Upload/Download
The download process creates (or builds) and validates all runtime files necessary
for a target to perform its role in a completed project. The compiled project is then
transferred to the target hardware via the communication connection previously
configured. For more information, see page 28.
The upload process acquires a project from an active PLC target and transfers it to
Logic Developer - PLC for editing.
To download to a target PLC
1. In the Project tab of the Navigator, right-click the target to which you want to download files and
choose Download to PLC.
The Download to PLC dialog box appears.
Note: If the PLC is running, you can download only logic that is not equal to the
PLC’s current logic and the Download to PLC dialog box does not appear.
2. Choose the items you want to download and click OK.
Tip: To download files for all targets in a project, right-click the project node and
choose Download All. If you want to download files to the active target, choose
Download Active Target.
Note: Only one project can be downloaded to a target at a time. If you download
to a target machine that already has a project on it, the existing project is
overwritten.
For each target that you download to, Machine Edition saves the project, performs
a validation, builds the runtime files and attempts to establish a connection to the
target. Any errors that occur are displayed in the Build tab of the Feedback
