3-4 Understanding the ControlNet System Software
When downloading the project from RSLogix 5, a dialog box appears
and asks whether the ControlNet configuration information stored in
the RSLogix 5 project should be downloaded.
With this approach, you will want to keep the existing ControlNet
configuration that is currently on the ControlNet PLC-5 processor.
Download from RSLogix 5 Only
You can download the entire program from RSLogix 5 while keeping
the ControlNet configuration information up to date.
When downloading the ControlNet configuration information from
RSLogix 5, a dialog box appears and asks whether the ControlNet
configuration information stored in the RSLogix 5 project should be
downloaded.
With this approach, you will want to overwrite the existing
ControlNet configuration that is currently on the ControlNet PLC-5
processor with the ControlNet configuration information that is
stored in the RSLogix 5 project (.rsp) file.
The ControlNet configuration information in RSLogix 5 is kept up to
date by uploading from the ControlNet PLC-5 processor and by
saving a new RSLogix 5 project (.rsp) file following every save
performed in RSNetWorx, or following an RSNetWorx project
download if a save was performed off-line.
Important: This approach simplifies the download to a single
operation, however it requires the maintenance of keeping the
RSLogix 5 project (.rsp) file up to date with the current ControlNet
network configuration information for every PLC-5 processor on the
ControlNet network. To do this, you must perform the RSLogix 5
upload and save for each and every save performed in RSNetWorx,
even if no ControlNet configuration information changed for any
ControlNet PLC-5 processor. This is required because a network
keeper signature is reevaluated every save and is unique for every
save. The network keeper signature is downloaded to every
keeper-capable device on the ControlNet network.
Using RSNetWorx to Perform Verification Activities After
a Download or Save in RSNetWorx
We recommend that you perform two verification activities following
a download or save operation in RSNetWorx:
• Verify Keeper Signatures
• Verify Scanner Signatures
