4) Notes on rewriting programs
When rewriting the program in the main unit from the loader while the PLC is running, the built-in RAM is changed,
however, the built-in ash memory is unchanged. As a result, the contents of the RAM does not match those of the ash
memory and the RUN/MEM LED blinks to prompt the user to transfer the contents of the RAM to the ash memory.
After rewriting the program, be sure to transfer the contents of the RAM to the ash memory. When the transfer is
completed normally, the RUN/MEM LED turns OFF.
<Method 1>
Perform transfer by using the loader.
<Method 2>
After rewriting the program, turn OFF the main unit and then ON again. When the power supply is turned ON, the contents
of the RAM is automatically transferred to the ash memory.
