When rewriting the program, all data in the data area are reset to zero. Therefore, I tried to hold the data by using "Hold PLC Device Value" function of GT10. However, the data still became zero. How can I successfully hold the data?
- ANSWER
- First of all, "Hold PLC Device Value" function of GT10 is intended to hold data in case of a power failure, and cannot be used for holding the data area. If you need to save the data in a specific area, use "Data Editor", which is software supplied with FPWIN GR. Go to Start of Windows > All Programs > Panasonic MEW Control > FPWIN GR2, and activate "Data Editor". With this software, you can easily read, save, and write any data area of PLC, including an IC card.
