After configuring the communications port, the local logic program can be downloaded to the PLC

CPU.

To store the current folder to the PLC, choose PLC from the Menu Bar and C

onnect from the

submenu. Once connected, choose PLC from the Menu Bar and Store from the submenu. The

store operation begins the folder transfer process from the programmer to the PLC CPU. When the

user initiates the store operation, a dialog box is presented that allows the user to choose what they

wish to store to the PLC. In our case, we want to store our Local Logic program, our Hardware

configuration, and any PLC logic. To perform this operation, select, in the dialog box,

Store

hardware configuration and motion to the PLC

and

Store logic to PLC

(Figure 10-43).

NOTE: The Local Logic and Motion programs are transferred as part of the Hardware

configuration process. Thus, whenever you download an updated Local Logic program and/or

Motion program, select the Store hardware configuration to PLC item in the store dialog box.

(Figure 10-43).

VersaPro will then check any blocks that have changed. If the build procedure is successful, it will

download the files to the PLC. VersaPro will indicate that it has successfully downloaded the

program with a dialog box that says “Store to PLC Successful.”

The programs are now downloaded to the PLC. We can interact with the DSM to verify that the

Local Logic program is working correctly. The Reference View Table (RVT) is a display that can

be used for this operation. To create a RVT, access the

File

menu and select the

New R

eference

View Table

menu. (Figure 10-4). This will cause the New Reference View Table dialog box to be

displayed. (Figure 10-44). The dialog box allows the user to name the RVT. In our example, the

name chosen is RVTExample.
