plcname
Typical Example
ClosePLC("controlPLC")
The PLC called controlPLC is closed. No further communications with the PLC will take place until
it is reopened.
DownloadPLCProgram
Syntax
returnstate = DownloadPLCProgram(plcname, filename, processed)
Remarks
Argument
returnstate
plcname
filename
processed
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.
Note: 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').
