Connected To Go Online dialog box - Options tab

This dialog box provides information about why the
Logix Designer
 application could not go online, and how to correct the problem. This dialog box also allows limited access to controller status information without requiring correlation with the controller.
From this dialog box, browse for a specific project file to open (and subsequently download), or select the
Nonvolatile Memory
tab to load a project from nonvolatile memory. Once that is done, choose to go online or upload.
