Hi friends, I need help regarding uploading the program from PLC if PLC is in RUN mode. Is it possible to upload the program from SLC 5/03 when it is in RUN mode.
Make sure that you know how to DOWNLOAD the program FROM the PLC and UPLOAD the program TO your computer. Doing the opposite (downloading from your computer and uploading to the PLC) could cause a huge loss of time and money for many operating plants.
Yes, it can be easy to get confused and do that even with the same language. It has happened to so many of us, that I thought a word of warning might save Shahid some grief....guess what! i downloaded an empty project to the machine!!!!
That is the best thing to do, and could save Shahid much embarrassment and many hours of re-programming under pressure!I would look to see if you have a spare 5/03 5/04 5/05 Micrologix to practice with first.

For every data transfer between two computers or servers, there a download and an upload, even if the software does not specifically mention both.
