Downloading the Application

A compiled PLC application must be downloaded to the target device in order to have the processor execute it. This paragraph shows you how to send a PLC code to a target device. Note that GF_ProjectVX code can download the code to the target device only if the latter is connected to the PC where GF_ProjectVX code is running. See the related section for details.To download the application, click On-line>Download code.GF_ProjectVX code checks whether the project has unsaved changes. If this is the case, it automati- cally starts the compilation of the application. The binary code is eventually sent to the target device, which then undergoes automatic reset at the end of transmission. Now the code you sent is actually executed by the processor on the target device.
