Online Editing
When a few lines of the program in the CPU Unit have to be modified, they
can be edited online with the PLC in MONITOR mode or PROGRAM mode
from a Programming Console. When more extensive modifications are
needed, upload the program from the CPU Unit to the CX-Programmer, make
the necessary changes, and transfer the edited program back to the CPU
Unit.
When a Programming Console is being used, display the desired program
address, input the new instruction, and press the WRITE Key twice. A single
program address (instruction) can be edited.
When CX-Programmer is being used, several instruction blocks can be
edited.
