Dear All, I have tried my PLCnext Starter Kit. I was online and made 1 simple program. Now I have question when my Project already delivered. Then some module have to replace because damage, do we need always online and detecting “Online Module” as done during online first time, or as long as the hardware model is the same we can just plug and play. Thanks.
If you are using a SD card the replacement is very simple. Just put the SD card from the damaged controller into the new one. That’s all. If you operate the controler without a SD card, the program needs to be downloaded to the new controller manually as you did it the first time.
Thanks. Is it auto download to SD Card if there, or have another setting? Also about security, is it possible if someone just take SD Card and upload program from there?
You can activate or deactivate the SD card in the web-based management of the AXC. When the card is activated, the PLC will look for a PLC program at startup on the card automatically. On the SD card there is only the binary code of the PLC program installed unless you downloaded the source files to the card. So if someone steals the card, he cannot open the binary files with the PLCnext Engineer.
