Editing In Run Mode - Siemens SIMATIC S7-200 System Manual

Editing in RUN Mode

CPU 224 Rel. 1.10 (and higher) and CPU 226 Rel. 1.00 (and higher) models
support RUN mode edits. The RUN mode edit capability is intended to allow you to
make small changes to a user program with minimal disturbance to the process
being controlled by the program. However, implementing this capability also allows
massive program changes that may be disruptive or even dangerous.
Warning
!
When you download changes to a CPU in RUN mode, the changes immediately
affect process operation. Changing the program in RUN mode can result in
unexpected system operation, which can cause serious injury or death to
personnel, and/or damage to equipment.
Only authorized personnel who understand the effects of RUN mode edits on
system operation should perform a RUN mode edit.
To perform a program edit in RUN mode, the following conditions must be true:
The online CPU must support RUN mode edits.
The online CPU must be in RUN mode.
To perform a RUN mode edit, follow these steps:
1. Select Debug > Program Edit in RUN. (Figure 4-22 shows the Debug menu
on the right side of the screen.)
2. If the project is different than the program in the CPU, you are prompted to
save it. The RUN mode edit can be performed only on the program in the
CPU.
