Transfer a Block into the PLC

Top  Previous  Next

 

To transfer an (open) block you select the menu item: PLC|Transfer or click the symbol: .

Other blocks that are needed by the just transfered block are transfered automatically. So you just have to transfer the OB 1 and then each block that you have changed.

 

Needed data blocks are also transfered to the PLC automatically. This is also valid for the data blocks that are called by the indirect addressing. Data blocks will also be transfered into the PLC if you open them. Opening a DB it can happen that the data of a block in the PLC do not correspond with the data that are saved on the hard disc. In this case you are asked to decide while opening whether the data shall be transfered from the file to the PLC or from the PLC to the file.

 

A block will also be transfered into the PLC automatically if you switch on the monitoring mode.

 

TrySim is (with restrictions) a real offline-software. If you want to transfer blocks into a real PLC you will have to export the program.

 

In real PLC systems you have to distinguish exactly between the blocks in the PLC (online) and the ones in the developing system (offline) because of savety reasons. But in TrySim this differentiation is not important but quite annoying and after a while you will see the transfering as ‘Confirming’.
