Function Block Import/Export

FBs Import/Export

FBs export
Only the POUs in Function Block item can be exported.
A exported file can contain several POUs.
Password protected

FBs import
If the file has a password protected. You need to key in the correct password
while importing.
System doesnt allow two POUs with the same name.

FBs Import/Export

All of the FBs in the

project will be listed
over here .
Check it if you want to
export that FB
If password is set.
The system will ask users to
key in password when users
import this POUs file,

Step:
Move cursor to Global variables item and click mouse button (right button)
Select < Import Global Variable>

Global variables Import/Export

users want to clear
variables in this file will
all of the variable
be discarded
before importing

Used Device Report

Step:
Move cursor to Used Device report node and click mouse button (right

Upload/Download: Transfer data between PC and PLC. The data include
program device comment . Etc.
Online mode: Connect to PLC and enter monitoring mode. The editor will
become read only.
Online change mode: The editor will become writable in monitoring mode.
Send Change: Send changed code to PLC in monitoring mode.

Check and Compile

Check and Compile

Check : Check current POU. To check the grammar of codes.
Compile : Check all POUs. If there have function blocks, the compiler will
allocation memory for each function block instance. Then adjust tasks to
control the running sequence of POU (Program)

Only when pass the compiling, It can enter the online mode
