7.3.9 Loading a Resource Configuration from the PADT
Before a user program can be loaded with the connection parameters (IP address, subnet mask
and system ID) into the controller, the code must have been generated for the resource, and the
connection parameters for PADT and resource must be valid, see Chapter 7.3.7.
To load a resource configuration from the PADT
1. Select a resource in the structure tree.
2. Click the Online button located on the Action Bar or select Online on the context menu.
3. In the System Login dialog box, enter a user group with administrator rights or write access.
The Control Panel appears in the workspace and displays the controller state.
4. In the Online menu, select Resource Download.
The Resource Download dialog box appears.
5. Click OK to confirm the download.
SILworX loads the configuration into the controller.
6. Upon completion of the loading procedure, click the Resource Cold Start function on the
Online menu to start the user program.
After the cold start, System State and Program Status enter the RUN state.
The resource configuration is loaded from the PADT.
The Start, Stop and Load functions are also available as symbols on the Symbol Bar.
7.3.10 Loading a Resource Configuration from the Flash Memory of the
Communication System
If data errors were detected in the NVRAM thus causing the watchdog time to be exceeded, it
can be useful to load the resource configuration from the flash memory for the communication
system instead of from the PADT:
If the Control Panel (CP) is no longer accessible, the connection parameters for the project must
be reset in the controller, see Chapter 7.3.7.
If the controller adopts the STOP/VALID CONFIGURATION state after restarting, the user
program can again be started.
If the controller adopts the STOP/INVALID CONFIGURATION state after restarting, the user
program must be reloaded into the NVRAM.
Use the Load Configuration from Flash command to read a backup copy of the last
executable configuration from the flash memory for the communication system transfer it to the
processor's NVRAM. At this point, select Online -> Start (Cold Start) to restart the user
program with no need to perform a download of the project.
To load a resource configuration from the flash memory of the communication system
1. Log in to the required resource.
2. In the Online menu, select Maintenance/Service -> Load Configuration from Flash.
3. A dialog box appears. Confirm the action.
The controller loads the resource configuration from the flash memory for the communication
system into the NVRAM.
7.3.11 Cleaning up a Resource Configuration in the Flash Memory of the
Communication System
After temporary hardware faults, the flash memory for the communication system could contain
residual invalid configuration parts.
The Clean Up Configuration command is used to delete these residual parts,
