BrianC Posted June 9, 2021 Report Share Posted June 9, 2021 I am using a V570 PLC. I have 2 data tables that contain data. One of the tables is 12 columns by 21 rows and the data never changes. The second table is 1 row and 8 columns, and the data does change periodically. I have the table data all written out in visilogic, but after doing a full download to the plc and then going online, the data tables are completely different data from what I just sent to the PLC. There are no write functions to table 1 at all, so I know the data is not being overwritten. Any help is appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexUT Posted June 10, 2021 Report Share Posted June 10, 2021 Data tables are not downloaded at any download. Only data table structure is downloaded. You have to download project, then open Data Tables interface and write all tables to PLC memory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not realize the values I put into visilogic would not move over to the PLC on a normal download. I am updating PLC's in the field with the program on an SD card. Is there any way to force these values to the PLC (Other than assigning all 250 ish values to MI's and then writing them to the table) via an SD card? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexUT Posted June 10, 2021 Report Share Posted June 10, 2021 In "UniDownload Designer" check "Download Data Tables...". If you make Clone to SD - than use Full Clone (you have to write Data Tables to PLC to have information for Clone). Practice at you desk before you do it remotely at field. B.R.

MVP 2023 Ausman Posted June 10, 2021 MVP 2023 Report Share Posted June 10, 2021 Alex, what about Part of Project? I don't use this function, but I thought it made some Data Table values part of the project. cheers, Aus and a PS....I wrote this and submitted it ok 11 hours ago, but it disappeared off into far faraway land.

AlexUT Posted June 13, 2021 Report Share Posted June 13, 2021 Hi Ausman, If selecting "Part of Project", than it stored into flash memory during download to PLC, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
