF5 format so
that it is compatible with 6200 software.

Note: Import and Export activities are carried out using the 6200
Import/Export DOS executables. You should be able to see the
Import process in a DOS window session.

All processing activities and any errors that occur are displayed in
the “Display” window.

The Import Utility screen appears.

Important: The merge process only works on offline files in

the X5, AF5, or PC5 format; it does not load
your application from or download your
application to the PLC processor. If your
up-to-date application resides in the PLC
processor, you must upload it before you initiate
the merge. If you fail to do so, the merge
process will integrate the application files to
whatever X5, AF5, or PC5 version it finds on
the disk.
