Upload blocks from a project to the CPU
To upload one or multiple blocks to the CPU, select the "Program blocks" folder in the
project tree. Select the "Download to device" > "Software (only changes)" command from the
shortcut menu. Alternatively, select the "Download to device" command in the "Online"

system constants, global tags) outside the project, these blocks cannot be compiled without
errors.
Reloading blocks while the plant is operating
Reloading blocks while the plant is operating can cause serious damage to property or
injury to persons if there are functional disturbances or program errors. Make sure that no
dangerous situations can arise before you start the actions.
