Note
In order to download the parameter sets to the CS1/CJ1W-PRM21 PROFI-
BUS Master Unit, the following sequence must be performed.
1. Select the CS1/CJ1W-PRM21 Master DTM in the Network view and right-
click the mouse to display the context menu.
2. Select Download Parameters from the menu, to initiate a download. A
communication channel through CX-Server will be opened automatically.
3. When communication is achieved with the PLC, a warning window will be
displayed, notifying the user that the PLC will be switched to PROGRAM
mode. If the user confirms this, the download will continue.
4. The downloading process is handled by the CS1/CJ1W-PRM21 Master
DTM. The CS1/CJ1W-PRM21 Master DTM will switch the Master Unit to
OFFLINE, commence the download, and after successful download, issue
a command to the Master Unit to store the parameter sets in the Unit. A
window is displayed to show the progress of the download.
5. After storage has been completed, the CS1/CJ1W-PRM21 Master DTM
will issue a command to restart the CS1/CJ1W-PRM21 PROFIBUS Master
Unit. The new parameter sets will then become effective.
6. After restarting the Unit, a warning window will be displayed, allowing the
user to switch the PLC CPU back to its original mode.
1. When switching the PLC CPU back to its original mode, after download,
the PROFIBUS Master Unit will behave according to the setting made in
the Master Setup Tab (see section 6-4-1 Setting the Master Parameters) If
the Action to PLC mode change has been set to go to OPERATE mode,
when the PLC switches to RUN/MONITOR mode, the last action of the
download process may start up the network. Therefore, if this is not de-
sired, care must be taken to select the right setting.
2. In case of a failure in the download process, refer to section 7-4-1 Trouble-
shooting Parameter Download, to establish the cause and the remedy.
3. After successfully downloading the configuration to the CS1/CJ1W-
PRM21 PROFIBUS Master Unit, the user can make a backup of the con-
figuration on a memory card, which can be inserted in the PLC CPU. This
backup can facilitate configuration of a replacement Unit, without the need
of a PC. Refer to Appendix E Memory Card Backup Functions for the back-
up/restore procedure.
