Hi guys, I am caught in a situation where I have no choice but to do a upload. This is what I get from the help file:
Restrictions when uploading:
1.Blocks do not contain any symbolic names for parameters, variables, and labels
I have the wiring diagram so I guess I can regenerate the symbol table. But what about the variables and variables tables?
2. Blocks do not contain any comments
That's ok.
3. The entire program is uploaded with all the system data, whereby the system can only continue to process the system data belonging to the "Configuring Hardware" application
Anyone wanna explain that?
4. The data for global data communication (GD) and configuring symbol-related messages cannot be processed further
Force jobs are not uploaded to the programming device with the other data. They must be saved separately as a variable table (VAT)
Anyone wanna explain that?
5. Comments in the module dialog boxes are not uploaded
Oh well...
6. The names of the modules are only displayed if this option has been selected during configuration (HW Config: the option "Save object names in the programmable logic controller" in the dialog box under Options > Customize)
Not that big a deal I reckon?
So if any of you guys did a upload w/o the source in s7 please share your experiences like was it a pain to get everything back,etc. Greatly appreciated.
