Downloading a TwinCAT configuration
The TwinCAT configuration is loaded into the Bus Terminal Controller via ADS protocol.
Serial ADS protocol
(all Bus Terminal Controllers of the BXxx00 and BCxx50 series)
Enter the serial ADS connection, as described in the chapter Serial ADS .
ADS protocol via the fieldbus
(BC3150, BC5150, BC9x20, BC9050, BX3100, BX5100, BX9000, BC9191 only)
A prerequisite is that TwinCAT operates as master and is engaged in data exchange, i.e. the physical and fieldbus configuration must be complete, and data exchange must take place between the master (e.g. fieldbus master card) and the Bus Terminal Controller.
Choose Target System
Select the Bus Terminal Controller onto which the configuration is to be loaded. Use the function key F8 to open the dialog for downloading your file to the corresponding device.
Select the corresponding Bus Terminal Controller.
The state of the Bus Terminal Controller is shown at the bottom right of the System Manager.
In Config mode / FreeRun the configuration can now be downloaded to Bus Terminal Controller. If the Bus Terminal Controller is in Stop mode, ADS communication is not yet activated. In this case, it is not possible to download the configuration.
To activate the TwinCAT configuration select Ctrl+Shift+F4 or Activate Configuration.
The current configuration is loaded onto the Bus Terminal Controller. The display will show Store Config, and the BUS and I/O LED will flash. Once the configuration is successfully loaded onto Bus Terminal Controller, TwinCAT Config should appear in the display of a BXxx00. The corresponding program can now be transferred to the Bus Terminal Controller (program-download via the fieldbus).
