Other Tools
In Tools user can set Preferences and Communication
Settings options;

51

www.smar.com

Other Tools
Select a correct Directory before the LC700 CPU
communication in order to visualize a correct User Tag
information, previously configured, of course;

52

www.smar.com

Online Edit
In this mode the user can:
- Change logic elements;
- Change blocks parameters;
- Change function blocks;
- Visualize the process after the changes (through
monitoring the logic net);
- Undo changes, if they were not saved in the controller;
- Edit only one logic net by time;

53

www.smar.com

Online Edit
How it works?
During the Online editing, the CPU700 allocates a
separated memory area only for the new changes. That
particular logic network that is being edited will be
running during the whole editing process. In this way the
user can progressively observe the system response for
each of the changes;
Many modifications can be done before the decision to
finally save them in the CPU700;

54

www.smar.com

Online Edit
It will still be possible to cancel all modifications sent to
the CPU700 if they were not saved to the EEPROM at
this time!
To modify a logic element, its corresponding label or a
function block parameter, right click on the cell where
the object is;
Many other modifications can be done in the same logic
network before partially sending to the CPU700 to see
the systems reaction;

55

www.smar.com

Online Edit
After several partial modifications, the user can finally
decide to confirm the new configuration by saving it to
the CPU700 EEPROM;
Remember to save the modifications to the disk;

56

www.smar.com

Online Edit

57

www.smar.com

Online Edit

58

www.smar.com

Online Edit
The Online Editing buttons:
Send all temporary changes to the CPU700.
Temporary changes are indicated by a (tc) mark close
to the object;
Save all previous changes on the CPU700 NVRAM.
Previous changes are represented by a (pc) mark
close to the object;
The logic object has this mark only when the
modification has been sent to the CPU700 but not yet
saved;

59

www.smar.com

Online Edit
Go back to the original or last saved logic network. The
logic network will be replaced by the last one saved in the
CPU700 NVRAM;
Erase all temporary changes from the network. All objects
with the (tc) mark will return to their last saved
configuration;

NOTE:
We recommend a CPU configuration Upload before Online
Editions, in order to assure configuration changes compatibility.

CONF700 V8_54_NEWS
The LC700 controller supports two online edition modes:
Online Edit and Full Online Edition.
These two modes are different and competitive, the
option to use one or the other depends on the situation.
- Online Edit
- Full Online Edition

62

www.smar.com

Full Online Edition

In this mode, the user can also:
- Add/Remove Networks;
- Add/Remove Modules;
- Add/Remove RIO Interfaces;
- Add/Remove User Functions;
- Change Module Configurations;
- Move Modules;
- Undo changes that were sent to the controller;
- Visualize the control process after the update (logic net
monitoring);
Consult also the CONF700_V8.54 Configuration
Manual for details.
63

www.smar.com

Full Online Edition

Full Online Edition
The Option "Full Online Edition" allows the user to
modify a configuration while the logical controller
executes the Ladder, without that the process is
interrupted.
It guarantees the continuity without brusque
alterations in the plant.

64

www.smar.com

Full Online Edition

This mode allows the user to perform the existing

alterations in Edit Online mode and also to add and
to erase:
9 Nets;
9 Modules;
9 Virtual I/O Modules;
9 User Functions;
9 RIO Interfaces;
9 Logic Elements.

state of test, and the user will be able:
* To confirm the effected alterations
(ACCEPT CHANGES Option)

* To cancel the effected alterations

(REMOVE CHANGES Option)

70

www.smar.com

Forms to Update the Configuration

ONLINE (After Update)
User can change configuration and the changes effect;
User can accept the configuration changes or remove all;

71

www.smar.com

SYSTEM TEST
(after update)
- Confirm (Accept Changes)
In this form, the system starts to effect the control with the
new configuration and the old configuration is discarded.

- Cancel (Remove Changes)

It preserves the current values of the dinamic variables.
In this case, the system returns to execution of the
control with the old configuration and discards the new
configuration.
The existing dinamic variables for both configurations are
updated with the current values.

Differencial Download
Mode: Offline Online
- Offline, active the option "Use base configuration", make
the alterations and later unload the updates for the LC700.
Table of Conditions

The configuration file has two date:

1) Date of Saving(DataSave): date of the last saving.
2) Date of reference (DataRef): date that will be sent to
CPU-700 and also will be reference to make
possible the differential download.
Date of LC700: configuration date in the CPU-700.

Dividing a large
program into smaller
tasks simplifies the
work.
Execution order can be
configured.
Jumps can be done
between subroutines
based on conditions.
You can create as

Managing Multiple Diagrams

The diagrams (networks) can be individually named to make
access easier.
The plant may be divided such that one network is equivalent
to the ISA S88 control module, I.e. approximately one loop.

I/O Details
Optionally configure the user labels (symbolic identifiers) for
the I/O channels. These should preferably follow the tags in
the P&I diagram to make reference easy.
This is also where fail-safe values are configured.
