„ Logging Online
Communications are required between the CP-717 and the Machine Controller, so log on to
online mode.
If you are logged on in offline mode, log off first, and then log on again using online mode.
„ Transferring Data
Normally, define the system and create programs in offline mode, and then log online and
transfer the definition data and programs that have been generated to the Machine Control-
ler.
Group definitions in particular cannot be edited online, so be sure to define groups offline.
Other definitions can be edited online.
Refer to 2.1.10 Transferring Files for the operations required.
1.4.5 Developing Programs
The procedure performed up to this point completes the settings required for programming.
This section explains the procedure for actual programming.
„ Creating Motion Control Ladder Programs
A motion program is controlled by the motion control ladder program. The motion control
ladder program is generated automatically if automatic generation is enabled in the group
definitions.
If using a unique control signal system, however, disable automatic generation and create a
new motion control ladder program. Be sure to read and understand ladder programs and
