Using ifm maintenance tool
8492
The ifm Maintenance Tool serves for easy transfer of the program code from the programming station
to the controller. As a matter of principle each application software can be copied to the controllers
using the ifm Maintenance Tool. Advantage: A programming system with CODESYS licence is not
required.
Here you will find the current ifm Maintenance Tool:

Distribution of the application program
8493
We recommend the following sequence, if the application software is to be copied to the series
machine and used:
• Saving the software
After completion of program development the latest version of the application program loaded in
the controller using the ifm Maintenance Tool has to be read from the controller and saved on a
data carrier using the name project_file.RESX. Only this process ensures that the application
software and its checksums are stored.
• Download of the software.
To equip all machines of a series production with an identical software only this file may be loaded
in the controllers using the ifm Maintenance Tool.
• An error in the data of this file is automatically recognised by the integrated checksum when
loaded again using the ifm Maintenance Tool.
