Loading the project to the target device
In order to set up your project, you need to load the project data you generated offline on the
connected drive units. Project data are generated, for example:
● When configuring the hardware
● When configuring networks and connections
● The project data is consistent.
● Each drive unit to be loaded can be accessed online.
When in the online mode, proceed as follows to download project data to the drive device:
1. Select one or more drive units in the project tree.
2. Open the shortcut menu "Load to device" or click on the icon
(Load to device) in the
toolbar.
– If you have already established an online connection, the "Load preview" dialog
opens. This dialog displays alarms and proposes actions necessary for loading.
– If you have not yet established any online connection, the "Extended loading" dialog
opens and you must first select the interfaces with which the online connection to the
device should be established. You have the option of showing all compatible devices
by selecting the corresponding option and clicking the "Start search" command.
