Accessibility
To download a project, select:
• From the Main Menu > Tools > Download
• Hot Key: Shift+F5
MotionWorks+™ must be online with a controller before downloading. If the controller
is running, a message box appears that requests permission to stop the controller prior to
downloading. The controller must be stopped for a download to occur. This halts
program execution and disables the servo.
The download tool will automatically transfer only System Property modules and
programs changed since the last download. Full Compile & Download will force MW+
to download all System Property modules and programs.
After downloading, a message box appears requesting permission to restart the
controller. The project is now residing in SRAM, the battery backed memory. This
memory is retained by a super capacitor during power OFF for several hours without a
battery. If no battery is present, the project must be saved in flash memory for
permanent storage. See “Saving a Project to Flash” on the next page.
