Typical Example
DownloadPLCProgram("controlPLC", "Prog01.bin", done)
The program stored in the file 'Prog01.bin' in the current directory is
downloaded to the PLC 'controlPLC'. Before continuing, the script waits up to
five seconds for the action to succeed.
The operation may not be complete immediately after the statement has been
executed. The processed flag 'done' is set at a later time when the operation
has been completed. Therefore, if using statements that require the upload to
be completed create an On Condition script containing the code to be
executed after the upload, with the processed flag as the expression (e.g.
'done').
This command can only be used when the PLC is in 'STOP' mode. Refer to
chapter 6, GetPLCMode or chapter 6, SetPLCMode for further information.
