Connecting

To perform online actions such as a program download, program execution etc. for this application, connect the application with the target system.

  1. You can get to the “Connection” function in two ways:

    Device Structure/Network View: In the context menu of a device or via the menu ribbon (e.g., “DEVICE”, “NETWORK” tabs) click [Connect]. The device is switched to online mode. All applications of the device are active/connected online.

    Program Structure: In the context menu of one or several selected applications or in the menu ribbon (“PROGRAM”, “DEBUG” tabs) click [Connect]. The selected applications of one or several devices are active/connected online.
  2. If an application was not previously stored on the controller, a prompt will ask whether an application should be created or downloaded. Confirm this with [Yes].
