Download option on V230 PLC

[IgorG62il]

Hello.

I have V230 plc and use Visilogic soft.In a existing project I made a small modification and when I want to download to PLC have option:simple "download" 

or "stop-download-run" or "stop-download-reset".Which of this option I need ,If later possible upload project?

Thanks.

I rarely work with the V230, but my recollection is that upload project is enabled by default on these PLCs. You can choose any of the 3 download selections, as appropriate.

Hi Igor;

( expansion of Flex's Post)

V230 is an older  Unitroncis PLC  product.

Simple Answer :      Stop - Download - Run  -  best option,  take machine off line first, then   do the stop-download-run   then put machine online to test and run.

                                         Stop-Download-reset   -  Stops the PLC program, Takes the download, and restarts the PLC as if is is being powered up.

                                         Download       --    downloads in the background  and if necessary will stop and then run.

                                        Depending on the modifications,  VisiLogic may decide to do the reset.

 

Upload   -- V230 being an older product,   Program Upload is only restricted by a Program Password.     

                               No Password - Program is uploadable

                              Password protected - upload will ask for the password.   Do not know the password ?   - not uploadable

 

Some consideratons :

       How old is the PLC?   What is the condition of the internal Battery?   ( info Mode   SB8  ( System Bit 8 )    Battery  1= LOW  - needs changing.

       Since Battery is inside the PLC,  Best to Back Up Memory  before doing  -

                                    - Changing Battery with Power OFF will clear memory and changed  from default settings  - like timers and MI's  (counters)

                                      - VisiLogic   - Connection -   Export Operands to Text File    ( or Binary File),   Import back after battery is changed.

   VisiLogic - What version are you using ?   an older version from when the PLC was installed ?   You will probably be OK.

              A Newer Version  used to edit the program will force you to upgrade the OS in the PLC to be compatible with the newer version of VisiLogic.

Thanks for answer.

So if I need simple download any change to PLC I use "download"option?This is enough?

I use version of VisiLogic 9.8.65.

Yes.  It may ask you to update the OS.  The software will walk you through it if needed.
