Chapter 1 Program and Test a Simple Project
Download a Project to the Controller
To execute a project in a controller, download the project to the controller to transfer a project from your
computer to the controller so you can run the project. When you download a project, you lose the project
and data that is currently in the controller, if any. If the revision of the controller does not match the revision
of the project, you are prompted to update the firmware of the controller. RSLogix 5000 software lets you
update the firmware of the controller as part of the download sequence.
1. Turn the keyswitch of the controller to .
2. Open the RSLogix 5000 project that you want to download.
3. Click .
ATTENTION
When you download a project or update firmware, all active servo axes are turned off. Before you
download a project or update firmware, make sure that this will not cause any unexpected movement of an
axis.
