CPU are updated immediately after successfully writing the configuration project to the PLC.

If an autorefresh entry for this slot is already present in the IPARAM file, it is overwritten with the

settings matching the module configuration. If no IPARAM file is found, it is created. If no entry for

this slot can be found, it is inserted at the appropriate position in the file.

Note:

If the IPARAM file is written into the CPU while GX Developer is running, GX Developer

cannot display the IPARAM file in the list of ”Read from PLC/Delete PLC data”.

Therefore, please update the file list by pressing the ”Refresh View” button of the ”Read

from PLC/Delete PLC data” function.

CPU Mode

Displays the current CPU mode. The desired CPU mode can be selected from the drop down list

and set via the <Set> button.

Data Transfer

Manually starts or stops the PROFIBUS DP data transfer for the displayed DP slave.

Save Configuration

Saves the current module settings in an XML-format file with the extension *.gxdp. In case of a

slave project the current module settings are saved in an XML-format file with the extension *.dpx.

This function is intended for documentation purposes only. The saved XML-format file does not

contain the full contents of a configuration project file but only the information that is actually on

the module. You can rename the file extension .gxdp (.dpx) to *.xml and view the file e.g. in a web

browser.

Note:

The saved XML-format file cannot be opened in GX Configurator-DP as a configuration

project.
