Chapter 3 PLC System Configuration & Settings Not all the model types support module parameters scanning. Click “Scan” and a confirmation inquiry window about whether to perform parameter scanning will be shown. (Nothing shows up means this feature is not supported.) If choosing YES, the right-side modules of the CPU will be scanned (parameters of the CPU PLC excluded) and the current configurations will be overwritten. Besides that other information such as the model number, configurations of the I/O port, the firmware version, and extension card will also be scanned.
After the scan is complete, the actual module configurations will be shown in the configuration area and the Input/Output Device Range will be rearranged. If No is clicked, the parameters of the module PLC (parameters of the CPU PLC excluded) will be set according to the default settings. *Parameters of the CPU PLC include parameters of the function card. Not scan module parameter Cancel scan Scan module parameter After scan complete, a success message will pop up. Click on “OK”, then the modules of the project will be updated. Clicking “Cancel” would not do any change on the modules.
*If the CPU PLC is not same as the actual configuration, the uploaded data would not match the actual configuration. 3-29 Upload Scan CPU Setting V Function Card O V Function Card O Setting Modules O V Configuration Modules Setting O Parameters of scan modules Modules Firmware O V Version
