NOTE
The only valid options for BoX2 motion are Power fail retain and EtherCAT with
distributed clock.
NOTE
The PLC functionality has support for storing non-volatile variables. Those
variables can be stored dynamically in two different modes:
• Power-fail mode (Default setting)
If the voltage drops below a hardware given threshold (that is, during a power
loss or power dip), the system instantly copies all persistent data defined in
the PLC application from RAM into the battery backed SRAM. They are verified
and restored when the device is restarted.
• Cyclic mode
The PLC is instructed to store all retain and persistent data directly into SRAM
synchronously with every PLC cycle. This means all device types can use the
whole available memory, which is 128 kB. However, writing to the SRAM might
increase the configured PLC cycle depending on the size of used retain and
persistent data, because a SRAM is naturally slower than a RAM. This possible
increase is dependent of the application and to find out about the possible
increase one would need to monitor the configured task(s) of the project. For
projects with large amounts of persistent data, cyclic mode is recommended.
Save the auto-install package to your connected USB or SD card.
3.
4.
Eject the USB or SD card.
5.
Connect the USB flash drive or SD card to the device and boot the device.
6.
Wait until red LED indication starts flashing fast and eject the USB flash drive or SD card.
NOTE
Make sure to eject the USB/SD card. Otherwise, the device will try to update
again during next boot up.
7.
The device automatically reboots.
8.
Wait until the LED shows a blue status light, or purple on/off every 0.5 seconds (if no iX or
CODESYS project is installed).
The update is now completed.
4.5. Update the CODESYS Runtime Version Over Ethernet
NOTE
Refer to document SUEN00392, available at Help Online, for more details and
recommendations on using the X2/BoX2 series range of products with embedded
CODESYS runtime.
