If, after configuration—such as adding devices like a gateway—the software is installed again, will this cause any issues? Thank you!
The configuration programs uploaded via the PLC in STEP7 are usually complete, but if you add devices such as gateways after configuration, it is necessary to ensure that all configuration parameters are correct before downloading them, in order to avoid malfunctions. .
The program uploaded should be the complete version, including the hardware configuration; if any changes are made, it needs to be recompiled and saved before being downloaded
The only downside is that annotations cannot be uploaded back; I’m not sure if this is still the case It hasn’t been used in a long time
