Creating and transferring boot project
The CPU processes the user program stored in the main memory.
As the working memory is not backed up, the program will be lost
in the event of a power failure. You can therefore create a boot
project to store the program retentively.
You can generate the boot project in online mode or via the menu
of the controller. The boot project is generated with the current
operating system of the controller!
In online mode the following steps are required:
X From the Online menu, select Login.
X If the controller is in the RUN state, you will be requested to
stop it.
X Select the Create boot project command.
The following prompt appears:
X Click Yes.
The following dialog appears briefly:
The boot project has been created when this dialog automatically
disappears again. You can now restart the PLC.
Storing a boot project on a memory card
The boot project stored in the system memory (Flash) can also be
stored on the memory card. This is done by calling the browser
command “copyprojtommc” in online mode or by choosing
PROGRAM 1 BOOT PROJECT 1 FLASH 1 CARD from the main menu
of the controller using the operating buttons.
Boot project and operating system (OS) on memory card
The boot project will only run with the actual operating system
(OS) on which it was created!
If you fit the memory card with an OS into the controller, the OS of
the controller will be updated after startup and a boot project will
be loaded into the controller. If the boot project was not created
with the OS, it will not be detected by the controller. In this case,
load the program and create a new boot project.
Erase boot project
The browser command “Remove” deletes both the boot project in
the system memory (Flash) and also on the memory card. The
browser command “removeprojfrommmc” deletes the boot
project and the Startup.INI file on the memory card. The boot
project on the memory card can also be deleted via the menu of
the controller: PROGRAM l DELETE l DELETE CARD.
