Connected To Go Online dialog box - Nonvolatile Memory tab

This dialog box provides information about why
Logix Designer
 could not go online, and what to do to correct the problem. Use this dialog box to gain limited access to controller status information without actually correlating with the controller. Also use this dialog box to browse for a specific project file.
The
Nonvolatile Memory
 tab provides access to nonvolatile memory operations.
TIP:
This tab is available only when the selected controller supports nonvolatile memory.
Parameters
Name
The name of the stored controller image that resides in nonvolatile memory.
Type
The controller type for the image stored in nonvolatile memory. This controller type can be any type that supports nonvolatile memory.
Revision
The firmware revision of the controller when the image in nonvolatile memory was stored. In order for the image in nonvolatile memory to be loaded back into controller memory, the firmware revision of that image must match the revision of the controller.
Load Image
The condition under which the image stored in nonvolatile memory is loaded back to controller memory. Available conditions include:
  • On Corrupt Memory – this will cause a load whenever there is no project in the controller when turning on or cycling power on the chassis. If using a battery on the controller, selecting this option performs a load only if the battery has failed to maintain the project during a loss of power.
  • On Power Up – this will cause a load whenever turning on or cycling power on the chassis. If using a battery on the controller, selecting this option performs a load even if the battery has maintained the project during loss of power.
  • User Initiated – choose this option to load only through the
    Logix Designer
     application.
Regardless of the currently-selected load option, there is always the option to manually initiate a load.
Load Mode
The mode the controller enters upon loading from nonvolatile memory. Choose from:
  • Program (Remote Only)
  • Run (Remote Only)
    TIP:
    Load Mode
     only applies if the controller keyswitch is in the remote position when loading. If the controller keyswitch is in Run or Program the controller will be returned to that mode once the load is complete. The controller keyswitch always has priority over the
    Load Mode
    .
The
Load Mode
 only applies if the
Load Image
 selection is
On Corrupt Memory
 or
On Power Up
. If the
Load Image
 is
User Initiated
, the
Load Mode
 is disabled.
Image Note
Descriptive information entered at the time the image was stored in nonvolatile memory. Enter up to 128 text characters.
Stored
The workstation date and time when the image was stored in nonvolatile memory.
Load/Store
Select to access the
Load/Store
 dialog box.
This button is disabled when:
  • Nonvolatile memory is not present in the controller.
  • The controller is in Run mode.
  • Another user has locked the controller.
  • Redundancy is enabled for the controller.
  • The controller is offline.
If the
Load/Store
button is disabled, the status bar indicates the reason. Note that the status bar will display only one status at a time. Work through each status to enable the
Load/Store
 button.
Inhibit Automatic Firmware Update
This option inhibits the Automatic Update feature and is always disabled in the connected state.
