In this lesson, we continue to instruct on how to use the tools in both Step 7 and TIA Portal.
This discussion is on how resources within the environment. When you load a program to the PLC it requires memory. You need to know both memory in the size of the processor as well as memory where the program resides.
The program downloads to a micro memory card or a MMC. To determine the memory size of your card you will need to add up the size of a couple key areas in your project to determine the correct size. You will also need to see how much memory your program is and make sure that the CPU you pick will handle the PLC program.
Let’s continue looking at the tools we have access to in our programming environment.
There may be a time that you have two copies of a program and you’re not sure if they are different. In this lesson, we are going to discuss how you can use the tool within TIA Portal to determine if there is a difference between two offline projects or you may want to determine if a program that...
Throughout many of the previous lessons, we have been discussing the various tools that may be used in your programming environment.
These tools include cross-referencing, assignment list, call and dependency structures, checking for available resources, searching for unused tags, and much more...
We have previously discussed how to use the compare tool in the TIA Portal environment and in this lesson, we will discuss the same tool but in the Step7 version 5.6 environment instead.
As you know, the compare offline and online tool is used to show the difference between a program that you h...
