If the connected device is password-protected, the password in the textbox “Password” is used for login. The password is stored in the project file together with the project data. The upload includes always the complete project and in case of PLCs all data registers: DT, SV, EV, FL, WL and LD.
There are two possibilities to reduce the amount of data:
GT: Firmware upload can be omitted.
PLC: To exclude flash from the upload, make sure the "Flash" checkbox is not checked.
A protected master PLC or GT panel keeps its password-protection after the data has been uploaded!
To get correct setting of the hold-typed data the PLC must be switched to RUN mode at least once before uploading the data. Only in this case the startup detection registers are initialized and uploaded correctly!
Please ensure that the compile options of the FPWIN Pro project are set correctly corresponding to the download options to ensure a correct behavior after switching from PROG to RUN and to get a consistent project. (see Download)
