12.22.2 Login
Default Shortcut: <Alt> + <F8>
This command (category Online) connects the application to the target device (PLC or
simulation target) and thus changes into the online mode.
For a login with the current active application, te code generation must have been
completed without errors (see below: Build process before Login) and the
Communication Settings of the device must be configured correctly.
If the communication settings are not yet set properly, then a dialog box will appear
asking you whether you want to set the "active path" by one of the following options
(or to cancel the login operation):
• Option1 (Yes): The communication settings dialog should be opened and a
network scan performed automatically. If the device recently defined in any
project as "active path" (this information is stored on your local system) is found,
then this device will automatically be set to be the active one.
• Option 2 (No): The communication dialog should be opened without any further
automatically executed configuration action. You have to configure the active path
manually.
If the Login command is called from the Online menu, the currently active application
will be concerned.
If the command is called from the context menu when an application object is selected
in the device tree, then the selected application will be affected, no matter whether it
is set active.
Note: Via the object properties dialog you can allocate memory for the application
on the SPS .
The following situations are possible when going to login with the currently active
application (error-free, communication settings configured properly):
• The application is not yet available on the controller: You will be asked you to
confirm the download. For this purpose a dialog box with the following text will
open: "Application <application name> does not exist on device. Do you want to
create it and proceed with download?" The Details button in this dialog provides
information on already applications on the PLC (corresponding to the information
available in the Applications dialog of the Device Editor).
• The application project is already available on the controller and has not been
modified since the last download, the login will be done without further
interaction with the user.
