Getting Started and Commonly Used Functions
5.4.3. Download the PLC Program
There are two ways to transfer the program code to your BoX2 device, the Download and the Online
Change function.
The Download function is a mode for downloading new projects and also current projects where the
PLC parameters have been changed; hardware configuration, task changes etc.
The Online Change function is a mode for downloading changes while the CPU is in RUN mode.
There is no restriction regarding how large the code change can be, as long as the only change is the
program code, the online change function is always available.
Download in STOP Mode
To download a new application or an application with hardware changes, task changes etc, the CPU
must be in STOP mode.
When logging into the CPU, BCS Tools will prompt that a download needs to be made.
When the Yes button is pressed, the CPU will enter STOP mode and the application is downloaded.
When the download is complete, BCS Tools will enter the online state with the CPU in STOP mode.
To set the CPU into RUN state, press the RUN button in BCS Tools.
Online Change
The online change function is a mode for downloading changes while the CPU is in RUN state. There
is no restriction regarding how large the code change can be, if the only change is the program code.
When a change is made in the program code, BCS Tools will prompt with the following message to let
the user decide whether to make an online change or a download with the PLC in STOP mode.
When a login attempt is made and the program code differs between BCS Tools and the PLC, online
change is available.
