Downloading Configurations
When you finish configuring a function or a series of functions, as
well as the nodes and channels, you can download the function
instances to the PLC processor.
1. Make sure that:
•
the active cell is in the column you wish to download
•
you have configured the PLC node name in the node
configuration worksheet
•
the channel and node configuration worksheets reference your
networked PLC node
•
the Integer Data Address references one of the data tables that
you created in the PLC processor
You can download several adjacent columns on a worksheet at
once by stretching the selection to highlight more than one
column at a time.
2. Click on .
A dialog box appears that lets you choose between downloading
the selected column(s) or the entire worksheet. If you choose the
entire sheet, then the PCO Function Configurator downloads all
columns of the sheet until it finds a column with an empty name
or until it encounters an error.
3. If you receive an error, select and correct the erroneous field(s).
All fields must contain valid entries, even if they are not
applicable to your application.
You can access errors reported by the download function by
clicking on the buttons. These buttons enable you to
scroll through and correct all of the errors in your configuration.
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 until there are no more errors.
Important: The Download functionality requires the
INTERCHANGE driver in order to operate properly.
INTERCHANGE software should be installed on your
disk, and the INTERCHANGE driver should be
activated prior to the execution of the Excel
Configurator. If INTERCHANGE is not properly
loaded and running, any attempt to download or upload
configurations will result in an error message.
1. Make sure that you have completed
all of the required steps up to this
point.
2. Click on the Download to PLC button.
3. Correct any errors, as necessary, and
repeat steps 1 and 2 again.
4. Repeat until the configuration
downloads without error.
